A DAY IN THE CAVE.
Meanwhile Ernest was left in the cave with Frank. He had been brought in blindfolded, and was therefore ignorant as to the entrance or exit. He thought he might, without arousing the boy's suspicion, seek information from him on these points.
"Are there many rooms here, Frank?" he asked.
"Oh, a good many," answered the boy.
"Have you been in many?"
"I have been around with papa."
"I should like to go round," said Ernest. "Suppose we take a little walk."
"I'll go with you. I should be afraid to go alone."
"Does Juba ever go out?"
"Yes; she sometimes goes out to get things."
