“Feather-in-the-Wind!” gasped Bob. “You back?” “Heat lightning, I guess,” returned the other, but before the words were out of his mouth the same phenomenon occurred and this time he saw it. “About what umbrella?” asked Tellef’s mother. “Won’t be much chance,” put in Bob, “if they’ve been to the hut. But if they were going to leave me there without food or water, perhaps you can get ’em.”.
