It was Howard Eliot who had called for Nell.，Once here, the Indian stopped and took an observation. An almost imperceptible grunt escaped him and, turning on his heel, he motioned Bob to follow.

Bob was soon to know the reason, however, for halfway down the hill the Indian spoke, not turning his head.“Why in the world should Nils lend you his blouse?”

"It's a long story," returned Maurice, lighting a fresh cigar. "Look here, Uncle Jen, I went to dress at half-past six; you did also. When we left the devil-stick was in the room on the wall.
