If the hut was remarkable, Its proprietor
was still more so. He wan, I think, the
most villainous-looking man I ever beheld.
About six feet two inches in height, pro
portionately broad across the shoulders, and
with A hand large enough to pick up a
fifty-six pound shot, he seemed to be a com
btnation of extraordinary strength and
nglllty. His head was narrow and oblong
in shape. His straight, Indian like hair fell
smoothly oAer his low forehead, as if it had
been pl.istered with soap, and his black,
bead-liko eyes were set obliquely and slant
ed downwards towards his nose, giving him
a iiimulpd expression ol lerocily mm din
ing. As I examined his features attentive
ly, In which I thought I could trace almost
very bad iaion I confess I experienced a
certain feeling of apprehension and distrust
I could not shake nil'.
Whll" ho was gi ,'ng s the promised
food we tried, by questioning him, to draw
him into conversation, lie seemed very
taciturn and reserved, he said he lived en-
irely alone, and hud cleared the "pot he oc
cupied willi his own hands. Ho said his
nunc was duel J but when wo hinted that he
mut havo soino other name he pretended
not to hear lis, though I saw his brows knit
and his small black eyes fi.ish angrily
My su.ilcions nf this man were further
amused by observing a pair of shoes lying
in a corner of the hut. These shoes were at
least three sizes smaller than those that our
gigantic host wore, and yet he ad distinctly,
replied that ho lived entirely alone. If
those shoes were not his, whose were they ?
The more I reflected on this circumstance
the more uneasy I felt, and apprehensions
were still further aroused when Joel, as he
called himelf, took both our fowling-plecea
and, In order to have them out of the way,
as he said, hung them on crooks from the
wall, at a height that neither Dick nor I
could reach without getting on a stool
smiled inwardly, however, as I felt the
smooth barrel of my revolver, that was slutn
in the uoilow ot my back by its leathern
belt, and thought to myself, if this fellow
has bad designs, the more unprotected he
thinks us the more incautious he will be ; so
I made no effort to retain our guns. Dick
also had a revolver, and was one of thoso
men whom I knew would use it well when
the tinio came.
My suspicions of our host grew at last to
such a pitch that I determined to communi
cate them to Dick, Nothing would be
easier than for this villainous half-breed
for I felt convinced that ho had Indian blood
in him nothing would be easier than, with
the aid of an accomplice, to cut our throats
or shoot us while we were asleep, and so get
our guns, watches, and whatever money we
carried. Who in these lonely woods would
hear the shot, or hear our cries for help T
What emissary of the law, however sharp,
could point out our graves in thtss wild
woods, nr bring the murder home to those
who committed it? Linton at first laughed,
then grew serious, and gradually became a
convert to apprehensions. We hurriedly
the more I reflected on tho conduct of tho
half breed, th more assured I was that he
Intended to murder. Full of this idea I took
my revolver from Its sling and held it in ray
band ready to shoot him down at the first
movement that appeared at all dangerous.
A haze seemed now to pass across my eyes.
Fatigued with long watchfulness and ex
citement, I passed into that semi-conscious
state in which I seemed perfectly aware of
everything that passed, although objects
were dull and dim in outline, and did not
appear to sharply defined as In one's waking
moments. I was apparently aroused from
this state by a slight crackling sound, I
started, and raised myself on my elbow. My
heart ceased to heat at what I saw. The
half-breed had lit some species of dried herb,
which sent out a strong aromatic odor as it
burned. This herb he was holding directly
under Dick's nostrils, who, I now peceived
to my horror wis wrapped in a profound
slumber. Tlio smoke of the mysterious herb
appcaredjto deprive hiinnf all consciousness,
fur he rollel gently ofl'the pine log, and lay
stretched upon the floor. The half-breed
now stole to the door and opened it gently.
Three sinister heads peered in out of the
gloom. I saw the long barrels of rifles and
tho huge, brawny hands that clasped them.
The half breed pointed significantly to
where I lay with his long bony finper, then
drawing a large thirsty looking knife from
bis breast, moved toward me. The time was
come. Mv blood stopped my h art ceased
to beat. The half breed was within a foot
of my bed; the knife was raised ; another
instant it would have been burled in my

A reporter of the Sun learned of n gen

him, and received the following account of
the interview .-
