Dancing there, he snorted his distrust and alarm. But Frank plucked up new hope. He at the same time saw something else that gave another aspect to the case. Jerry was not to be left alone to his fate. "Hurrah for Mr. Mabie!" In his excitement Frank let out this shout.
Frank saw immediately what the stockman had in mind. These things mentioned by Bluff could never have happened without leaving some tangible traces behind. Where a big elk had been slain there must be signs of the blood that had flowed. "Look here, and see for yourself, Jerry." And Mr. Mabie pointed to the ground at his feet.
Soon her husband came down and walked about the room with a new light in his eyes. Early in April the book was issued in an edition of 5,000 copies; this was soon exhausted, and Hawthorne was well started on that career of literary fame which led Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie, a hundred years after the birth of Hawthorne, to call him "the foremost literary artist of America."
What was it a crow or a jack-rabbit?" Bluff only smiled as Mr. Mabie came out of the tent and glanced at him. "What would you say that was, sir?" he asked, thrusting something in front of the old stockman. Starting back, Mr. Mabie looked hastily at the hairy object. "An elk's tail, as sure as you live!" he remarked, his face relaxing in a smile. "What's that?" roared Jerry, springing to his feet.
They waited until the cowboy joined the circle about the tree. "Boats, Reddy?" asked Mr. Mabie. "Three. Must have carried around the falls without our knowing it. Hung about here, waiting to steal something from our camp. Had a snare set for jack-rabbits. Saw some torn skins in the camp," was what the cowboy replied, in his jerky way. "Oh!
Hamilton Mabie says that "tastes depend very largely on the standards with which we are familiar," and if these standards are acquired hit and miss, without training, they are likely to be of a most doubtful character.
"Well, all I can say is, I'm not hankering after any forest fire experience after what Mr. Mabie told us about those friends of his who were nearly burned to death seven years ago; and that was a prairie fire, too," observed Will, continuing to cast anxious glances around. "Amen to that," remarked Bluff.
I've noticed that somehow we seem to stir up things wherever we go; not that we mean to have things happen, but they just pick out such a time to play hob," said Jerry, shaking his head as if thoroughly convinced. "Here comes Mr. Mabie, hurrying this way!" declared Bluff, beginning to forget his other anxiety for the time being in this new mystery.
His footwear must be moccasins. "H'm!" remarked Mr. Mabie. "Just what I suspected. The thieving Crees have robbed our young friend of his prize. Too bad! But there are more elk around, Bluff, and I hope you'll have other chances." "But that one chased me so hard I wanted revenge. I calculated on eating a bit of his flank for my dinner.
During the night some of them declared they heard strange cries off in the woods, which Mr. Mabie said must have been the whining of the panther cubs, looking in vain for their mother. Frank was distressed. "I hope they're really big enough to forage for themselves. If there's anything I dislike it's to shoot bird or beast that has young depending upon it.
