Up about right. Wen attend to him. "
The girl returned to the cave, but al

appeared to be very intent upon his
work. washing away as long as he could
see that night.
Supper was the only meal they all ate
together. and when it was finished the
friend, held short consultation, and
made certain arrangements in thecaye.
When they were completed the tired
men threw themselves on their beds of
