"Etwald carries it on his watch chain. I saw him the other day in prison and he showed it to me. A common little black stone it is, but Dido would kill him with pleasure to get it." Patricia gasped, and in the moment's silence that fell she gave the promising authoress a little shake.

Now watchers might be hidden anywhere, looking for the approach of enemies, ready to raise a cry to warn the camp. Each bush or clump of rye grass or willow thicket might hide an enemy. Very slowly, looking and listening, Mīka´pi crept around the outskirts of the camp. He made no noise, he did not show himself. Presently he heard some one clear his throat and then a cough, and a little bush moved. Here was a watcher. Could he kill him and get away?

He gave a loud cry and tried to run, but another arrow struck him, and he fell.

"Do you think that someone has stolen the stick, Maurice?" said the major. "Someone from outside, I mean.".
