Then
hauling
upon
the
other
end
,
he
drew
it
taut
as
a
bowstring
.
The
horse
for
a
time
kept
starting
about
the
stall
,
and
snorting
with
rage
.
But
his
snorts
were
soon
changed
into
a
hissing
sound
,
that
with
difficulty
escaped
through
his
nostrils
;
and
his
wrath
resolved
itself
into
terror
.
The
rope
tightly
compressing
his
throat
was
the
cause
of
the
change
.
Zeb
now
approached
him
without
fear
;
and
,
after
making
the
slip
fast
,
commenced
lifting
his
feet
one
after
the
other
--
scrutinising
each
,
in
great
haste
,
but
at
the
same
time
with
sufficient
care
.
He
appeared
to
take
note
of
the
shape
,
the
shoeing
,
the
number
and
relative
position
of
the
nails
--
in
short
,
everything
that
might
suggest
an
idiosyncrasy
,
or
assist
in
a
future
identification
.
On
coming
to
the
off
hind
foot
--
which
he
did
last
of
the
four
--
an
exclamation
escaped
him
that
proclaimed
some
satisfactory
surprise
.
It
was
caused
by
the
sight
of
a
broken
shoe
--
nearly
a
quarter
of
which
was
missing
from
the
hoof
,
the
fracture
having
occurred
at
the
second
nail
from
the
canker
.
"
Ef
I
'd
know
'd
o
'
you
,
"
he
muttered
in
apostrophe
to
the
imperfect
shoe
,
"
I
mout
a
'
saved
myself
the
trouble
o
'
examinin
'
the
tothers
.
Thur
ai
n't
much
chance
o
'
mistakin
'
the
print
you
'd
be
likely
to
leave
ahint
ye
.
To
make
shur
,
I
'll
jest
take
ye
along
wi
me
.
"
In
conformity
with
this
resolve
,
he
drew
out
his
huge
hunting
knife
--
the
blade
of
which
,
near
the
hilt
,
was
a
quarter
of
an
inch
thick
--
and
,
inserting
it
under
the
piece
of
iron
,
he
wrenched
it
from
the
hoof
.
Taking
care
to
have
the
nails
along
,
he
transferred
it
to
the
capacious
pocket
of
his
coat
.
Then
nimbly
gliding
back
to
the
trail-rope
,
he
undid
the
knot
;
and
restored
the
interrupted
respiration
of
the
sorrel
.
Pluto
came
in
the
moment
after
,
bringing
a
plentiful
supply
of
refreshments
--
including
a
tumbler
of
the
Monongahela
;
and
to
these
Zeb
instantly
applied
himself
,
without
saying
a
word
about
the
interlude
that
had
occurred
during
the
darkey
's
absence
.
