He carried one of the best hunting-pieces made and plenty of ammunition. Taking a position in sight of the tent on the jungle side, he waited. Within half an hour a little puppy began to bark.

For several minutes there was silence.
He tapped her shoulder heartily, and his 'Ha! ha! rang in the night air. 'You never trust me, she whimpered from shaken nerves. He called her, 'Brave little woman! rare girl! 'But you never trust me!
