Yan did not mean to tell his adventure that night, but his excitement was evident, and they soon got it out of him in full. They were a weird-looking crowd as they sat around the flickering fire, experiencing as he told it no small measure of the scare he had just been through.
When he had finished Yan said, "Now, Guy, don't you want to go and try it?"
"Oh, quit," said Guy; "I never saw such a feller as you for yammering away on the same subjek."
Caleb looked at his watch now, as though about to leave, when Yan said:
"Say, Mr. Clark, won't you sleep here? There's lots o' room in Guy's bed."
"Don't mind if I do, seem' it's late."
