drew up the half dollar, and put it, all wet and dripping, into James's
hands.
The boys thanked Jonas for getting up the money, and then they asked him
to keep both pieces for them until they went home. Then they began to
think of the wigwam again.
"We will make the window as you want it, James," said Rollo; "I am
willing."
"No," said James, "I was just going to say we would make it your way. I
rather think it would be better to make it towards the land."
"Why can you not have two windows?" said Jonas.
"So we can," said both of the boys; and they immediately went to work
collecting branches and weaving them in, leaving a space for a window
both sides. Their quarrelsome feelings were all gone, and they talked
very pleasantly at their work until it was time for them to go home to
dinner.
