"I knowed there was something of this kind goin' on, sir," said Jack, turning to his officer, and giving his pants a hitch; "I knowed, by the way the young lady handed over them we'pons, that there was something about that bed she didn't want us to see." "Yes, Ellen," said the rebel, "I have to thank you for my capture. If it hadn't been for your crying and whimpering, I might have"
"'Wal, ef here an't another, and I was speedily surrounded, and commanded to 'hand over my we'pons. "'Look here, boys, said I, 'I've got a pass, and I made a motion to produce it. "'Oh, we don't want to see your pass, said the corporal who had charge of the squad; 'we've seed a dozen to-night that wasn't no 'count.
"Escaped," exclaimed Jack. "No, sir; not so easy. Don't go to jawin' her, now, 'cause yer ketched. Come, now," he continued, "let's have yer we'pons." The rebel coolly handed out two silver-mounted revolvers, which the mate thrust into his belt. "Now, I hope you're satisfied," said Mary, impatiently; "and are ready to go and leave us in peace."

But he didn't kill him; he only shot him through the shoulder. He's sartin to be hung. "You can easily imagine my feelings as I sat there and listened to this.
Deerslayer laughed heartily at his own conceit, and, in a minute or two, they were both standing on the platform, selecting some object in the Ark for their target. Judith was led by curiosity to their side. "Stand back, gal, stand a little back; these we'pons have been long loaded," said Deerslayer, "and some accident may happen in the discharge."
