With one -brown hand he parted the stalks before him, and in the -other he carried a noose made from a slender willow -withe. His bright, black eyes peered cautiously about at -every step.</p> - -<p>Some distance ahead of him a small gray rabbit was -hopping slowly along, stopping here and there to take a -nibble of tender, young grass, or to stand up on his hind -legs and look about him. Bolo was hungry and he -thought a little rabbit would make him a good dinner.</p> - -<p>Closer and closer he crept. He raised the noose for a -throw. Then all at once the little animal pricked up his -long ears, gave one startled look ahead and plunged off -into the thick grass.</p> - -<p>At the same moment a boy about as large as Bolo broke -through the grass just beyond where the rabbit had -stood. He did not see the rabbit. All he saw was Bolo -standing with arm upraised and an angry frown on his -dark face.</p> - -<p>Bolo struck at the boy with his willow wand. He was -very angry at him for scaring away the rabbit.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[4]</span></p> - -<p>“Why do you strike at me?” said the boy, whose name -was Fisher.</p> - -<p>“You drove away my dinner,” said Bolo fiercely.</p> - -<p>“I did not see any dinner,” replied Fisher.</p> - -<p>“It was a fine rabbit,” said Bolo sulkily, “and I am -very hungry.”</p> - -<p>“So am I,” said the boy. “Let us go and catch a fish.”</p> - -<p>Bolo’s face grew less angry.</p> - -<p>“I cannot catch fish,” he said. “I can only catch -rabbits.”</p> - -<p>“I will show you how,” said Fisher.</p> - -<p>Bolo saw that Fisher had something in his hand. It -was a long, stout cord of reindeer sinew, and on one end -of it was tied a splinter of bone. The splinter was sharp -at both ends and the cord was fastened to the middle -of it.</p> - -<p>The boys left the thick grass and ran down the slope -to the river.</p> - -<p>There were many trees growing near it, and some of -them had long branches which hung out over the water. -Fisher caught hold of a branch and swung himself nimbly -into a tree. Then he crawled out on a limb that reached -out over the river. Bolo followed him.</p> - -<p>“We must be very still now,” said Fisher.</p> - -<p>He unwound the roll of sinew and dropped the bone -splinter into the water. It was only two or three minutes -before Bolo saw a shining fish leap up and catch it.</p> - -<p>Fisher laughed and pulled the fish out of the water. -But before he could get hold of it, it had struggled loose -and fallen into the river again.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[5]</span></p> - -<p>“I think I can catch a fish,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>He slid down the tree and crept close to the edge of -the water. He kept very still. In a few minutes he saw -a big fish come very close to the shore. He made a -quick spring and caught it in his hands.</p> - -<p>Fisher came down the tree quickly.</p> - -<p>“I could not catch a fish like that,” he said.</p> - -<p>“I catch rabbits that way sometimes,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>The boys were so hungry that they did not wait to -catch any more fish. They climbed back into the tree -and sat down on a limb. They rubbed the fish against -the rough bark to loosen the scales, then they tore pieces -of flesh out with their fingers and ate them raw.</p> - -<p>After they had eaten all they wanted they threw the -rest on the ground.</p> - -<p>“Now I will catch you,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>“Come on then,” cried Fisher.</p> - -<p>What a queer race it was! They did not run on the -ground as boys do now, but swung from limb to limb -through the trees. Fisher was very strong and quick, -and he dodged and climbed so nimbly that Bolo was soon -left some distance behind.</p> - -<p>At last they came to the edge of the woods. There -were no more trees very close, and Bolo thought Fisher -would have to turn back.</p> - -<p>“I will get you now,” shouted Bolo.</p> - -<p>But Fisher slipped down to the end of a long, slender -limb and hung with his hands. He swung back and -forth farther and farther at each swing. Before Bolo -could reach him he had flung himself far out toward a<span class="pagenum">[6]</span> -tree that stood by itself several yards from the edge of -the woods, and with a daring leap, had landed among its -branches.</p> - -<p>Bolo laughed and started to slide down the limb too. -He thought he could leap as far as Fisher could. Then -he glanced down to the ground and began to climb back -up the tree as fast as he could go.</p> - -<p>“The cave bear! the cave bear!” he shouted.</p> - -<p>Fisher glanced down, too, and his face had a look of -great fear on it as he realized the danger he had been in.</p> - -<p>There on the ground below them was an immense black -bear, growling and reaching up the trunk of the tree as -far as she could.</p> - -<p>Bolo was badly frightened. He did not think any -more about the race. He clambered back among the -trees as fast as he could.</p> - -<p>But Fisher did not dare to leap back the way he had -come. He thought he would stay where he was. He -knew if he should fall the bear would very quickly tear -him to pieces.</p> - -<p>When Bolo had got quite a distance from the bear he -stopped. He could still hear her growling and tearing at -the bark. He was glad he was safe, but he was sorry -Fisher could not get away, too. He thought that if Fisher -did not get away he would no longer have a playmate.</p> - -<p>Then he thought of something else and ran on through -the branches as fast as he could go.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[7]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_II">CHAPTER II -<br><span class="cheaderfont">How Bolo Learned a Lesson</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>It did not take Bolo long to get back to the Valley of -Caves. The cave where he lived was near the river, not -far from the place where he and Fisher had caught their -dinner. When he came in sight of it he slid down out of -the trees and ran quickly across the open space.</p> - -<p>“The bear! the bear!” he cried.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[8]</span></p> - -<p>His mother, whose name was Stitcher, was making a -wolf-skin coat for One Eye, his father. She was sitting -on the ground in front of the cave. She was sewing -with a long, slender bone needle, and the thread she -used was made of reindeer sinew.</p> - -<p>When she heard Bolo shouting she jumped up quickly -and ran to catch up little Antelope, her baby, who was -playing near by. Then she ran for the cave.</p> - -<p>“The bear! the bear!” screamed Bolo over and over. -He was out of breath from running, and that was all he -could say.</p> - -<p>Stitcher at once began to throw dry wood on the fire -just inside the cave. She knew that no bear would dare -to enter as long as she kept the fire blazing.</p> - -<p>It was some time before the excited boy could make -her understand where the bear was. She thought it was -coming to the cave. But when she found out the danger -Fisher was in she stood for a minute thinking.</p> - -<p>“The men are all gone,” she said. “They have all the -spears and harpoons. Here is a strong bow, but there -are only three arrows. You can not kill a bear with -arrows.”</p> - -<p>“I will try,” said Bolo eagerly.</p> - -<p>Not many men in the Clan could shoot with a bow. -They had always used spears and harpoons. They made -the heads of them out of flintstones. One Eye had been -the first man in the Clan to make arrows. He had -learned how from a stranger who had once visited the -Clan. One Eye thought the arrows much better than the -spears, but most of the men liked their old weapons best.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[9]</span></p> - -<p>Bolo had never shot an arrow himself, but he had seen -his father do so many times. When he thought of the -savage bear growling at the foot of the tree he was afraid. -Then he thought how brave One Eye was, and of the -terrible battle with the auroch which had cost him one -of his eyes and had earned for him the name of being -the boldest man in the Clan. That had happened many -years ago when One Eye was a boy like Bolo.</p> - -<p>“I will shoot the bear,” he said again, and his voice -was more eager than before.</p> - -<p>His mother gave him the stout bow and the three arrows. -He ran back to the trees as fast as he could go. -When he got to the nearest one he took the bow and arrows -firmly between his knees and grasped the lowest -limb with both hands. In a minute he had drawn himself -up and was scurrying back through the branches to -the place where poor Fisher was waiting.</p> - -<p>He found the boy just where he had left him. The -big bear was growling fiercely and walking around the -tree. Often she would stop and reach up as far as she -could with her forepaws, tearing viciously at the bark -and snarling with rage.</p> - -<p>When Fisher saw Bolo coming he shouted for joy. He -did not think Bolo would come back. Cave people did -not often think of helping each other. Each had to take -care of himself.</p> - -<p>“Now see me shoot the bear,” called Bolo proudly, -fitting one of the precious arrows to the bow.</p> - -<p>“Twang!” went the bowstring.</p> - -<p>But Bolo was so excited that the arrow flew wide of<span class="pagenum">[10]</span> -its mark. The bear roared more angrily than ever.</p> - -<p>Bolo sat down on a thick limb. He was not so sure of -killing the bear now. He fitted the next arrow very -carefully and waited till the bear had turned so as to face -him. Then he drew the shaft back against the taut string -and took steady aim.</p> - -<p>“Twang!” went the second arrow.</p> - -<p>What a roar there was then! The arrow pierced the -bear’s shaggy hide just above her shoulder and she rolled -over and over on the ground, clawing at it and howling -with pain and anger. But presently she was up again, -tearing madly at the tree where Bolo was sitting.</p> - -<div id="Ref_012" class="figcenter illowp78" style="max-width: 40.625em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/i012.jpg" alt=""> - <div class="caption"><p class="center">“<a href="#BRef_012">There was only one arrow left</a>”</p></div> -</div> - -<p><a id="BRef_012" href="#Ref_012">There was only one arrow left</a>. Bolo’s face grew very -sober as he fitted it to the string. If he should not kill -the bear this time poor Fisher would have to stay where -he was until some of the men came home. He might -grow so weary that he could not hold on any longer, and -then the bear would eat him.</p> - -<p>But if he could kill the bear! Ah, then he would be a -hero indeed—a great hero like One Eye. And then, -too, the cave men would all see what a fine weapon the -arrow was, and they would know that One Eye was wiser -than they were. But even One Eye had not thought a -bear could be killed with arrows.</p> - -<p>Bolo waited until the bear was over her first rage and -had grown quiet again. By and by she paused a moment -with her forepaws against the tree, looking up into the -branches. Bolo took careful aim right at her small, -wicked-looking eye.</p> - -<p>The third time the arrow flew from the string. And<span class="pagenum">[11]</span> -this time it went straight to its mark! The bear shrieked -with agony and reared up on her hind legs. Then she -rolled over on her side in the grass. Bolo waited to -see if she would get up. Then he called to Fisher.</p> - -<p>With a wild whoop, both boys slid down to the ground. -At first they did not dare to go very near the bear. -Fisher picked up a stone and threw it at her, but she did -not move. Then how the boys danced and shouted!</p> - -<p>But Bolo soon thought of something else.</p> - -<p>“The wolves will come,” he said.</p> - -<p>“We must hurry back to the caves,” said Fisher.</p> - -<p>“Then we will not have any bear meat,” returned Bolo.</p> - -<p>“We must save the meat if we can,” said Fisher. -“But we are only two boys, and the wolves are many and -fierce.”</p> - -<p>“Gather some dry wood quickly,” said Bolo. “I will -run back and bring a torch.”</p> - -<p>It did not take long for the boys to make a circle of -blazing sticks around the carcass of the bear. But almost -before it was done they could hear the terrible howl -of the hungry wolves, and they knew the pack was -closing in about them. Fisher was frightened and wished -they had left the meat for the wolves. But Bolo only -laughed loudly, and threw stones through the wall of fire -at the wolves, and called tauntingly to them. He knew -they were safe so long as the fire burned.</p> - -<p>Pretty soon it grew dark, and still the hungry wolves -howled around the wall of fire, pacing restlessly up and -down and watching for a place to break through it. The -boys were getting tired. Besides, all the dry wood they<span class="pagenum">[12]</span> -had been able to gather would soon be gone, and then -what would they do? They could save themselves by -climbing into the trees, but then they would have to give -up their bear, and such a supply of meat was a prize. It -meant a feast of many days for the whole Clan.</p> - -<p>“If I had more arrows I would shoot the wolves, too,” -said Bolo; “then we could go wherever we liked. -When we get back to the cave I will ask my father to -teach me how to make them for myself.”</p> - -<p>“I hear someone shouting,” said Fisher, just as the -dawn was beginning to show above the treetops.</p> - -<p>Both boys called out as loudly as they could. In another -minute they were answered.</p> - -<p>“We are coming,” shouted the men.</p> - -<p>The men carried blazing branches in their hands. They -came running toward the snarling wolf pack, screaming -and waving the firebrands about their heads. The -wolves quickly slunk away among the trees and did not -dare to come near again.</p> - -<p>What a time there was when the men came back to the -Valley of Caves bringing the bear. Bolo and Fisher had -to tell over and over how it had all happened, and just -how the arrow had killed the great beast. One Eye was -very proud, partly because the people knew now what -good things arrows were, and partly because Bolo had -shown himself to be such a hero.</p> - -<p>“He has learned a great lesson,” said One Eye. “He -has learned how to take care of himself like a man.”</p> - -<p>“You must teach me to make arrows,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>“Yes,” said One Eye, “that shall be your next lesson.”</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[13]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_III">CHAPTER III -<br><span class="cheaderfont">The Flood and the Fire</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>In a cave close to the river a very old woman lived by -herself. She did not do any work. The cave people -brought her everything she needed to eat, and when she -wanted a new garment Stitcher made it for her. She -had something more important to do than to gather food -or sew skins. She had to take care of the Great Fire.</p> - -<p>Sometimes the fire in the other caves went out. Then -Flame, for that was the old woman’s name, had to light -a torch at the fire in her cave and give it to the person -who needed it. So of course the Great Fire must never -go out for if it did no one knew how to get any more.</p> - -<p>No one knew where Flame got the fire in her cave. -Her mother was Keeper of the Great Fire for the Clan -as far back as the oldest men could remember. She -taught Flame how to talk to the Fire-god and persuade -him to give her the fire, but Flame had never told anyone -else. She liked to be the fire-keeper herself.</p> - -<p>Bolo and Fisher often went to Flame’s cave. They -liked to watch the great blaze always burning on the big -flat rock just inside the entrance to her cave. They -brought her dry wood for it, and sometimes she would -let them roast nuts or broil slices of meat or fish over the -smaller fire where she cooked her own food. She would -never allow them to go very near the Great Fire on the -big hearth, and she never used that one to cook her food.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[14]</span></p> - -<p>Bolo and Fisher often played in Flame’s cave. There -was a small hole away at the back of it where they could -crawl out into the sunlight. Flame did not like this hole. -She was afraid some wild animal might come through it. -So she told the boys always to roll a great rock against -it when they were through playing. This was the first -door any of the Clan had ever had.</p> - -<p>When it rained the cave people stayed at home. They -were warm and dry in the big caves. They always kept -great piles of dry wood stored away so that the fires -rarely went out. The little children played about in the -firelight. The women, with Stitcher to teach them, -pounded the skins soft or sewed them into garments. -The men busied themselves making new points for their -spears and harpoons. But One Eye always made arrow -heads instead, and since Bolo killed the cave bear many -of the men came to his cave to be taught how to make -them, too. Many were beginning to think arrows much -better than their old weapons, but some of the old men -still declared they were of no use.</p> - -<p>Once it began to rain, and for many days the clouds -never broke and rain fell constantly. The season was -warm and the boys had a great deal of fun running about -in the wet. They always left their skin coats in the caves -when they did that, for if the skins got very wet it made -them stiff and hard.</p> - -<p>At first this was sport, but as the days went on and -the torrents still poured down the cave people began to -get uneasy. Their stock of wood was running low, too, -and the weather was turning colder.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[15]</span></p> - -<p>“How high the river is running,” said Fisher one day. -“And see how many branches, and even great trees, are -floating down on it.”</p> - -<p>“It is almost up to the hole in the back of Flame’s -cave,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>“We had better go and tell her,” said Fisher. So away -they went to Flame’s cave.</p> - -<p>“The water never comes into my cave,” said Flame.</p> - -<p>“But it is coming now,” cried Bolo in alarm. And -sure enough, a little trickle of muddy water was running -across the floor.</p> - -<p>Flame looked at the tiny stream anxiously.</p> - -<p>“We must roll the great rock closer,” she said.</p> - -<p>Bolo and Fisher ran to put the big rock in place. Then -they tried to daub mud about the edges to keep the water -out. But it did no good. The stream was constantly -growing larger, and Flame grew frightened.</p> - -<p>“The water will put out the Great Fire,” she said. -“Ah, see! It is coming in at the front of the cave, too.”</p> - -<p>“It will drown us,” cried Fisher and Bolo in great fear. -“Let us run away from it.”</p> - -<p>As they hastened out of the cave they saw people hurrying -here and there in great confusion. Bolo saw his -mother with little Antelope on her arm. She was running -toward the trees. He saw One Eye, too, and wondered -what he had in the great skin bag he was carrying.</p> - -<p>Everyone was screaming and calling, and everywhere -he looked he saw the muddy river. It had broken over -its banks and was flooding all the land. How fast it came!</p> - -<p>Higher and higher it grew, with a great rush like the<span class="pagenum">[16]</span> -breaking of a big wave on the ocean; and before Bolo and -Fisher could get to the trees it was nearly to their knees.</p> - -<p>The boys never forgot that terrible time. For many -long hours the rain fell in gusty sheets, and below them, -as they sat huddled close together on a big limb, they -could see nothing but brown, rushing water. They called -sometimes, and at first one or another of the cave people -would answer. Once Bolo heard his mother’s voice. -But after a while there were no more answers.</p> - -<p>Then it began to grow very cold. The boys could not -keep warm even by sitting very close together. In the -clouded light they could see groups of cave people on the -hills about the Valley. As they looked at one group, to -their horror, they saw a great pack of wolves fighting -through the water to reach the same high place. From -another hilltop they could hear the snarling of frightened -and savage hyenas.</p> - -<p>“It is better in the trees,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>“I wonder where Flame has gone,” said Fisher.</p> - -<p>It seemed to Bolo as if they must die before the rain -ceased and the flood went down. Their hands grew so -stiff that they could hardly hold to the limbs. Dark came, -and daylight, and dark again, they could not tell how -many times, and still the water raged below them. Once -in the night they felt something strike the tree, and in the -morning the body of a great wildcat hung limply across -the end of the limb.</p> - -<p>“I am glad he was dead before he found our tree,” said -Bolo with a shudder.</p> - -<p>When the rain stopped at last and the water began to<span class="pagenum">[17]</span> -go down the boys could hardly move. They tried to call, -but their lips were stiff and would not make much sound. -Now and then, as the water whirled past, the ghastly face -of a drowned cave man would glimmer for a moment below -them, only to be swallowed up at once by the grim, -brown water.</p> - -<p>The water went down as fast as it had risen. As soon -as it was safe the boys slid stiffly to the ground and -limped back to the caves. They were hungry and cold -and miserable, and they thought how good the fire would -feel. But though they searched long and carefully -through the sodden ashes they could not find so much as -a single spark.</p> - -<p>By and by more of the cave people began to come back -home, one by one. Frantically they searched through -the desolate caves for a glimmer of fire, but none could -be found. They were in despair. How could they live -without fire? There would be no way to cook their food -or to warm themselves when it grew cold. And, worst -of all, there would now be no way to keep the wild beasts -out of the caves, and all of the people would have to go -back to the trees to live, as did their fore-parents so long, -long ago. They were very wretched, and could do nothing -but huddle together in groups, trying to realize all -that the loss of their fires would mean to them.</p> - -<p>But where was Flame? Perhaps if they could find her -she could help them. They thought she knew where the -Fire-god lived and could get him to send them fire.</p> - -<p>“Let us see if we can find Flame,” said Bolo.</p> - -<p>So he and Fisher started out to look for her.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[18]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_IV">CHAPTER IV -<br><span class="cheaderfont">The God Who Lived in the Sun</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>By this time the sun was shining brightly. The boys -held out their stiffened hands and thought how good and -warm the sunshine felt.</p> - -<p>“It is like the Great Fire,” said Fisher.</p> - -<p>“Perhaps the Fire-god lives in the sun,” whispered -Bolo, looking toward it with an awed expression on his -dark face.</p> - -<p>As they came near Flame’s cave they saw that she was -there, sure enough. She was down on her knees in front -of the entrance, making strange motions with her hands. -They thought she was looking for something.</p> - -<p>“Wait a minute.” Bolo caught Fisher by the arm and -drew him back. “Let us see what she is doing.”</p> - -<p>Just then she slowly rose to her feet. She turned her -face toward the sun and stretched her lean arms up as -far as she could. Her long gray hair streamed out behind -her and her eyes were very bright. She looked as if -she was seeing something a long way off. Her lips moved.</p> - -<p>“She is talking to the sun,” said Fisher in a frightened -whisper. “Perhaps she is calling the Fire-god.”</p> - -<p>The boys came cautiously nearer. They were not -afraid of Flame, but they were not sure what might happen -next. And they were very curious to hear what she<span class="pagenum">[19]</span> -was saying. By and by Flame turned and saw the boys. -She beckoned them to come nearer.</p> - -<p>“The Water-god is great,” she said in a solemn voice, -“but greater is the Fire-god. He has spoken to me from -his dwelling place, the sun. He has promised that we -shall have the Great Fire again. But,” she added slowly, -“I am old and my strength has grown small. I must -have help. You must help me.”</p> - -<p>How proud the boys were! Gladly they ran at her bidding -to bring the driest sticks they could find. It was -hard to discover many, for the long rain had soaked -everything through and through. But they climbed into -the trees and broke off dead limbs that had become partially -dried out again, and they broke open rotten logs -to get the dry, crumbly wood that lay at their hearts. It -was not very long until they had brought together a nice -supply of dry sticks and light, tindery wood.</p> - -<p>Flame was on her knees again when they came back, -and now they could see what she was doing. She had a -long, pointed, hardwood stick in her hands and was twirling -it very fast in a little hollow in a flat block of soft, -dry wood. While she worked she mumbled to herself, -now and then looking up at the sun and speaking as if to -the god that she said lived in it. The boys stood very -still and watched her.</p> - -<p>Flame worked a long time. Then she threw down the -pointed stick and wrung her hands.</p> - -<p>“I am too old,” she wailed. “No more are my hands -strong to bring the Fire-god to help my people. Oh, -woe is me! woe is me!”</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[20]</span></p> - -<p>Bolo came up timidly and touched her shoulder. He -held out both hands, opening and shutting his wiry brown -fingers.</p> - -<p>“My hands are very strong,” he said. “Let them be -as your hands and twirl the stick while you speak to the -Fire-god.”</p> - -<p>Then Fisher spoke up eagerly. “Do you not remember -the game we play with the stick and the strap? Do you -remember how very fast we can make it go? Let us -both twirl the stick with the strap while Flame speaks to -the Fire-god.”</p> - -<p>So Fisher brought a flat, strong strap made of reindeer -hide and wrapped it around the stick. Then he and Bolo -took hold of the ends and drew them back and forth.</p> - -<p>How fast the pointed stick did go! Flame showed -them how to hold it in the hollowed block, then she rose -and once more faced the sun, her arms held toward it and -her lips mumbling a prayer to the Fire-god.</p> - -<p>Faster and faster whirled the stick, and louder and -louder prayed Flame. Pretty soon she began stamping -her feet and waving her hands. She moved around the -boys in a circle, her face always toward the sun.</p> - -<p><a id="BRef_007" href="#Ref_007">For a long time nothing happened</a>. Then at last Bolo -saw a tiny thread of smoke rising from the hollow.</p> - -<p>“The fire is coming,” he shouted. “Pray! pray!”</p> - -<p>In another moment a very, very small spark glowed -through the smoke. The eager boys sprinkled crumbs of -dry tinder upon it and soon they had a small blaze. A few -dry sticks made it leap up brightly, and then how Flame -shouted and sang and flung her arms up toward the sun.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[21]</span></p> - -<p>“I have heard the will of the Fire-god,” she said after -a time. “I am old, and he has taken this way to show -me that I must teach someone else to call him. I might -have died in the water, and then who could have helped -the cave people? They must all have died, too. And it -is better that two should know than one, for then the -secret of the Great Fire will not be so easily lost. You -are faithful; you will be faithful. I will teach you. But -first you must carry fire to the people.”</p> - -<p>Bolo and Fisher each took a lighted torch and started -back to where the discouraged cave people were huddled -together. How everyone shouted for joy when they saw -the fire coming. They knew that again they were safe -in their homes in the Valley of Caves.</p> - -<p>It was not many days until most of the people who -were left were back at home again. Some had been -swept away by the water, some had wandered away when -they found there was no fire, and some had died from -cold and hunger. All felt very sad when they saw how -the water had laid waste their pretty valley.</p> - -<p>They had lost all their weapons, too, and old Quickfinger, -who had made most of the spears and harpoons for -the Clan, was nowhere to be found. They thought he -must have died, for they knew he would never have left -them.</p> - -<p>Then One Eye showed them what he had carried away -in the great skin bag. He had gathered up all the arrows -he could find, many spear and harpoon heads, and -the flint flakers that Quickfinger and himself had used in -making them.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[22]</span></p> - -<p>“I can make better arrows than Quickfinger,” he said. -“Arrows are better than spears or harpoons. I have -taught Bolo, and he will help me make them. I will -teach you, too. The women must make the bowstrings. -Soon we will have plenty of weapons.”</p> - -<p>“One Eye is wise and prudent,” cried the cave men -joyfully. “We will do whatever he says. He will take -care of us.”</p> - -<p>But they did not know that Flame had taught Bolo and -Fisher a greater lesson than how to make arrows. She -made the boys promise to keep secret what she taught -them. She did not believe it was right for all the Clan -to know how to make fire. She thought the Fire-god -would be angry if she told them.</p> - -<p>Years after, when Flame was dead, Bolo and Fisher -thought the rest of the people ought to know, too. They -did not believe the Fire-god would be angry if they -taught them all. So one day, when they were both old -men, they gathered the Clan together—but that is another -story.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[23]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_V">CHAPTER V -<br><span class="cheaderfont">A Long Search and What Came of It</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>Many days went by and still Stitcher did not come back -to the Valley of Caves. One Eye took his bow and arrows -and went here and there among the hills, but nothing -could he find of either Stitcher or little Antelope. -He was very sad, for he remembered how pretty little -Antelope used to run out to meet him when he came -home after a hunt, and what fine shirts of reindeer and -wolf-skins Stitcher made for him. One day he came -back to the caves after being gone a long time. He threw -himself wearily down and said very sadly:</p> - -<p>“They are dead. I will search no more.”</p> - -<p>But Bolo did not believe his mother was dead.</p> - -<p>“I am going to try to find them,” he said. “Make me -a strong bow and a quiver full of fine arrows, for I may -be gone a long time.”</p> - -<p>One Eye shook his head mournfully.</p> - -<p>“You will only die, too,” he said.</p> - -<p>But Bolo brought some flint stones and set to making -his arrows. Then One Eye sat down to show him how -to make them more keen and beautiful than any he had -ever made. He took a curved piece of bone and chipped -off the large flakes. Then he pressed off smaller flakes -one by one, working very carefully, until he had made a -fine, keen point. Bolo watched his father and worked<span class="pagenum">[24]</span> -in the same way, and soon they had a nice lot of arrows. -Bolo made a new head for his spear, too, and bound it on -with a fresh cord of reindeer sinew.</p> - -<p>At last all was ready. One Eye brought a great, hollow -bone that he had taken from the leg of a mammoth years -before and fastened a wooden base to it. He drilled holes -in the upper edge and strung thongs through them so -that Bolo could carry it over his shoulder. Then he put -the arrows into the hollow of the bone. It made a good -quiver.</p> - -<p>Bolo carried his bow over one shoulder and his quiver -full of arrows over the other. He carried his spear in -his hand, and at his side he hung a heavy hammer made -of stone. One Eye wanted him to leave the hammer and -take a great club that he had made from the jawbone of -a cave bear, to which one long, sharp tooth was still attached. -But Bolo was afraid of this club. He was -afraid it would make the cave bears angry with him. So -he did not take it. Fisher wanted to go with Bolo, but -Flame said “No.” She had grown very feeble and she -was afraid she might die. If both boys went away and -never came back there would be no one to talk to the -Fire-god. So Fisher stayed to help Flame tend the Great -Fire.</p> - -<p>For three days Bolo wandered about over the hills. At -night he tied himself to the branch of a tree, safely out -of the reach of harm, and slept soundly. He shot a rabbit -now and then for food, and sometimes caught a fish. -One day he found himself suddenly surrounded by a pack -of snarling, hungry hyenas, but a few well-aimed arrows<span class="pagenum">[25]</span> -sent them scurrying off into the hills. How glad Bolo -was that they were not wolves!</p> - -<p>One day Bolo climbed a tall tree that stood alone on a -hill. He hoped he might be able to find some trace of -those he sought. He looked slowly about in every direction. -On one side the hills lay like great, rounded billows, -many of them covered with trees. On the other -side wound the river, in some places between sloping -shores, in others between steep banks. Off toward the -north it disappeared behind a jutting cliff. It was a long -way from Bolo’s tree, but he thought he could see something -moving along the river bank. He looked again -eagerly. Perhaps that might be his mother and little -Antelope.</p> - -<p>He climbed down the tree and ran across to another -hilltop closer to the river. Here he climbed another -tree, and from that he saw something so strange that he -held his breath in terrified surprise.</p> - -<div id="Ref_025" class="figcenter illowp69" style="max-width: 40.625em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/i033.jpg" alt=""> - <div class="caption"><p class="center">“<a href="#BRef_025">Bolo had never seen any animals like this before</a>”</p></div> -</div> - -<p>Great, lumbering creatures were moving about along -the edge of the river. They had heavy, swinging snouts, -and from their enormous heads rose in great curves immense, -yellowish things that looked like queer horns. -<a id="BRef_025" href="#Ref_025">Bolo had never seen any animals like these before</a>. He -watched them with fascinated eyes, wondering what they -could be. Sometimes one of them would reach up into a -tree with its great snout and pull a branch down. Two -of them appeared to be quarreling, and one thrust its -shaggy head and wicked looking tusks against the side -of the other and made him stagger. Another waded out -into the river and appeared to be drinking. In a minute<span class="pagenum">[26]</span> -he threw his trunk over his back and out spouted a -stream of muddy water. There were fully twice as many of -these animals as there were fingers on both of his hands.</p> - -<p>At last Bolo thought again of his mother and little Antelope. -How he hoped they had not been trampled to -death by these dreadful beasts. He had almost given up -finding them now, for he was sure that even if they had -not been drowned or killed by wild beasts they must -have starved. So, sad at heart, he started on the long -journey back to the Valley of Caves.</p> - -<p>Weary and heartsick, he came in sight of the caves. -But who was that running up the slope to meet him? -Surely it could not be—yes, it was! It was dear little -Antelope, holding up her baby hands and shouting his -name. Down the hill he ran, forgetting his aching -limbs and heavy heart, and how both laughed and -shouted for joy as he caught his lost sister up and put -her on his shoulder. Together thus, they came to the -cave where Stitcher sat, her brown hands for once idle -as she leaned wearily against the side of a great rock. -She looked very worn and thin, but smiled gladly when -Bolo came up and put his arm about her shoulders.</p> - -<p>“We looked everywhere,” he said. “Where have you -been all this time? And how did you live?”</p> - -<p>“I will tell you another time,” said Stitcher. “I do -not like to talk about it now.”</p> - -<p>How excited Bolo was as he told One Eye and the -other cave men about the strange herd he had seen in the -distant valley. The whole Clan was at once in a turmoil. -One Eye gave it as his opinion that the great animals<span class="pagenum">[27]</span> -were mammoths, which rarely came into that region, and -were very valuable for their meat, their skins, and the -ivory in the long tusks. One mammoth would make -meat for all the Clan for many days, and they were all -eager to start at once on a great hunt for them.</p> - -<p>“We must take spears and harpoons,” said one.</p> - -<p>“No, we must take bows and arrows,” said another.</p> - -<p>“We will go up the river and attack them from the -water,” said a third.</p> - -<p>“No,” objected a fourth, “that would frighten them -back into the hills and we could not get them.”</p> - -<p>In short, each man in the Clan seemed to think he -knew just what to do, and would not listen to anyone -else. For a while it looked as if the great hunt would -have to be given up.</p> - -<p>“Why not choose someone who is brave and wise to -lead you, and then all do as he tells you to?” suggested -Bek, the oldest man in the Clan.</p> - -<p>No one had thought of that.</p> - -<p>“That is right,” said Flame, who had come up to listen.</p> - -<p>“But how shall we know who is the wisest?” called -several voices at once.</p> - -<p>“Who has done the most for the Clan?” asked old Bek.</p> - -<p>“One Eye saved our weapons when the flood came.”</p> - -<p>“He taught us to make arrows.”</p> - -<p>“He is not afraid.”</p> - -<p>“Then let One Eye be the leader,” cried Flame, and -to this they all agreed.</p> - -<p>Such a time as there was then! The cave men ran -here and there gathering up spears and arrows and clubs<span class="pagenum">[28]</span> -and making themselves ready. The women bound new -points on the spears with heavy sinews, and Bolo helped -his father prepare a number of torches from wood soaked -in fat. Flame brought some other torches made from -knotty pine limbs. They all knew they would need fire -with which to fight the mammoths.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[29]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VI">CHAPTER VI -<br><span class="cheaderfont">The Hunt for the Mammoths</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>It was a long way to where Bolo had seen the herd, and -they were all afraid the animals might have wandered -away. Bolo and Fisher ran eagerly ahead, and Bolo -pointed out to Fisher the things he had noticed while -searching for his mother. One Eye said very little, but -he sent men up into every tall tree they passed to see if -they could discover the herd. They traveled all day, and -when night came they built a great circle of fire and lay -down to rest. One Eye chose four men to carry torches, -and it was their duty to see that the fires did not go out.</p> - -<p>When they came to the valley where Bolo had seen the -mammoths they found nothing but trampled grass and -the broken limbs of trees. They went very slowly and -carefully after that. It was not long till a man, who had -climbed into a very tall tree on a hilltop, called out excitedly -that he could see something moving at the base -of a cliff that hung high and steep above the river. One -Eye climbed the tree himself, and looked long and closely -where the man pointed.</p> - -<p>“It is the herd,” he said. “Now let every man do just -as I say.”</p> - -<p>He divided the cave men into two parties. One was -to move up very slowly from the side where they were, -the other was to travel rapidly around through a valley<span class="pagenum">[30]</span> -behind some hills and come upon the herd from the other -side. Bolo, young as he was, was appointed to lead the -first party, while One Eye himself led the second division -through the valley. The men seemed pleased at this for -they thought Bolo deserved some honor.</p> - -<p>When the cave men had surrounded the herd in this -fashion they were to close in upon them, each man -carrying a blazing torch, and try to drive the animals up -the landward slope of the cliff, and over it into the river. -They knew they could never kill one of these huge beasts -with any weapons they had. So they thought to kill -them by driving them over the cliff and making them -fall upon the rocks below. Some of the cave men who -had never seen a mammoth were very much frightened -at the terrible beasts. They said they were going back -to the caves. But the others taunted them and called -them women, until they grew ashamed and went on with -the rest.</p> - -<p>Very stealthily and carefully the two bodies of cave -men drew toward the great herd of grazing animals. -One of the older men told in whispers of another such -hunt he had taken part in when a young man. He said -he had never tasted any meat so good as that of the -mammoth.</p> - -<p>Bolo watched carefully for his father’s signal. At last -it came, and when he saw the tossing torch he motioned -his men to light their torches and go on quickly.</p> - -<p>In a very few minutes the surprised mammoths found -themselves attacked from three sides by a screaming, -leaping line of cave men, each swinging a fiery torch<span class="pagenum">[31]</span> -above his head. At first the huge beasts stood still. -Then they turned and went awkwardly up the long slope -on the landward side of the bluff. The men followed as -closely as they dared, for they feared that when the animals -came to the edge of the bluff they would swing -around and rush through the line of their attackers, -trampling them under their great feet.</p> - -<p>One Eye was again leading the entire band. Always -he was at the very front, shouting and waving his torch. -One man, more daring than the rest, ran up and thrust -his burning firebrand right against the shaggy side of -the nearest mammoth. The frenzied beast, with a bellow -of rage, turned and tore back through the yelling -mass of hunters. In spite of all their efforts to escape, -two men were killed and three more badly hurt. The -rest of the herd, terrified by the confusion, huddled together -on the edge of the bluff.</p> - -<p>“Close in! close in!” shouted One Eye, brandishing -his torch in a fury of excitement. But the cave men were -too much frightened to obey. They were scattered by -the stampeding mammoth, and were too scared and confused -to obey their leader. What made things worse -was that they had never been used to obeying the orders -of anyone.</p> - -<p>But Bolo and Fisher obeyed. Bolo had drawn a little -away from the rest of the hunters. He had swung his -stout bow down from his shoulder and carefully fitted an -arrow to the taut string. No one noticed the sharp twang -as the arrow left the bowstring, but all saw one of the -mammoths rear suddenly with pain and plunge into the<span class="pagenum">[32]</span> -midst of the herd. Startled at this sudden onslaught, the -herd pressed a little closer to the edge of the cliff, and -then—</p> - -<p>Never in all his life did Bolo hear again such a terrific -shriek as the falling mammoth gave. For many nights -after that he covered his ears as he lay down to sleep so -that he might not hear it again in his dreams. Then -came the sickening crash as the gigantic body struck the -rocks below. The men turned and fled, and the remaining -mammoths, in a frenzy of fear, tore back down the -landward side of the cliffs into the valley. For some -moments the hunters, wide-eyed and breathless, watched -the herd as it lumbered down the valley, until at last it -passed behind the hills and was gone.</p> - -<p>When the cave men hurried down to the river’s edge -they found the immense, shaggy carcass of the dead -mammoth lying in the shallow water at the base of the -cliff. They could not move it to dry land, so they waded -out to it and went to work to cut it up with their long -flint knives right where it was.</p> - -<p>But first they sent four of the swiftest runners back to -the Valley of Caves, and to another Clan who lived far -up the river, to tell them all to come and partake of the -feast. From every direction they came, men, women and -children, and by the time the hunters had the great carcass -cut up and carried to the shore there was a great -gathering of hungry cave people who all rejoiced at the -prospect of so delicious a feast.</p> - -<p>They stayed here several days, feasting and resting. -Then, every woman, loaded with meat, and every man,<span class="pagenum">[33]</span> -carrying a heavy club to protect the party from attacks -of wild beasts, they took their way back to the Valley of -Caves. They all knew that if the men should carry the -meat themselves they might all be killed by wolves or -other savage beasts. So the men kept themselves ready -to fight while the women bore the burdens.</p> - -<p>There was great rejoicing when they reached home -again. Every one praised One Eye for his wisdom and -courage, and they all agreed that he should be their -leader as long as he lived.</p> - -<p>“Bolo will be as wise as his father,” said Flame. -“Wiser, too, perhaps,” she added, nodding her head -sagely, for she thought of the important secret that no -one in the Clan knew except herself and the two boys.</p> - -<p>“Then Bolo shall be our leader after his father is dead,” -said old Bek. But he suspected what Flame meant.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[34]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VII">CHAPTER VII -<br><span class="cheaderfont">How Stitcher Saved the Clan from Hunger</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>Many months passed by and in the Valley of Caves all -was going well again. The flood was almost forgotten. -Nuts and berries were plenty in the woods and the hunters -always came home laden. No one thought very -much about the time when they had been so hungry and -cold and wretched. That is, not many people did. But -Stitcher could never forget the days after the great flood -when she had wandered about in the hills with little -Antelope in her arms, not knowing which way to go, -hungry and weary and in danger. She always shuddered -when she thought of it, and called her little girl up close -to her.</p> - -<p>She remembered other times, too, when nuts and berries -were few and game was scarce. She thought there -ought to be some way to get ready for such times so the -cave people would not need to suffer so much. So one -day when the men brought in great quantities of meat -she cut some in strips and hid it in the top of the cave.</p> - -<p>“I will keep this till the rest of the meat is gone,” said -Stitcher. But she told no one what she had done.</p> - -<p>It was a long time before Stitcher thought of the meat -again. Then she only remembered it because she happened -to think of that terrible time when she had been -so hungry. She reached up in the top of the cave and<span class="pagenum">[35]</span> -brought down the strips, and behold! the meat was deliciously -smoked and dried by the heat of the fire.</p> - -<p>“It is good,” she said, and gave some to One Eye to -taste.</p> - -<p>“Yes, it is good,” he said, reaching for more.</p> - -<p>“After this we will not need to go hungry any more,” -said Stitcher, “for when the hunting is good we will -save meat.”</p> - -<p>“How wise and thoughtful you are,” said One Eye.</p> - -<p>There was something else that Stitcher did not think -of for a long time. When she was so far from home, -and little Antelope was crying for food, she had found -some strange stalks that had grains like tiny brown berries -in a sort of husk at their tip. She shook some of -these berries out and gave them to Antelope, and ate -some herself. They tasted a little like nut meats but -were even better.</p> - -<p>Stitcher had brought some of these grains home in her -doe-skin pouch. She carried them to eat on the way, but -she did not eat them all up. When she got back to the -caves she threw the rest of the berries out on the ground. -A few days after that she noticed some particularly -bright grass growing where she had thrown the grains. -But she did not think that it might have grown from -them.</p> - -<p>The grains had fallen in a sheltered place where the -new green blades were not trampled down. In time the -stalks became yellow and dry, and at their tips were -more husks filled with smooth brown grains. When -Stitcher saw them she cried out in delight.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[36]</span></p> - -<p>“They are like the berries I scattered on the ground,” -she exclaimed. “I will scatter these again. I like to see -them grow.”</p> - -<p>So, instead of eating the brown kernels, Stitcher shook -them all out of the husks on the ground. This time she -watched them, and was careful to see that no one walked -upon them. After a long time there were more yellow -stalks and more sweet, nutty grains.</p> - -<p>“Here are a great many berries,” said Stitcher, as she -shook them out into a big wooden bowl. “We will eat -some of them. But most of them I will scatter again. -By and by there will be enough so we can all have some -of them to eat.”</p> - -<p>After that Stitcher had some grain growing near her -cave all the time. Many heard of this wonderful new -food and came long distances to get some of the kernels. -And soon most of the cave people were raising little -patches of wheat in the open spaces about their caves.</p> - -<p>“We will never be hungry again,” said Stitcher.</p> - -<p>Years after that Stitcher lost all her teeth and could not -eat the hard grains. So she put some of them into a -hollowed stone and pounded them with another stone till -they were soft. In this way the cave people came at last -to grind grain for bread. But it was many, many years -before they learned how to do that. For a long time -they ate it just as it came from the husk.</p> - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum">[37]</span></p> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VIII">CHAPTER VIII -<br><span class="cheaderfont">The Pictures on the Wall</span></h2> -</div> - - -<p>Bek, the oldest man in the Clan, lived in a cave not -very far from the one where Flame kept the Great Fire.</p> - -<p>It was a wonderful cave, more wonderful even, the -boys thought, than Flame’s. They were almost afraid -to go into it, however, for the cave people thought old -Bek had the power of making charms.</p> - -<p>One day as Bolo peeped into Bek’s cave the old man -was drawing a picture on a smooth place on the rock -wall. He had a queer little lamp made of hollowed chalk-stone. -This was filled with fat. Into the fat Bek had -stuck a bit of the pith of a water-rush. He could light -this little chalk-cup lamp and go on with his pictures -when he had no need for fire.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" style="max-width: 27.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/i042.jpg" alt=""> - <div class="caption"><p class="center">Picture of a Mammoth Cut in Ivory by a Cave Man and Found in one of the -Caves of France.</p></div> -</div> - -<p>“What are you doing?” asked Bolo.</p> - -<p>“Come and see,” said Bek.</p> - -<p>When Bolo went closer he saw that it was a drawing -of a reindeer. He watched as Bek added line after line, -bringing out the graceful curve of the neck, the turn of -the long, branching horns, and the dainty, slender legs.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[38]</span></p> - -<p>“I should like to make a picture, too,” said Bolo eagerly.</p> - -<p>“You may try,” said Bek, handing him the bit of -brown soft stone he had been using.</p> - -<p>So Bolo tried and tried, but when he was done no one -could have told what it was he had been trying to draw.</p> - -<p>“I will make pictures yet some day,” cried Bolo, throwing -down the stone. “I will make the cave bear I killed, -and the mammoths.”</p> - -<p>“See here, now,” said Bek.</p> - -<p>He took a large, smooth piece of the tusk of the mammoth -the cave men had killed. One Eye had given him -one of the ivory tusks because he knew the old man -loved beautiful things, and the ivory was very smooth -and beautiful. Then he took a sharp flint awl and began -to make deep, careful marks in the ivory. Bolo -watched him with great interest.</p> - -<p>“Why, it is the mammoth itself,” he cried at last. -“Only wait, Bek; the great tusk did not curve up quite -like that. It was more like this.”</p> - -<p>Bolo took the awl and made a mark that he thought -showed more nearly how the tusk looked. Yet he was -not quite satisfied and tried again, and the next time -both he and Bek declared that the curve was right.</p> - -<p>“Now we must put in the long hair,” said Bek, drawing -short, straight lines down over the animal’s head -and shoulders. “There, now! here is the eye, too, and -the big, flapping ears. Ah, ha, my Bolo, we must show -this to One Eye and see what he says.”</p> - -<p>When One Eye saw the drawing he became very grave.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum">[39]</span></p> - -<p>“It is a charm,” he said. “Whoever carries that can -never be harmed by a mammoth.”</p> - -<p>So he bored a hole through one end of the ivory and -ran a thong through it. Then he hung it about Bolo’s -neck. The lad was very proud of his new ornament and -showed everybody the wonderful picture Bek had made.</p> - -<p>Day after day Bolo worked with Bek in his cave. Many -were the drawings he made, or tried to make, and at -last old Bek began to say he was doing very well.</p> - -<p>“The animals like to have us make their pictures,” -said Bek. “They think we want to be friends with them -when we do that.”</p> - -<p>“I will make them look more like animals,” said Bolo. -“I will cut them out with my flint knife.” So after he had -drawn a picture of a reindeer he cut it out very carefully.</p> - -<p>Now it was Bek’s turn to be surprised.</p> - -<p>“I had never thought of doing that,” he said. So he, -too, tried to carve pictures of animals he had drawn.</p> - -<p>By and by other cave men began to be interested in -the pictures that Bek and Bolo made, and soon many of -the men were trying their skill. The women brought a -sort of red and brown clay, and painted the animals after -the men had drawn them on the cave walls.</p> - -<p>And although all this was thousands and thousands of -years ago, the drawings and paintings are still to be seen. -They tell us many things more than have been related -here about the cave men of Bolo’s time. They tell us -of another animal, more terrible than the cave bear or -the mammoth, the dreaded Sabre-Tooth, striped with -rich, velvety brown like a tiger, and strong and bloodthirsty<span class="pagenum">[40]</span> -as a lion. They tell us of the ways in which the -cave men fought and lived and learned, and so came to -know many things that were never dreamed of in the -days of Bolo. But all that is another story.</p> - -<p>What is of more interest to us just now is to know that -when Flame died, many years after the great hunt, Fisher -was made Keeper of the Great Fire in her stead. This -was the highest honor the Clan could show, excepting -only the honor they had shown to One Eye when they -made him their leader.</p> - -<p>“Bolo must learn many things,” said One Eye. “I am -growing old and the Clan must never again be without a -lawmaker. And the man who is to make the laws must -be fearless and wise and good.”</p> - -<p>It was long after that, however, before Bolo took his -place at the head of the Clan. For One Eye lived to an -old age, and became wiser and more just with every year.</p> - -<p>Little Antelope grew up as pretty and graceful as the -beautiful animal whose name she bore. When the young -Chief of another Clan, living in a valley far across the -hills, saw her as she sat sewing skins beside her mother, -and called to her to follow him, she did so gladly, for he -was tall and brave and handsome.</p> - -<p>There was another pretty maiden, too, whom Bolo -thought the loveliest he had ever seen. So, one day he -found a new cave, where no one had ever lived, and -made it ready for his own home.</p> - -<p>But how he won the maiden, and what brave deeds he -did in his long after years cannot be told here.
