Calhoun
rides
slowly
--
a
close
observer
might
say
reluctantly
in
the
rear
.
At
a
point
where
the
path
angles
abruptly
round
a
clump
of
trees
,
he
reins
up
,
and
appears
to
consider
whether
he
should
go
on
,
or
gallop
back
.
His
countenance
betrays
terrible
agitation
.
Zeb
Stump
,
admonished
by
the
interrupted
footfall
,
becomes
aware
that
his
travelling
companion
has
stopped
.
He
pulls
up
his
mare
;
and
facing
round
,
regards
the
loiterer
with
a
look
of
interrogation
.
He
observes
the
agitated
air
,
and
perfectly
comprehends
its
cause
.
Without
saying
a
word
,
he
lowers
his
long
rifle
from
its
rest
upon
his
left
shoulder
;
lays
it
across
the
hollow
of
his
arm
,
ready
at
an
instant
's
notice
to
be
carried
to
his
cheek
.
In
this
attitude
he
sits
eyeing
the
ex-captain
of
cavalry
.
There
is
no
remark
made
.
None
is
needed
.
Zeb
's
gesture
is
sufficient
.
It
plainly
says
:
--
"
Go
back
if
ye
dare
!
"
The
latter
,
without
appearing
to
notice
it
,
takes
the
hint
;
and
moves
silently
on
.
But
no
longer
is
he
permitted
to
ride
in
the
rear
.
Without
saying
it
,
the
old
hunter
has
grown
suspicious
,
and
makes
an
excuse
for
keeping
behind
--
with
which
his
compagnon
du
voyage
is
compelled
to
put
up
.
The
cavalcade
advances
slowly
through
the
chapparal
.
