The meat was soon gathered up; and Basil, who though somewhat chagrined was still confident of his plan, once more looped it in the lasso, and pulleyed it up. This time, however, he tied the end of his rope to the high branch of a tree; and as the wolves are not tree-climbers, all felt certain that, cunning as these creatures are, they could not reach it thus secured.
Instantly, the decorated window-shade pulleyed up to allow more light to shine into the room. "Now Ah see how that wu'ks!" cried Sary, delightedly. Mrs. Brewster turned with a questioning look in her eyes. Sary explained. "Cal Lorrimer tol' me like-es-how them winder shades wu'ked but Ah jest coulden' see it." Mrs. Brewster laughed and Sary ventured to pulley the shade herself.
He now pulleyed up the meat until it was ten feet or more from the ground and then fastened his rope to a log. "Now, gentlemen," muttered he, fancifully addressing the wolves, "you may prowl about and howl till your throats are sore, but you don't keep me five minutes longer from my rest that you don't." So saying, he laid himself down, and commenced wrapping himself in his blankets.
