Tor some minutes the ramp was per

of certain and important consequent o.

time In the enmp. The silence gave le

There was another pause. Ned nnd

nnd he knew it. lie vmh uwnie that
not :i few of the white men ot tho
crew could tell sttnuge tales ef this
unsubstantial and yet fenifully teal
denizen of the woods. He had heard
those experiences and they were sim
ilar to his own. This continued nnd
stiengthened his feni Ho fixed his
eve linnly on Hugh, who nt length
hpoke ngnln.
"Puts me In thin," he said, "of
