At
the
edge
of
the
clearing
he
came
into
the
bright
moonlight
and
there
sat
McLean
on
his
mare
.
Freckles
hurried
to
him
.
“
Is
there
trouble
?
”
he
inquired
anxiously
.
“
That
’
s
what
I
wanted
to
ask
you
,
”
said
the
Boss
.
“
I
stopped
at
the
cabin
to
see
you
a
minute
,
before
I
turned
in
,
and
they
said
you
had
come
down
here
.
You
must
not
do
it
,
Freckles
.
The
swamp
is
none
too
healthful
at
any
time
,
and
at
night
it
is
rank
poison
.
”
Freckles
stood
combing
his
fingers
through
Nellie
’
s
mane
,
while
the
dainty
creature
was
twisting
her
head
for
his
caresses
.
He
pushed
back
his
hat
and
looked
into
McLean
’
s
face
.
“
It
’
s
come
to
the
’
sleep
with
one
eye
open
,
’
sir
.
I
’
m
not
looking
for
anything
to
be
happening
for
a
week
or
two
,
but
it
’
s
bound
to
come
,
and
soon
.
If
I
’
m
to
keep
me
trust
as
I
’
ve
promised
you
and
meself
,
I
’
ve
to
live
here
mostly
until
the
gang
comes
.
You
must
be
knowing
that
,
sir
.
”
“
I
’
m
afraid
it
’
s
true
,
Freckles
,
”
said
McLean
.
“
And
I
’
ve
decided
to
double
the
guard
until
we
come
.
It
will
be
only
a
few
weeks
,
now
;
and
I
’
m
so
anxious
for
you
that
you
must
not
be
left
alone
further
.
If
anything
should
happen
to
you
,
Freckles
,
it
would
spoil
one
of
the
very
dearest
plans
of
my
life
.
”
Freckles
heard
with
dismay
the
proposition
to
place
a
second
guard
.
“
Oh
!
no
,
no
,
Mr
.
McLean
,
”
he
cried
.
“
Not
for
the
world
!
I
wouldn
’
t
be
having
a
stranger
around
,
scaring
me
birds
and
tramping
up
me
study
,
and
disturbing
all
me
ways
,
for
any
money
!
I
am
all
the
guard
you
need
!
I
will
be
faithful
!
I
will
turn
over
the
lease
with
no
tree
missing
—
on
me
life
,
I
will
!
Oh
,
don
’
t
be
sending
another
man
to
set
them
saying
I
turned
coward
and
asked
for
help
.
It
will
just
kill
the
honor
of
me
heart
if
you
do
it
.
The
only
thing
I
want
is
another
gun
.
If
it
railly
comes
to
trouble
,
six
cartridges
ain
’
t
many
,
and
you
know
I
am
slow
-
like
about
reloading
.
”
McLean
reached
into
his
hip
pocket
and
handed
a
shining
big
revolver
to
Freckles
,
who
slipped
it
beside
the
one
already
in
his
belt
.
Then
the
Boss
sat
brooding
.
“
Freckles
,
”
he
said
at
last
,
“
we
never
know
the
timber
of
a
man
’
s
soul
until
something
cuts
into
him
deeply
and
brings
the
grain
out
strong
.
You
’
ve
the
making
of
a
mighty
fine
piece
of
furniture
,
my
boy
,
and
you
shall
have
your
own
way
these
few
weeks
yet
