Cad finally called a halt.
"I reckon we'll go in here," he said.
"Going to leave a bag here?" asked Polly.
"Sure. Here you, Perkins, catch bold of the bag."
"What do I do?" asked Walter.
"Wait; I'll show you."
Morgan very carefully lighted a candle and stuck it into the ground, packing the dirt about it with his knife.
"Now you hold the bag open. Don't move. Don't jump if you see a 'possum light into the bag. You see the light draws them. It hypnotizes them and they jump right into the light. That means they jump into the bag. The minute one hops in all you have to do is to close the bag, sling it over your shoulder and hike back to camp with it."
"That's easy. I could catch 'possums myself if that's all a fellow has to do," declared Stacy.
"It'll be your turn next, Fatty."
