“Where?” asked Glenn.
“At the cave-spring.”
“Well, what made you leave them there?”
“Just get off my back and I’ll tell you. I’m getting over it now; I’m going to be mad instead of frightened,” said Joe, with real composure.
“Get up, then; but I won’t trust you yet. You must still suffer me to hold your collar,” said Glenn.
“If you go to the cave-spring you will see a sight!”
“What kind of a sight?”
“Such a sight as I never dreamed of before!”
“Then it has been nothing but a dream this time, after all your foolery?”
“No, I’ll be shot if there was any dreaming about it,” replied Joe; and he related every thing up to the horrid discovery which caused him to retreat so precipitately, and then paused, as if dreading to revert to the subject.
