CHAPTER VIII
3/20

I'm going fishing purty soon, and won't be back till de arternoon.

When I come back we'll have fish for supper.

De Huron Injin give me something for to put in de fish, dat will put mine frow and de little ones to sleep, so dat dey won't wake up when we go out de wigwam." "And I suppose you do not wish me to eat of them ?" "No, for you'd get to sleep too, den I shall have to carry you." "There is no danger of my having much appetite after what you have told me." "Den you won't forget.

Remembers dat--I t'inks I feels better." Hans Vanderbum caught a glimpse of his amiable wife in the door of his lodge at this moment, which was the cause of the sudden change in his conversation.

Suiting his action to his words, he arose and said: "I t'inks I feels better, Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, and guesses I go fishing." "I guess you might as well." "Mine dear frow, shust gits te line and bait, while I lights mine pipe." His wife complied, and a few minutes later Hans Vanderbum sallied forth fully equipped for duty.
