"I'm ready, for one," said Bradley, rising with, alacrity. "I'm powerful sleepy."
"Come in, then."
They followed their host into the cabin.
CHAPTER XVII. — A TIGHT PLACE.
The lower part of the cabin was divided into two rooms, over which was a loft. There was no staircase; but there was a short ladder by which the ascent was made.
"You're to sleep up there," said Jack, pointing to the loft. "Me and the old woman sleep below."
"All right," said Bradley, gaping. "I can sleep anywhere to-night. I'm powerful sleepy."
He ascended the ladder first, and Ben followed. There was no bedstead, but a straw pallet was stretched in one corner, with a blanket in place of a quilt.
