“There are three men there whom I hate. I will give a reward to get their scalps.”
“Who are they, sir?”
“One is Lieutenant Worth, who has been a persistent foe of my band of Red Riders; one is Buffalo Bill, and the other is Sergeant Fallon.”
“I know them all, sir.”
“They have both been strong allies to wipe me out, and here I am a fugitive to-day with no men left, and must begin life anew to gain both gold and revenge. But I am not dead yet, and I will have both.”
“You are right, Captain Eagle,” said the sergeant.
“May I ask your name, my friend?”
“My name is Louis, sir.”
“What position do you hold under Colonel Carr?”
“I am in the ordnance department, but hold only an inferior position.”
