Huck
was
already
upon
his
watch
when
the
ferryboat
's
lights
went
glinting
past
the
wharf
.
He
heard
no
noise
on
board
,
for
the
young
people
were
as
subdued
and
still
as
people
usually
are
who
are
nearly
tired
to
death
.
He
wondered
what
boat
it
was
,
and
why
she
did
not
stop
at
the
wharf
--
and
then
he
dropped
her
out
of
his
mind
and
put
his
attention
upon
his
business
.
The
night
was
growing
cloudy
and
dark
.
Ten
o'clock
came
,
and
the
noise
of
vehicles
ceased
,
scattered
lights
began
to
wink
out
,
all
straggling
foot-passengers
disappeared
,
the
village
betook
itself
to
its
slumbers
and
left
the
small
watcher
alone
with
the
silence
and
the
ghosts
.
Eleven
o'clock
came
,
and
the
tavern
lights
were
put
out
;
darkness
everywhere
,
now
.
Huck
waited
what
seemed
a
weary
long
time
,
but
nothing
happened
.
His
faith
was
weakening
.
Was
there
any
use
?
Was
there
really
any
use
?
Why
not
give
it
up
and
turn
in
?
A
noise
fell
upon
his
ear
.
He
was
all
attention
in
an
instant
.
The
alley
door
closed
softly
.
He
sprang
to
the
corner
of
the
brick
store
.
The
next
moment
two
men
brushed
by
him
,
and
one
seemed
to
have
something
under
his
arm
.
It
must
be
that
box
!
So
they
were
going
to
remove
the
treasure
.
Why
call
Tom
now
?
It
would
be
absurd
--
the
men
would
get
away
with
the
box
and
never
be
found
again
.
No
,
he
would
stick
to
their
wake
and
follow
them
;
he
would
trust
to
the
darkness
for
security
from
discovery
.
So
communing
with
himself
,
Huck
stepped
out
and
glided
along
behind
the
men
,
cat-like
,
with
bare
feet
,
allowing
them
to
keep
just
far
enough
ahead
not
to
be
invisible
.

They
moved
up
the
river
street
three
blocks
,
then
turned
to
the
left
up
a
cross-street
.
They
went
straight
ahead
,
then
,
until
they
came
to
the
path
that
led
up
Cardiff
Hill
;
this
they
took
.
They
passed
by
the
old
Welshman
's
house
,
half-way
up
the
hill
,
without
hesitating
,
and
still
climbed
upward
.
Good
,
thought
Huck
,
they
will
bury
it
in
the
old
quarry
.
But
they
never
stopped
at
the
quarry
.
They
passed
on
,
up
the
summit
.
They
plunged
into
the
narrow
path
between
the
tall
sumach
bushes
,
and
were
at
once
hidden
in
the
gloom
.
Huck
closed
up
and
shortened
his
distance
,
now
,
for
they
would
never
be
able
to
see
him
.
He
trotted
along
awhile
;
then
slackened
his
pace
,
fearing
he
was
gaining
too
fast
;
moved
on
a
piece
,
then
stopped
altogether
;
listened
;
no
sound
;
none
,
save
that
he
seemed
to
hear
the
beating
of
his
own
heart
.
The
hooting
of
an
owl
came
over
the
hill
--
ominous
sound
!
But
no
footsteps
.
Heavens
,
was
everything
lost
!
He
was
about
to
spring
with
winged
feet
,
when
a
man
cleared
his
throat
not
four
feet
from
him
!
Huck
's
heart
shot
into
his
throat
,
but
he
swallowed
it
again
;
and
then
he
stood
there
shaking
as
if
a
dozen
agues
had
taken
charge
of
him
at
once
,
and
so
weak
that
he
thought
he
must
surely
fall
to
the
ground
.
He
knew
where
he
was
.
He
knew
he
was
within
five
steps
of
the
stile
leading
into
Widow
Douglas
'
grounds
.
Very
well
,
he
thought
,
let
them
bury
it
there
;
it
wo
n't
be
hard
to
find
.
Now
there
was
a
voice
--
a
very
low
voice
--
Injun
Joe
's
:
"
Damn
her
,
maybe
she
's
got
company
--
there
's
lights
,
late
as
it
is
.
"

"
I
ca
n't
see
any
.
"
This
was
that
stranger
's
voice
--
the
stranger
of
the
haunted
house
.
A
deadly
chill
went
to
Huck
's
heart
--
this
,
then
,
was
the
"
revenge
"
job
!
His
thought
was
,
to
fly
.
Then
he
remembered
that
the
Widow
Douglas
had
been
kind
to
him
more
than
once
,
and
maybe
these
men
were
going
to
murder
her
.
He
wished
he
dared
venture
to
warn
her
;
but
he
knew
he
did
n't
dare
--
they
might
come
and
catch
him
.
He
thought
all
this
and
more
in
the
moment
that
elapsed
between
the
stranger
's
remark
and
Injun
Joe
's
next
--
which
was
--
"
Because
the
bush
is
in
your
way
.
Now
--
this
way
--
now
you
see
,
do
n't
you
?
"
