Freckles
stepped
back
,
squared
his
shoulders
,
and
with
a
royal
lift
of
his
head
looked
straight
into
the
Boss
’
s
eyes
.
“
You
saw
her
in
the
beautiful
little
room
of
her
,
and
you
can
’
t
be
forgetting
how
she
begged
and
plead
with
you
for
me
.
She
touched
me
body
,
and
’
twas
sanctified
.
She
laid
her
lips
on
my
brow
,
and
’
twas
sacrament
.
Nobody
knows
the
height
of
her
better
than
me
.
Nobody
’
s
studied
my
depths
closer
.
There
’
s
no
bridge
for
the
great
distance
between
us
,
sir
,
and
clearest
of
all
,
I
’
m
for
realizing
it
:
but
she
risked
terrible
things
when
she
came
to
me
among
that
gang
of
thieves
.
She
wore
herself
past
bearing
to
save
me
from
such
an
easy
thing
as
death
!
Now
,
here
’
s
me
,
a
man
,
a
big
,
strong
man
,
and
letting
her
live
under
that
fearful
oath
,
so
worse
than
any
death
’
twould
be
for
her
,
and
lifting
not
a
finger
to
save
her
.
I
cannot
hear
it
,
sir
.
It
’
s
killing
me
by
inches
!
Black
Jack
’
s
hand
may
not
have
been
hurt
so
bad
.
Any
hour
he
may
be
creeping
up
behind
her
!
Any
minute
the
awful
revenge
he
swore
to
be
taking
may
in
some
way
fall
on
her
,
and
I
haven
’
t
even
warned
her
father
.
I
can
’
t
stay
here
doing
nothing
another
hour
.
The
five
nights
gone
I
’
ve
watched
under
her
windows
,
but
there
’
s
the
whole
of
the
day
.
She
’
s
her
own
horse
and
little
cart
,
and
’
s
free
to
be
driving
through
the
town
and
country
as
she
pleases
.
If
any
evil
comes
to
her
through
Black
Jack
,
it
comes
from
her
angel
-
like
goodness
to
me
.
Somewhere
he
’
s
hiding
!
Somewhere
he
is
waiting
his
chance
!
Somewhere
he
is
reaching
out
for
her
!
I
tell
you
I
cannot
,
I
dare
not
be
bearing
it
longer
!
”
“
Freckles
,
be
quiet
!
”
said
McLean
,
his
eyes
humid
and
his
voice
quivering
with
the
pity
of
it
all
.
“
Believe
me
,
I
did
not
understand
.
I
know
the
Angel
’
s
father
well
.
I
will
go
to
him
at
once
.
I
have
transacted
business
with
him
for
the
past
three
years
.
I
will
make
him
see
!
I
am
only
beginning
to
realize
your
agony
,
and
the
real
danger
there
is
for
the
Angel
.
Believe
me
,
I
will
see
that
she
is
fully
protected
every
hour
of
the
day
and
night
until
Jack
is
located
and
disposed
of
.
And
I
promise
you
further
,
that
if
I
fail
to
move
her
father
or
make
him
understand
the
danger
,
I
will
maintain
a
guard
over
her
until
Jack
is
caught
.
Now
will
you
go
bathe
,
drink
some
milk
,
go
to
bed
,
and
sleep
for
hours
,
and
then
be
my
brave
,
bright
old
boy
again
?
”
“
Yis
,
”
said
Freckles
simply
.
But
McLean
could
see
the
flesh
was
twitching
on
the
lad
’
s
bones
.
“
What
was
it
the
guard
brought
there
?
”
McLean
asked
in
an
effort
to
distract
Freckles
’
thoughts
.
“
Oh
!
”
Freckles
said
,
glancing
where
the
Boss
pointed
,
“
I
forgot
it
!
’
Tis
an
otter
,
and
fine
past
believing
,
for
this
warm
weather
.
I
shot
it
at
the
creek
this
morning
.
’
Twas
a
good
shot
,
considering
.
I
expected
to
miss
.
”
Freckles
picked
up
the
animal
and
started
toward
McLean
with
it
,
but
Nellie
pricked
up
her
dainty
little
ears
,
danced
into
the
swale
,
and
snorted
with
fright
.
Freckles
dropped
the
otter
and
ran
to
her
head
.
“
For
pity
’
s
sake
,
get
her
on
the
trail
,
sir
,
”
he
begged
.
“
She
’
s
just
about
where
the
old
king
rattler
crosses
to
go
into
the
swamp
—
the
old
buster
Duncan
and
I
have
been
telling
you
of
.
I
haven
’
t
a
doubt
but
it
was
the
one
Mother
Duncan
met
.
’
Twas
down
the
trail
there
,
just
a
little
farther
on
,
that
I
found
her
,
and
it
’
s
sure
to
be
close
yet
.
