There
's
no
doubt
about
young
Poindexter
being
dead
,
and
having
been
murdered
.
Every
one
believes
that
.
Well
;
who
else
was
likely
to
have
done
it
?
The
cousin
swears
to
having
overheard
a
quarrel
between
him
and
Gerald
.
"
"
That
precious
cousin
would
swear
to
anything
that
suited
his
purpose
,
"
interposed
Hancock
,
of
the
Dragoons
.
"
Besides
,
his
own
shindy
with
the
same
man
is
suggestive
of
suspicion
--
is
it
not
?
"
"
And
if
there
was
a
quarrel
,
"
argued
the
officer
of
infantry
,
"
what
then
?
It
do
n't
follow
there
was
a
murder
.
"
"
Then
you
think
the
fellow
may
have
killed
Poindexter
in
a
fair
fight
?
"
"
Something
of
the
sort
is
possible
,
and
even
probable
.
I
will
admit
that
much
.
"
"
But
what
did
they
have
a
difficulty
about
?
"
asked
Hancock
.
"
I
heard
that
young
Poindexter
was
on
friendly
terms
with
the
horse-hunter
--
notwithstanding
what
had
happened
between
him
and
Calhoun
.
What
could
they
have
quarrelled
about
?
"
"
A
singular
interrogation
on
your
part
,
Lieutenant
Hancock
!
"
answered
the
infantry
officer
,
with
a
significant
emphasis
on
the
pronoun
.
"
As
if
men
ever
quarrelled
about
anything
except
--
"
"
Except
women
,
"
interrupted
the
dragoon
with
a
laugh
.
"
But
which
woman
,
I
wonder
?
It
could
not
be
anything
relating
to
young
Poindexter
's
sister
?
"
