“What boy?”
“Julius.”
“Give it to me, quick,” said Mr. Taylor.
“Read it out loud,” said Abner, almost equally interested.
Mr. Taylor read:
“I am with Carrie and the Indian. He is leading us into the middle of the wood. I will drop pieces of paper here and there on the way.”
“Bully for Julius!” said Abner. “We’ve got the Indian now, sure.”
“I am glad he is with Carrie. She would be so frightened,” said Mr. Taylor.
“That’s true. She thinks a heap of Julius.”{192}
“He is a good boy—quick-witted, too, or he wouldn’t have thought of the paper.”
