THE WAR- TRAIL! §

CHAPTER XXIV (ContTinvep).

His companion was very different in appearance ! unlike him—in almost every respect unlike anybody I had ever seen, excepting himself.

‘The whole appearance of the individual was odd and striking. He was seated ou the opposite side of the fire, with his face partially turned towards me, and

his head sunk down between a pair of

long lank thighs. He looked more like the stump of a tree dressed in dirt-colored buckskin than a human being; and had his arms not been in motion, he might have been mistaken for such an object. Both his arms and jaws were moving; the latter engaged in polishing a rib of meat which he had half roasted over the coals.

His dress —if dress it could be called — was simple as it was savage. It consisted of what might have

once been a_ hunting-shirt, but which now looked more like a leathern bag with the bottom ripped open, and sleeves sewed into the sides. It was of a dirty brown color, wrinkled at the hol- low of the arms, patched around the armpits, aud greasy all over; it was fairly “* caked” with dirt! There was no attempt at either ornament or fringe. There had been a cape, but this had evi- dently been drawn upon from time to time, for patches and other uses, until searce a vestige of it remained. The leggings and moccasins were on a par with the shirt, and seemed to have been manufactured out of the same hide. They, too, were dirt-brown, patched, wriokled, and greasy. They did not meet each other, but left a piece of ankle bare, and hat also was dirt-brown, like the buckskin. There was no undershirt, vest, or other garment te be seen, with the exception of a close-fitting cap, which had once been catskin ; but the hair was ell worn off it, leaving a greasy,leathery- looking surface, that corresponded well with the other parts of the dress. Cap, shirt, leggings, and moccasins, looked as if they had never been stripped off since the day they were first tried on, and that might have been many a year ago! The shirt was open, display- ing the naked breast and throat, end these, as well as the face, hands, and ankles, had been tanned by the sun and smoked by the fire to the hue of rusty copper. The whole man, clothes and all, looked as if he had been smoked on purpose |

His face bespoke a man of sixty, or thereabouts; his features were sharp, and somewhat aqualine; and the small eyes were dark, quick and piercing. His hair was black, and cut short; his complexion had been naturally brunette, though there was nothing of the French- mau or Spaniard in his physiognomy. He was more likely of the black-Saxon breed.

AsI looked at this man, I saw that there was a strangevess about him inde- pendent of the oddness of his attire, There was something peculiar about his nead---something wanting.

What was it that was was his cars !

Theae is something awful in a man without his ears. It suggests some horrid drama—some terrible scene of cruel vengeance: it suggests the idea of crime committed and punishment in- flicted.

I might have had such painful im- aginings, but that I chanced to know why those ears were wanting. I remembered the man who was sitting before me ?

It seemed a dream, or rather the re- enactment of an old scene. Years be- fore, I had seen that individuai, and in a situation very similar. My eyes first rested upon him, seated as he was now, over a fire, roasting and eating. ‘The attitude was the same; the tout ensemble in no respect different. There was the same greasy catskin cap, the same scant leggings, the same brown buckskin cov- ering over the lanky frame. Perhaps neither shirt nor leggings had been taken off since I last sawthem. They ap- peared no dirtier, however ; that was not possible. Nor was it possible, having ence looked upon the wearer, ever to forget him. I remembered him at a glance—Reuben awling, or ‘old Rube,” as he was better known, one of the most celebrated of trappers. The young man was “ Bill,” Garey,” another mountain man, and old Ruabe’s partner and constant companion.

biy heart gladdened at the sight of these old acquaintances I now knew I was with friends.

I was about to call out to them, when my eye wandering beyond rested upon the group of horses, and what I saw startled me from my recumbent position. There was Rube’s old, blind, bare-ribbed, high-boned, long-eared mare-mustang.

Her lank grizzled body naked tail, aud mulish look, l remembered well. There. too, was the large powertul horse of Garey, and my own steed Moro picketed beside them! This was a joyful surprise to me, as he jad galloped off after his escape from the bear, and I had felt anxious about recovering him. But it was not the sight of Moro that caused me to start with astonishment; it was at the presence of another well-remem- bered animal—another herse. mistaken? Was it an illusion? Were my eyes or my fancy again mocking me? No! It was a reality. There was the! noble form, the graceful and symmetrical | outlines, the smooth coat of silver white. the flowing tail, the upright jetty ears— al! were before my eyes. It was he— the white steed of the prairies /
