Linna had succeeded to perfection. "Who would have thought it possible for one so young as she to learn the trick?" Ben asked himself. "I have tried it many a time without the bone, but never could do it." He looked at her admiringly, and was certain she was the smartest girl he had ever seen.
He told her that he had a little girl that he called Linna, about the same age as Alice. Upon hearing this, what did Alice do, but climb upon the warrior's knee and ask him to tell her all about Linna. Well, the result was, that an affection was formed between this wild warrior and the gentle little girl.
"Unless Linna will jump in and haul them out for us. But if we are to continue our journey, we must find some way of getting to the other side; it is too deep and wide to ford or jump." "It must be narrower in other places." "Oh! look mamma!" It was Alice who first saw a terrifying sight.
She landed, however, so near the water that had not the watchful Linna caught one of the hands thrown up to save herself, she would have fallen back in the stream. Mother and son imitated them, and all stood on the other side of the obstruction without having suffered any inconvenience.
"Omas, when you were here the other day, you promised that the next time you came to see me you would bring Linna." "Dat so Omas promise." "Then why haven't you done as you said?" "Omas never speak with double tongue; he bring Linna with him." "You did? where is she?" asked Alice, springing to her feet, clasping her hands, and looking expectantly around.
Exhausted as he was, his condition was too nervous to permit slumber. His mother had said she thought the end was at hand, and he believed the same. She was but a few feet away, sitting more erect on the tree, with Alice leaning against her. The eyes of all were turned toward the point where Linna had vanished, and whence she was expected every minute to come into view again. She was not far off.
"Then, being so much nearer, it was the report which brought them. What would become of us but for Linna?" added Ben placing his arm affectionately around her. "It was she that got us our supper, and now she warns us of danger." "They may be Zitner and Burwink." "Not likely, but if they come to our fire we shall soon find out. Look!"
