He sat down in it and called the two children and the dog, who all gathered around him for their share of his caresses. And at the same moment Reuben, having dispatched Sam on his errand to Shelton, came in and sat down, with his big hands on his knees, and his head bent forward, contemplating the group around Ishmael with immense satisfaction.
"Did you hear what she said to the man?" I inquired, and my mouth was dry. "On'y a bit of it. She says, says she: 'Who is that man wit' a French beard the young man in his shirt-sleeves? The felly she t'rowed this into was one o' the kid-gloves, and he didn't know. So he went to Shelton, who was showin' the crowd around on the job.
Molly confessed to much the same feeling and declared that she would be glad when the first meeting was over and they were all acquainted. Then she undertook to show Polly more of her favorite haunts and it was suppertime before they had begun to see all they wished to. The next week Mary arrived with Mrs. Shelton who remained but a short time before she resumed her journey.
What a pity that George and Victor Shelton could not have peeped out from some concealment. They would have remembered the picture all their lives. Only by this grotesque exercise could the young Shawanoe find vent for his overflowing spirits. There is nothing in all the world that can take the place of physical vigor and health a truth which unnumbered thousands do not realize until too late.

Shelton was not anxious to explain his views, and he did not reply. His friend repeated: "Why don't you think we're doing good in India?" "Well," said Shelton gruffly, "how can progress be imposed on nations from outside?" The Indian civilian, glancing at Shelton in an affectionate and doubtful way, replied: "You have n't changed a bit, old chap."
When five Indian youths invited their guests to go on a hunt the boys took their rifles, but their hosts carried only bows and arrows. On the return of the tired party at nightfall they brought the choice portions of three antelopes, two of which were slain by the youthful Blackfeet, while the one that George Shelton had brought down received also an effective thrust from an arrow.
"Why, master," answered Lawless, "if ever a man had an ill crew to come to port with, it is I a renegade friar, a thief, and all the rest on't. Well, ye may wonder, but I keep a good hope in my wallet; and if that I be to drown, I will drown with a bright eye, Master Shelton, and a steady hand."
