It was Pierrot's trapping ground; and to Pierrot--father of Nepeese--I gave my best rifle on his word that he would not harm my beaver friends for two years.

And the people of Pierrot's breed keep their word.

Wakayoo, Baree's big bear friend, is dead.

He was killed as I have described, in that "pocket" among the ridges, while I was on a jaunt to Beaver Town.
We were becoming good friends and I missed him a great deal.

The story of Pierrot and of his princess wife, Wyola, is true; they are buried side by side under the tall spruce that stood near their cabin.
Pierrot's murderer, instead of dying as I have told it, was killed in his attempt to escape the Royal Mounted farther west.
