But what was stranger'n thet Bill swore she had four cubs with her an' each of them had a keg on its tail." We all roared with laughter except Romer. His interest had been so all-absorbing, his excitement so great, and his faith in the story-teller so reverential that at first he could not grasp the trick at the end of the story.

After they had finished their meal the cubs lay down, licking the spots of fresh blood which were left on their noses and paws, and giving funny little growls at the reminiscences of the feast. But Tera was uneasy about the beaters, and, having had her evening meal, she did not go out again that night. She was restless and unsettled, and kept a sharp lookout until the early morning.
Cookee was ready to move on with the men, and the two families finished packing and were ready to start back to civilization early Tuesday morning. The cubs were shipped off Monday morning with the trunks. Mike almost cried as he said good-bye to the children, but he had had a fine winter's income, and the sale of the cubs would give him enough money to keep him with care, in old age.
