But

the

next

day

I

went

exploring

around

down

through

the

island

.

I

was

boss

of

it

;

it

all

belonged

to

me

,

so

to

say

,

and

I

wanted

to

know

all

about

it

;

but

mainly

I

wanted

to

put

in

the

time

.

I

found

plenty

strawberries

,

ripe

and

prime

;

and

green

summer

grapes

,

and

green

razberries

;

and

the

green

blackberries

was

just

beginning

to

show

.

They

would

all

come

handy

by

and

by

,

I

judged

.

Well

,

I

went

fooling

along

in

the

deep

woods

till

I

judged

I

war

n't

far

from

the

foot

of

the

island

.

I

had

my

gun

along

,

but

I

had

n't

shot

nothing

;

it

was

for

protection

;

thought

I

would

kill

some

game

nigh

home

.

About

this

time

I

mighty

near

stepped

on

a

good-sized

snake

,

and

it

went

sliding

off

through

the

grass

and

flowers

,

and

I

after

it

,

trying

to

get

a

shot

at

it

.

I

clipped

along

,

and

all

of

a

sudden

I

bounded

right

on

to

the

ashes

of

a

camp

fire

that

was

still

smoking

.

My

heart

jumped

up

amongst

my

lungs

.

I

never

waited

for

to

look

further

,

but

uncocked

my

gun

and

went

sneaking

back

on

my

tiptoes

as

fast

as

ever

I

could

.

Every

now

and

then

I

stopped

a

second

amongst

the

thick

leaves

and

listened

,

but

my

breath

come

so

hard

I

could

n't

hear

nothing

else

.

I

slunk

along

another

piece

further

,

then

listened

again

;

and

so

on

,

and

so

on

.

If

I

see

a

stump

,

I

took

it

for

a

man

;

if

I

trod

on

a

stick

and

broke

it

,

it

made

me

feel

like

a

person

had

cut

one

of

my

breaths

in

two

and

I

only

got

half

,

and

the

short

half

,

too

.

When

I

got

to

camp

I

war

n't

feeling

very

brash

,

there

war

n't

much

sand

in

my

craw

;

but

I

says

,

this

ai

n't

no

time

to

be

fooling

around

.

So

I

got

all

my

traps

into

my

canoe

again

so

as

to

have

them

out

of

sight

,

and

I

put

out

the

fire

and

scattered

the

ashes

around

to

look

like

an

old

last

year

's

camp

,

and

then

clumb

a

tree

.

I

reckon

I

was

up

in

the

tree

two

hours

;

but

I

did

n't

see

nothing

,

I

did

n't

hear

nothing

--

I

only

THOUGHT

I

heard

and

seen

as

much

as

a

thousand

things

.

Well

,

I

could

n't

stay

up

there

forever

;

so

at

last

I

got

down

,

but

I

kept

in

the

thick

woods

and

on

the

lookout

all

the

time

.

All

I

could

get

to

eat

was

berries

and

what

was

left

over

from

breakfast

.

By

the

time

it

was

night

I

was

pretty

hungry

.

So

when

it

was

good

and

dark

I

slid

out

from

shore

before

moonrise

and

paddled

over

to

the

Illinois

bank

--

about

a

quarter

of

a

mile

.

I

went

out

in

the

woods

and

cooked

a

supper

,

and

I

had

about

made

up

my

mind

I

would

stay

there

all

night

when

I

hear

a

PLUNKETY-PLUNK

,

PLUNKETY-PLUNK

,

and

says

to

myself

,

horses

coming

;

and

next

I

hear

people

's

voices

.

I

got

everything

into

the

canoe

as

quick

as

I

could

,

and

then

went

creeping

through

the

woods

to

see

what

I

could

find

out

.

I

had

n't

got

far

when

I

hear

a

man

say

:

"

We

better

camp

here

if

we

can

find

a

good

place

;

the

horses

is

about

beat

out

.

Let

's

look

around

.

"

I

did

n't

wait

,

but

shoved

out

and

paddled

away

easy

.

I

tied

up

in

the

old

place

,

and

reckoned

I

would

sleep

in

the

canoe

.

I

did

n't

sleep

much

.

I

could

n't

,

somehow

,

for

thinking

.

And

every

time

I

waked

up

I

thought

somebody

had

me

by

the

neck

.

So

the

sleep

did

n't

do

me

no

good

.

By

and

by

I

says

to

myself

,

I

ca

n't

live

this

way

;

I

'm

a-going

to

find

out

who

it

is

that

's

here

on

the

island

with

me

;

I

'll

find

it

out

or

bust

.

Well

,

I

felt

better

right

off

.

So

I

took

my

paddle

and

slid

out

from

shore

just

a

step

or

two

,

and

then

let

the

canoe

drop

along

down

amongst

the

shadows

.

The

moon

was

shining

,

and

outside

of

the

shadows

it

made

it

most

as

light

as

day

.

I

poked

along

well

on

to

an

hour

,

everything

still

as

rocks

and

sound

asleep

.

Well

,

by

this

time

I

was

most

down

to

the

foot

of

the

island

.

A

little

ripply

,

cool

breeze

begun

to

blow

,

and

that

was

as

good

as

saying

the

night

was

about

done

.

I

give

her

a

turn

with

the

paddle

and

brung

her

nose

to

shore

;

then

I

got

my

gun

and

slipped

out

and

into

the

edge

of

the

woods

.

I

sat

down

there

on

a

log

,

and

looked

out

through

the

leaves

.

I

see

the

moon

go

off

watch

,

and

the

darkness

begin

to

blanket

the

river

.

But

in

a

little

while

I

see

a

pale

streak

over

the

treetops

,

and

knowed

the

day

was

coming

.

So

I

took

my

gun

and

slipped

off

towards

where

I

had

run

across

that

camp

fire

,

stopping

every

minute

or

two

to

listen

.

But

I

had

n't

no

luck

somehow

;

I

could

n't

seem

to

find

the

place

.

But

by

and

by

,

sure

enough

,

I

catched

a

glimpse

of

fire

away

through

the

trees

.

I

went

for

it

,

cautious

and

slow

.

By

and

by

I

was

close

enough

to

have

a

look

,

and

there

laid

a

man

on

the

ground

.
