Weasel Heart saw that lodge too—the yellow-painted-buffalo lodge.,An old crone is sitting over a turf fire that glows and burns dimly in its subdued fashion. Hanging over it is a three-legged pot, in which boil the "praties" for the "boys'" dinners, who will be coming home presently from their work.,"Gosh!" whispered Billy.
