That little play you made with my gun showed that you've got hoss sense and ain't overlooking any bets, and it may be that I'll have use for yuh before long. Now listen."

"Yes," said Mrs. Cathcart. "Wandering?" "Dreadfully." After some more whispering, the doctor sat down to write a prescription. But meantime, Adela was busy writing another.

It was this fact that gave the Hunters of the Ozark so much confidence in themselves when they went on their long hunts, though, as you have learned, danger did sometimes come from the wandering Indians, the father of Terry Clark having lost his life at their hands. All this being known to the boys, they had cause to wonder how it was that an Indian canoe lay hidden under the bushes on the shore.
