As the man sat there by the wallow, trying to think what he might do to find his daughter, a magpie came up and alighted on the ground near him. The man spoke to it, saying, "Măm-ī-ăt´sī-kĭmĭ—Magpie—you are a beautiful bird; help me, for I am very unhappy.

He smells of gasoline! Where has he been, do you suppose, mother?”，"The poor fellow is calling for you, Mona, incessantly," he says. "It remains with you to decide whether you will go to him or not.

He told me that he had sold it to a lumber company. He says there'll be a big camp of cutters and sawyers down here this winter.
