He
rose
to
his
feet
,
but
found
that
he
could
not
stand
upright
.
Feebleness
was
now
added
to
his
other
infirmity
;
and
after
struggling
a
pace
or
two
,
he
was
glad
to
return
to
a
recumbent
position
.
At
this
crisis
a
happy
thought
occurred
to
him
.
Tara
might
take
a
message
to
the
hut
!
"
If
I
could
but
get
him
to
go
,
"
said
he
,
as
he
turned
inquiringly
towards
the
dog
.
"
Come
hither
,
old
fellow
!
"
he
continued
,
addressing
himself
to
the
dumb
animal
;
"
I
want
you
to
play
postman
for
me
--
to
carry
a
letter
.
You
understand
?
Wait
till
I
've
got
it
written
.
I
shall
then
explain
myself
more
fully
.
"
"
By
good
luck
I
've
got
a
card
,
"
he
added
,
feeling
for
his
case
.
"
No
pencil
!
That
do
n't
matter
.
There
's
plenty
of
ink
around
;
and
for
a
pen
I
can
use
the
thorn
of
yonder
maguey
.
"
He
crept
up
to
the
plant
thus
designated
;
broke
off
one
of
the
long
spines
terminating
its
great
leaves
;
dipped
it
in
the
blood
of
a
coyoté
that
lay
near
;
and
drawing
forth
a
card
,
traced
some
characters
upon
it
.
With
a
strip
of
thong
,
the
card
was
then
attached
to
the
neck
of
the
staghound
,
after
being
wrapped
up
in
a
piece
of
oilcloth
torn
from
the
lining
of
the
Panama
hat
.
It
only
remained
to
despatch
the
canine
post
upon
his
errand
.
This
proved
a
somewhat
difficult
task
.
The
dumb
creature
,
despite
a
wondrous
intelligence
,
could
not
comprehend
why
he
should
forsake
the
side
of
one
he
had
so
faithfully
befriended
;
and
for
a
long
time
resisted
the
coaxings
and
chidings
,
meant
to
warn
him
away
.
It
was
only
after
being
scolded
in
a
tone
of
assumed
anger
,
and
beaten
by
the
black-jack
crutch
--
stricken
by
the
man
whose
life
he
had
so
lately
saved
,
that
he
had
consented
to
leave
the
spot
.
Even
canine
affection
could
not
endure
this
;
and
with
repeated
looks
of
reproach
,
cast
backwards
as
he
was
chased
off
,
he
trotted
reluctantly
into
the
chapparal
.
