Bob noticed that very rarely did he go down stream when he started off from the camp, but was headed in the general direction of the north.

"Struck my head on a limb."，"She held out her apron, an' I lefted the lid off the pail and pours what's in it into her lap.The travellers passed on; he righted his wheel and began his slow, painful way home. It was still cloudy and the welcome darkness setting in early, shrouded him as he slipped down the least public streets and alleys to his own side gate. He put his wheel away, fed his chickens,—though they had gone to roost,—went to the cellar and brought meat and milk for dog and cats, and reconnoitred the way to the Fo’castle.
