The boy said that he did not sleep any. but the man slept with the revolver within easy reach. The next morning the walking was continued.

 school until he was 14 years old, but only reached the fifth grade. The boys brother l said that the boy who had the adventure was very much frightened in the dark and seldom went anywhere alone He
 was with him at the lake but lost him and did not see him until he reached home
 shortly after noon the following day. He

 see if they can find anything to corrob-
 crate the strange tale.
