The childish enthusiasm was so inspiriting, so heedless, so lost to everything but the sheer delight of existence. While he stood there the rope was made secure and the squaw's efforts ceased. Instantly the scene changed. The high spirits of the boy sought to forestall the next move.
"Why, yes; I made shift that a servant should throw down a bag with ten pounds in it, into a bush, and that Brittlebank your brother's man should see him do it!
