The
light
was
fine
,
so
I
set
and
focused
the
camera
and
covered
it
with
branches
,
attached
the
long
hose
,
and
went
away
over
a
hundred
feet
and
hid
in
some
bushes
to
wait
.
A
short
,
stout
man
and
a
tall
,
dark
one
passed
me
so
closely
I
almost
could
have
reached
out
and
touched
them
.
They
carried
a
big
saw
on
their
shoulders
.
They
said
they
could
work
until
near
noon
,
and
then
they
must
lay
off
until
you
passed
and
then
try
to
load
and
get
out
at
night
.
They
went
on
—
not
entirely
from
sight
—
and
began
cutting
a
tree
.
Mr
.
McLean
told
me
the
other
day
what
would
probably
happen
here
,
and
if
they
fell
that
tree
he
loses
his
wager
on
you
.
Keep
to
the
east
and
north
and
hustle
.
We
’
ll
meet
you
at
the
carriage
.
I
always
am
armed
.
Give
Angel
one
of
your
revolvers
,
and
you
keep
the
other
.
We
will
separate
and
creep
toward
them
from
different
sides
and
give
them
a
fusillade
that
will
send
them
flying
.
You
hurry
,
now
!
”
She
lifted
the
reins
and
started
briskly
down
the
trail
.
The
Angel
,
hatless
and
with
sparkling
eyes
,
was
clinging
around
her
waist
.
Freckles
wheeled
and
ran
.
He
worked
his
way
with
much
care
,
dodging
limbs
and
bushes
with
noiseless
tread
,
and
cutting
as
closely
where
he
thought
the
men
were
as
he
felt
that
he
dared
if
he
were
to
remain
unseen
.
As
he
ran
he
tried
to
think
.
It
was
Wessner
,
burning
for
his
revenge
,
aided
by
the
bully
of
the
locality
,
that
he
was
going
to
meet
.
He
was
accustomed
to
that
thought
but
not
to
the
complication
of
having
two
women
on
his
hands
who
undoubtedly
would
have
to
be
taken
care
of
in
spite
of
the
Bird
Woman
’
s
offer
to
help
him
.
His
heart
was
jarring
as
it
never
had
before
with
running
.
He
must
follow
the
Bird
Woman
’
s
plan
and
meet
them
at
the
carriage
,
but
if
they
really
did
intend
to
try
to
help
him
,
he
must
not
allow
it
.
Allow
the
Angel
to
try
to
handle
a
revolver
in
his
defence
?
Never
!
Not
for
all
the
trees
in
the
Limberlost
!
She
might
shoot
herself
.
She
might
forget
to
watch
sharply
and
run
across
a
snake
that
was
not
particularly
well
behaved
that
morning
.
Freckles
permitted
himself
a
grim
smile
as
he
went
speeding
on
.
When
he
reached
the
carriage
,
the
Bird
Woman
and
the
Angel
had
the
horse
hitched
,
the
outfit
packed
,
and
were
calmly
waiting
.
The
Bird
Woman
held
a
revolver
in
her
hand
.
She
wore
dark
clothing
.
They
had
pinned
a
big
focusing
cloth
over
the
front
of
the
Angel
’
s
light
dress
.
“
Give
Angel
one
of
your
revolvers
,
quick
!
”
said
the
Bird
Woman
.
“
We
will
creep
up
until
we
are
in
fair
range
.
The
underbrush
is
so
thick
and
they
are
so
busy
that
they
will
never
notice
us
,
if
we
don
’
t
make
a
noise
.
You
fire
first
,
then
I
will
pop
in
from
my
direction
,
and
then
you
,
Angel
,
and
shoot
quite
high
,
or
else
very
low
.
We
mustn
’
t
really
hit
them
.
We
’
ll
go
close
enough
to
the
cowards
to
make
it
interesting
,
and
keep
it
up
until
we
have
them
going
.
”
Freckles
protested
.
The
Bird
Woman
reached
over
,
and
,
taking
the
smaller
revolver
from
his
belt
,
handed
it
to
the
Angel
.
“
Keep
your
nerve
steady
,
dear
;
watch
where
you
step
,
and
shoot
high
,
”
she
said
.
“
Go
straight
at
them
from
where
you
are
.
Wait
until
you
hear
Freckles
’
first
shot
,
then
follow
me
as
closely
as
you
can
,
to
let
them
know
that
we
outnumber
them
.
If
you
want
to
save
McLean
’
s
wager
on
you
,
now
you
go
!
”
she
commanded
Freckles
,
who
,
with
an
agonized
glance
at
the
Angel
,
ran
toward
the
east
.
The
Bird
Woman
chose
the
middle
distance
,
and
for
a
last
time
cautioned
the
Angel
as
she
moved
away
to
lie
down
and
shoot
high
.
