A hard crust had formed during the night; and moccasin tracks, leading up to the wood, and then pointing away again, were cast in it with frozen clearness. "That poor Indian!" she had exclaimed, in grateful relief. Not once after his summoning before Colonel Cummings had The Squaw forgotten daily to leave firewood at the shack.
Carrie asked her if she could come in on Wednesday next with her brother to meet a few friends. She replied that she would only be too pleased. November 13. Carrie sent out invitations to Gowing, the Cummings, to Mr. and Mrs. Stillbrook. I wrote a note to Mr. Franching, of Peckham.

"Jim can tell you every word I've told you and a lot more and there should be some way of using it to aid him. I don't know how, but there should be some way. If he told everything to the district attorney here, don't you think it might help him a little? You see, Cummings wants him sent back to New York as soon as possible so he won't start talking.
It was nearly the middle of the forenoon next day when I got to my desk and found it piled high with mail that had accumulated in my absence.
