Dodge's companion had bidden him good-by as the engine started, and Jesse's task now became that of ferreting out Dodge's destination.
All night the light burned in his window, and I looked out across the sands to it and pictured the delight of the old man poring over the printed pages whereon his own life was portrayed. I wondered how he would like the ending the ending I had suggested. I was never to know. After breakfast I went over to Uncle Jesse's house, taking some little delicacy Mother had cooked for him.
Often and often when he was goin' from Jesse's I'd set him a bit on the road. 'See 'im 'ome, you mean? said Ortheris. 'Ay. It's a way we have i' Yorkshire o' seein' friends off.
Presently, as Alex had said, the dugout showed its nose around the bend. At-tick and Billy, Jesse's two friends, were on the tracking line, and in the stern of the dugout, doing most of the labor of getting up-stream, was an old, wrinkle-faced, gray-haired and gray-bearded man, old Picheu himself, in his time one of the most famous among the hunters of the Crees, as the boys later learned.
It was a similar reason which, in 1774, induced the Brunai Government to grant to the East India Company the monopoly of the trade in pepper, and is explained in Mr. JESSE'S letter to the Court of Directors as follows.

As it was, he died at the age of four hundred, and then a violent death, by the hand of the Moabite king, in whose care David, trusting in the ties of kinship between the Moabites and the seed of Ruth, left his family when he was fleeing before Saul. Jesse's piety will not go unrewarded. In the Messianic time he will be one of the eight princes to rule over the world.
Neither me nor my house is worth coming to see. It's only got one room and a loft and a stovepipe sticking out of the roof for a chimney. But I've got a few little things lying around that I picked up in the queer corners I used to be poking my nose into. Mebbe they'd interest you." Uncle Jesse's "few little things" turned out to be the most interesting collection of curios I had ever seen.
Nobody knows," he muttered doggedly and went on his way. A Tale in Four Parts There were always three or four old people sitting on the front porch of the house or puttering about the garden of the Bentley farm. Three of the old people were women and sisters to Jesse. They were a colorless, soft voiced lot. Then there was a silent old man with thin white hair who was Jesse's uncle.
