His face was quite pale, and his hands trembled in spite of his efforts to control himself.，Billy followed slowly, hoping, fearing, trusting that Croaker's intentions were of the best. The crow was carrying on a murmured conversation with himself, flapping his wings, nodding his head sagely and in other ways manifesting his eagerness to accommodate his master. When he grew tired of walking he flew and Billy had to run to keep him in sight. Straight through the grove, across the green valley and on through the stumpy fallow went the crow, Billy panting and perspiring behind. Straight on to the pine-hedged creek and still on, until the lonely pine grove of the haunted house came into view.At the very depth of the Canyon Bob suddenly realized what the Reclamation Service had to contend with.

"Then what have you done to find out what has become of her?",'On recovering I called wildly for my children, and went to the window—but you were gone!
