"Did you take notice of the particulars concerning it?" said Fellows.
"No, I did not; except that the owner is returning to the Old Country, and wants to sell."
"Well, it might be worth while to inquire about it."
"Yes, I'll do so," replied Ranger.
When the work of the day was over, Fellows lost no time in visiting Jessie at her father's shanty to acquaint her with the receipt of his telegram, in order to relieve her of all fears with regard to the possibility of his being arrested.
The way in which this was likely to affect his future was a question very naturally presenting itself.
"I suppose you will want to return home?" she asked, with just a suspicion of anxiety in her voice.
"No, I think not, Jessie."
"But if your mother desires it?"
"I shall wait and see what she says, but I don't think it will make much difference."
