Yellett, squatting erect on the prairie, crowned by her rabbit-skin cap. Mary and Judith, with bland, impassive expressions, noted the effect of the mandate.

"You infernal villain!" cried the Admiral, raising his stick. "You brute and blackguard!" "Garn!" growled the rough, with the deep rasping intonation of a savage.

He may have fallen in the water! Oh, hurry!" They were off in a moment, shouting into the dark passages of the outer cave: "Willie! Willie!" There was agonized anxiety in their voices. And then in a moment, as it seemed, they were back again, with Willie in their arms, blubbering, his rabbit-skin all wet. "Goodness gracious!" said the Cave-woman.

"Ye cudn't see it in a month ov Easther Sundays, aanyway," he retorted with a superior toss of his head.
She entered the cave as she spoke a big-boned woman in a suit of skins leading by the hand a pathetic little mite in a rabbit-skin, with blue eyes and a slobbered face. But as I was sitting the Cave-woman evidently couldn't see me; for she turned at once to speak to her husband, unconscious of my presence. "Well, of all the idle creatures!" she exclaimed.
