They did not believe that Moody or his son were within a mile of them, but when Mr. Hardy suddenly walked out from a little clump of trees, a bullet whizzed past him and lodged in the trunk of a hickory.

The shot was immediately fol- lowed by another, and then Mr. Hardy heard one of the trappers say; ‘T think they are done for.”
