After taking a sip of the brandy Cameron again opened his eyes and managed to say "Don't--" "All right, old chap," said the doctor.

"We won't move you yet.

Just lie still a bit." But as once more Cameron opened his eyes the agony of the appeal in them aroused the doctor's attention.

"Something wrong, eh ?" he said.

"Are you in pain, old boy ?" The appealing eyes closed, then, opening again, turned toward the Superintendent.
"Copperhead," he whispered.
"What do you say ?" said the Superintendent kneeling down.
Once more with painful effort Cameron managed to utter the word "Copperhead." "Copperhead!" ejaculated the Superintendent in a low tense voice, springing to his feet and turning toward the unconscious Indian.
