He is as feeble and as helpless as one of those old bulls one sees on the sunny side of the coulée, spending his last days before the wolves pull him down." "Do you distrust me?" says Rodney,—this time really hurt, because his love for her is in reality deep and strong and thorough. No one seconds this rash opinion. There is a profound silence.
