At that moment a man came out from a cluster of bushes into the road or horse-puth, on the other side of the stream. This man was dressed like a hunter, and carried a rifle on his shoulder. « In his general appearance there waa nothing that indicated hoatility or a wicked design. He was of medium size, compactly built, with Intellectual fcatiircs and a certain air of gcntility sceming rather as one abroad from some settlement for a day's eport than a lyufcraional hunter. All -this the mounted traveler carefully noted before he crossed the stryasi to ebdtlnne his ' Journey, and when they came near to- i gcthcr a pleasant salutation was ex- i changed. , " Fine weather for traveling, air!" i remarked the man with the gun.
