As my old readers know, Jed Sanborn knew all about wild animals and just how to trail them, and the young hunters followed his directions readily. "Be sure your guns are in prime condition and loaded," said Jed. "And as we may be out until nightfall, better take a lunch with you." "We have it, in our gamebags," answered the doctor's son. "Good enough."
Veronique saw, as she entered, two beds, a large walnut wardrobe, a bread-box, dresser, table, three chairs, and on the dresser a few brown earthenware dishes and other utensils necessary to life. Above the fireplace were two guns and two gamebags.
"This is better luck than I anticipated," said Giant. "Now we must clean the guns without delay." The entire evening was spent in overhauling and oiling the guns, and in drying out the gamebags. They also dressed one of the deer, hanging up the meat as before. The Spink crowd had taken the smallest of the game and for this they were to pay regular market prices.
This the survivors frequently do when very tame, instead of taking wing. Thus it was that Hamilton, to his immense delight, made such a successful shot without being aware of it. Having bagged their game, the party proceeded on their way. Several large flocks of birds were raised, and the gamebags nearly filled, before reaching the spot where they intended to turn and bend their steps homewards.
"Must have been hit before she came this way," said Giant. As the young hunters surrounded the game they did not notice the approach of three men on snow-shoes, all carrying guns and gamebags. The three men were Andrew Felps and two of his particular friends, Giles Faswig and Vance Lemon. "Hi! what are you doing here?" demanded Andrew Felps, striding up angrily.
I must own it, Jerry and I very soon forgot the awe-inspiring thoughts which had passed through our minds while we expected so soon to be called into eternity. Our chief concern was, having lost our guns and gamebags.
