Mother, see here.”,"Yes, I know it," says Geoffrey.，CHAPTER II. THE ASHANTEE DEVIL-STICK.，“Why—it—it came so.”，Over beside the table, Mrs. Wilson watched him from somber eyes.At first glance there seemed nothing amiss. To Bob’s untrained eye, the shadows that lay heavily in the dark of the night were only scrub pine and underbrush. But as he looked these shadows took form and substance. They were men, sitting or lying relaxed, in attitudes of waiting. A faint nicker and trampling of hoofs told that horses were hobbled in the vicinity.

"We planned it all out. You're to stay here and begin to be at home right off.
