In front was Henry Ware, scanning the trail, telling with an infallible eye how old it was, where the enemy had lingered, and where he had hastened.
Mr.Pennypacker was there beside Paul Cotter.

A man of peace he was, but when war came he never failed to take his part in it.
"Do you know him ?" he asked of Paul, nodding toward Henry.
Paul understood.
"No," he replied, "I do not.

He used to be my old partner, Henry Ware, but he's another now." "Yes, he's changed," said the master, "but I am not surprised.

I foresaw it long ago, if the circumstances came right." On the second morning they were joined by the men from Marlowe who had been traveling up one side of a triangle, while the men of Wareville had been traveling up the other side, until they met at the point.

Their members were now raised to a hundred and fifty, and, uttering one shout of joy, the united forces plunged forward on the trail with renewed zeal.
They were in dense forest, in a region scarcely known even to the hunters, full of little valleys and narrow deep streams.
