One of the men was dressed as a trapper, although he did not look
the part. He was tall and angular, with sharp features and keen
black eyes.
His companion was shorter, but equally slender. His eye orbits
were small and oval in shape, his face was a dusky brown, and there
was, somehow, about the man an atmosphere of the Orient.
While the four people glared at each other a step was heard in the
narrow entrance, and in a moment Antoine's face was clearly
outlined against the narrow slit of light.
The trapper took in the group at one quick glance, and, turning in
his tracks, fled precipitately down the slope. Without speaking a
word, the two men who had been found in the cavern, turned and
followed him.
"Now what do you think of that?" demanded Tommy.
CHAPTER XVII
"BOYS UP A TREE!"
When Thede returned to the cabin with numerous squirrels, rabbits
and ducks, Sandy greeted him with a shout of joy.
"This will seem like living in the north woods!" he cried. "We'll
have all kinds of game from this time on!"
"You bet we will!" replied Thede. "I'm some hungry myself, when it
comes to that! I guess I can get a few!"
"You never shot all these!" Sandy doubted, poking the squirrels and
rabbits about with a finger.
