That one word alone Philip had not intended that she should hear. But when it was out he picked himself up and laughed. He did not meddle with Jean's cook-fire, but he built a second fire where the cheer of it would light up Josephine's tent, and piled dry logs on it until the flame of it lighted up the gloom about them for a hundred feet.
He brought wood for their cook-fire which they used only in the middle of the day a time when there was little likelihood of Wieroos being in the air so far from their city and then he learned to bank it with earth in such a way that the embers held until the following noon without giving off smoke.
A cold spring bubbled from the base of a rocky formation which overhung and partially encircled a small inclosure. At Bradley's command, the men took up the duties assigned them gathering wood, building a cook-fire and preparing the evening meal. It was while they were thus engaged that Brady's attention was attracted by the dismal flapping of huge wings.
"Did you find what you expected?" asked Grace. "Yes. I'll tell you about it as soon as we make camp." "How's the water?" called Hippy. "There isn't a drop in the tank, Lieutenant. Ping, you will give the ponies about a quart apiece from our supply, no more. We will stake down now." Camp was quickly made and the bacon was frying over a small, flickering cook-fire a few moments afterward.
Boys laugh and shout, a feeble flute stirs somewhere in some tent, not an officer's, a drum throbs far away in another, wild kildeer-plover flit and wail above us, like the haunting souls of dead slave-masters, and from a neighboring cook-fire comes the monotonous sound of that strange festival, half pow-wow, half prayer-meeting, which they know only as a "shout."
He was not the foreman, but the man who took the place of foreman when the real foreman was too drunk the hungriest man of all, and so oftenest near the cook-fire. When I had told him, he took me to a township where a lawyer was, and the lawyer drew up a document, which I signed. "Then the sportman his name was Larry Atkins, I remember took that document and went to draw the money on my behalf.
Fires built in these are generally used as social cheer-fires, but you can have the cheer-fire even though the substantial fireplace be non est, if in the evening you pile more wood on the cook-fire, making it large enough for all to gather around and have a good time, telling stories, laughing, talking, and singing. An excellent rule in camp is to have always on hand plenty of fire-wood.
