The man's foot was on the wheel; in another instant he would be beside Jeff, and discovery was certain. Jeff leaned over and unhooked the coach lamp, as if to assist him with its light.

Take the team. We're just naturally froze solid at least I am. This is Mr. Stacey, the new teacher." "How de do? Run in; I'll take the horses." Herman and Wallace stumbled toward the house, stiff and bent. Herman flung his arms about a tall woman in the kitchen door. "Hello, muz!" he said. "This is Mr. Stacey, the new teacher."

But from the spot he had just vacated came the same voice again. "You no shoot, sar. You shoot fren's, dat's all. Go back." "I go back when I see what this humbug means. I'll shoot man or animal that runs across my bows!" Barry stumbled forward, and again the subtle rustling surrounded him, but no voice now. The sound seemed to vibrate and run before him, yet faster than he could travel afoot.

Williams and his friends had gone into the bush, Harris in front, Cunningham next, and Williams last. Suddenly Harris, who had disappeared in the bush, rushed out followed by yelling savages with clubs. Harris rushed down the bank of the brook, stumbled, and fell in.
"Why, they've put you into a tenpin alley," were his words of greeting. With a laugh Dan sprang up from his chair beside the window. "What on earth are you doing here, old man?" he asked. "Well, just at present I'm trying to pull you out of the hole you've stumbled into. I say, in the name of all that's rational, why did you allow yourself to get into such a scrape?"
