But my idol snatched away her hand, and, laughing more wildly than the Bandit's Bride was ever described to have done, ran into her room. After that day her manner to me was not only cold, but repulsive; I felt myself scorned, and became very unhappy. Perhaps four months had passed thus, when, one afternoon, it became obvious that something more than common was brewing.
The persons whom he had left at Avignon who were curious to know if this could be the terrible Morgan, the terror of the Midi, might have convinced themselves with their own eyes, had they met him on the road between Avignon and Bedarides, whether the bandit's appearance was as terrifying as his renown.
He now addressed him directly: "You are dronk," he affirmed, and stamped his foot. Frightened, the boy cried: "No! No!" Certainly he was under the influence of the deadly tequila; but when he saw the bandit's face, and realized that he was in his power, he became suddenly and miraculously sober. He was firmly convinced that his last moment on this earth had come.
He felt that his triumph was now complete. "'E cannot be happy until 'e pay you back." "No, sir," sitting up straight in his chair. "I shall give you ten sousand dollar," was the bandit's surprising remark. Uncle Henry thought he could not have heard aright. "Ten thousand ! Yes, but where are you going to get it?" he inquired, a bit dazed. "Do not ask me." He caught sight of "Red."
Orso slipped two five-franc pieces into the bandit's hand. "It was Colomba who sent you the powder. This is to buy the shoes." "Nonsense, Lieutenant!" cried Brandolaccio, handing him back the two coins. "D'ye take me for a beggar? I accept bread and powder, but I won't have anything else!" "We are both old soldiers, so I thought we might have given each other a lift. Well, good-bye to you!"
"You have been very guilty," continued he, "but I have pardoned you, for having done me a kindness, when I was obliged to hide from my enemies. I shall load you with favors, when I shall have regained my empire. Do you promise to serve me with zeal?" The bandit's question and impudence made me smile. "Why do you laugh?" said he, frowning, "do you not believe that I am the great Czar?
Then followed a quick interchange of shots for perhaps a minute, certainly no more, and then I heard Boone's cool voice: "Drive on, 'Gene!" "Move an' I'll kill you!" came in a hoarse bandit's voice from the thicket east of us.
He was only a hopeless, passionate boy in the hands of a strong, implacable man. He would be like wax to a sculptor's touch. Jim would bend to this bandit's will, and through his very tenacity of love and memory be driven farther on the road to drink, to gaming, and to crime.
And this is the case with the Carabus. To see him so richly adorned, who would not wish to find him a fine subject for investigation, one worthy of history, a subject such as humbler natures provide with lavish generosity? From this ferocious ransacker of entrails we expect nothing of the kind. His art is that of slaying. We may without trouble observe him at his bandit's work.
He lost and lost, and with each bag of gold-dust went something of his spirit. And when he was reduced to his original share he indeed showed that yellow streak which Jesse Smith had attributed to him. The bandit's effort to pull himself together, to be a man before that scornful gang, was pitiful and futile.
