This would explain the huge ossuaries found in regions so widely separated. Although, however, the mode of sepulture we have just described was practised for a long time in certain places, we cannot admit it to have been general. In certain megalithic tombs we find dispositions similar to those described in speaking of the Gendron Cave.
Gendron and M. Plantat, who were watching him with the deepest attention, saw a triumphant light in his eyes. Doubtless he had just found a solution of the problem which had been put to him. "I understand," replied he, "and can explain Guespin's obstinate silence. I should be perfectly amazed if he decided to speak just now."
"What do you know about that money?" demanded Jack. At this the guerrilla closed one eye suggestively. "I know a whole lot, sonny." "Then you know what a rascal Dr. Mackey is? "I didn't allow as how he is a rascal, sonny." "Well, he is, and you know it. I can't see how he puts up with a fellow like you, though." This was said to draw Gendron on, and it had the desired effect.
He was respectful, and stood as stiffly as a well-drilled grenadier before his sergeant. "What the deuce brought you here?" said M. Lecoq, sternly. "And who dared to give you my address?" "Monsieur," said Goulard, visibly intimidated by his reception, "please excuse me; I was sent by Doctor Gendron with this letter for Monsieur Plantat."
He bowed to them gravely, as if he had not known them, and presenting to them a man of some sixty years who accompanied him: "Messieurs," said he, "this is Doctor Gendron." Papa Plantat shook hands with the doctor; the mayor smiled graciously at him, for Dr. Gendron was well-known in those parts; he was even celebrated, despite the nearness of Paris.
"A guerrilla we shot down." "Ha! who shot him?" "I did. He was trying to steal our horses." "Dr. Mackey, don't you know me?" came from the guerrilla. "Pete Gendron!" muttered the surgeon. "I never expected to see you here." "Nor did I calkerlate to see you, doc. But I'm mighty glad yer come. Ye kin git me out o' this fix." As he spoke, the guerrilla eyed Dr. Mackey sharply.
