"Dozier knows you're with us," added Larry la Roche, and he cast a long glance of hatred at Andrew.
The canyon was about fifty yards wide and it headed under the great slope of Navajo Mountain. These smooth, rounded walls appeared to end at its low rim. Shefford slid down upon a grassy bank, and finding the tracks of the horses, he followed them. They led along the wall. As soon as he had assured himself that Nas Ta Bega had gone down the canyon he abandoned the tracks and pushed ahead swiftly.

The marks where he slid down are to be seen yet, and the place is known to all people as the "Old Man's Sliding Ground." This is as far as the Blackfeet followed Old Man. The Crees know what he did further north.

Emily took a seat near the window, and drawing her work-table towards her, raised the lid. This presenting another opening for baby, she slid down from her mother's lap, and hastened towards her.
