I'm going to be a king, I tell you, a woods king, and I'll make you a prince, if you stick to me." A glow appeared in the eyes of Braxton Wyatt. "I'll stick to you fast enough," he said. "Do it," said Girty in a tone of confidence, "and you can have all the revenge you want upon the boy, Ware, his comrades, and all the rest of them. Maybe you won't have to wait long, either."
It's a good thing to hit first at those you see are trying to hit at you, and so I think we ought to follow up the success fortune has given us." "An' it 'pears we kin do that best by keepin' right on the trail o' Braxton Wyatt an' his band," said Shif'less Sol. "That's the way I see it," said Henry. "How do you feel about it, Tom?" "Right plan," replied Ross.
"What shall we do with them?" asked Paul, pointing to the silent forms on the floor. "Leave them," said Henry. "Butler's army is burning everything before it, and this house and all in it is bound to go. You notice, however, that Braxton Wyatt is not here." "Trust him to escape every time," said Shif'less Sol. "Of course he stood back while the Indians rushed the house.
The lost trail could not be found, and wrath possessed him. He looked at the renegade, and uttered his discontent. Braxton Wyatt longed more than ever to tell; they were there so near, it seemed he must tell; but the deadly rifles held him back. No one of their bullets would miss! "Yellow Panther," he said, and his voice faltered, "let us abandon the trail and go back."
I want a share in the victory that our side will win at the Indian towns. I am sure that the triumph will be ours." "It seems the best policy to me," said Braxton Wyatt. "Timmendiquas does not like me any more than he does you, but the Indians appreciate our help. I suppose we'd better follow at once." "Take it easy," said Girty. "There's no hurry.
The Continentals, as they call themselves rebels I call them held McKee, Eliot and myself prisoners at Fort Pitt, the place they call Pittsburgh, but we escaped and here we are. We've been joined by Blackstaffe, Quarles, and the boy, Braxton Wyatt.
I have felt that all this mighty valley should belong to the Indians who have inhabited it so long, but, if the white people come, it should be those who are true and loyal to their kings, not these rebels of the colonies." Francisco Alvarez smiled cynically, and once more surveyed Braxton Wyatt, with a rapid, measuring glance.
Braxton, with streaming eyes, laid the head of her husband in her lap and watched his expiring throes with agony, such as only a wife and mother can feel when she sees the dear partner of her life and the father of her sons torn in an instant from her embrace. Seeing that her husband was no more, she dried her tears and thought only of vengeance on his murderers.
"Thar, I feel better," said Shif'less Sol, when his face quit moving, "but though they're a long distance off I kin see with my mind's eyes Braxton Wyatt an' his band stalkin' us in our home in the rock, an' claspin' us in a grip that can't be shook off." "Shettin' down on us," said Silent Tom. The shiftless one bent upon him a reproving look.
They could not escape in any event, for almost as soon as the words reached them the General came into view. He saw them at once, and it required only a glance at the approaching horses to tell him everything. With an inarticulate cry of rage, his gray hair streaming behind him, he rushed wildly back to the house. The Colonel looked after him, and then turned to Miss Braxton.
