I took the bridle, while Sam went to procure a
torch, and after he had gathered up the fai;rots

a torch in one hand, while I walked by his side.
It was only necessary for us to go a. short dis

This explanation was perfectly satisfactory, so

but saw no eyes.
" Never mind,"- suid ho, ' we'll find 'em, you

We moved on carefully and Sam made his ob

We had wnudered alxiut for several hours, and
the skv which had not been' the clearest in the
commencement, now began lo assume the apiiear
mice of rain. I had more than once suggested
the propriety of goiifg home. But Sam was not

let lue see how lo shine the eyes of a buck. We
searched on as before, for another half hour, and
I was ubout to express my determination to go

- " Stop, stop," said he ; " thar's eyes, and whop
pers they is too ; now. hold still.

' heared tho click of the lock Sam sloou lor a mo-

old -musket blazed forth with a thundering report

So soon as he had recovered from the shock, we

By this time iTIiad commenced to rain, and we
were anxious to get home, but Sam had dropped
bis guo and paivaa the iwfuL truth Jlashed upon
. him. that he had killed the only mute he possessed
1 in tha world, and we now fouod it difficult to re
cover them. After searching about for near au
hour in the drizzling rain, Sara chanced to come
upon the spot, and having regained his gua and
' oan, we endeavored to strike a fire ; all effort, how
: ever. to produce a light, proved inefiociual, and we
