On
the
present
occasion
there
was
no
necessity
for
such
excessive
speed
;
and
the
Fort
was
reached
after
fifteen
minutes
'
sharp
trotting
.
On
reaching
it
,
Zeb
slipped
out
of
the
saddle
,
and
made
his
way
to
the
quarters
of
the
commandant
;
while
the
mare
was
left
panting
upon
the
parade
ground
.
The
old
hunter
had
no
difficulty
in
obtaining
an
interview
with
the
military
chief
of
Fort
Inge
.
Looked
upon
by
the
officers
as
a
sort
of
privileged
character
,
he
had
the
entrée
at
all
times
,
and
could
go
in
without
countersign
,
or
any
of
the
other
formalities
usually
demanded
from
a
stranger
.
The
sentry
passed
him
,
as
a
matter
of
course
--
the
officer
of
the
guard
only
exchanged
with
him
a
word
of
welcome
;
and
the
adjutant
at
once
announced
his
name
to
the
major
commanding
the
cantonment
.
From
his
first
words
,
the
latter
appeared
to
have
been
expecting
him
.
"
Ah
!
Mr
Stump
!
Glad
to
see
you
so
soon
.
Have
you
made
any
discovery
in
this
queer
affair
?
From
your
quick
return
,
I
can
almost
say
you
have
.
Something
,
I
hope
,
in
favour
of
this
unfortunate
young
fellow
.
Notwithstanding
that
appearances
are
strongly
against
him
,
I
still
adhere
to
my
old
opinion
--
that
he
's
innocent
.
What
have
you
learnt
?
"
"
Wal
,
Maje
,
"
answered
Zeb
,
without
making
other
obeisance
than
the
simple
politeness
of
removing
his
hat
;
"
what
I
've
larnt
aint
much
,
tho
'
enough
to
fetch
me
back
to
the
Fort
;
where
I
did
n't
intend
to
come
,
till
I
'd
gone
a
bit
o
'
a
jurney
acrosst
the
purayras
.
I
kim
back
hyur
to
hev
a
word
wi
'
yurself
.
"
"
In
welcome
.
What
is
it
you
have
to
say
?
"
"
That
ye
'll
keep
back
this
trial
as
long
's
ye
kin
raisonably
do
so
.
I
know
thur
's
a
pressyur
from
the
outside
;
but
I
know
,
too
,
that
ye
've
got
the
power
to
resist
it
,
an
what
's
more
,
Maje
--
yo
've
got
the
will
.
"
"
I
have
.
You
speak
quite
truly
about
that
,
Mr
Stump
.
And
as
to
the
power
,
I
have
that
,
too
,
in
a
certain
sense
.
