blame our enemy for this accident," declared Jane.

"I wonder if he did push Tommy over?" Margery's eyes were large as she
voiced the question.

"Nonsense!" retorted Harriet Burrell.

"Yes. That's what I say," agreed Miss Elting.

"I suppose she will lay it to me," chuckled the guide.

"Yeth, I ought to," nodded Tommy. "But we agreed not to fight any
more, didn't we?"

"We did," he replied very gravely, "and we are not going to, are we?"

Tommy shook her head.

"Not before to-morrow, I gueth. I'm too tired to fight. Did I
furnithh you with exthitement enough for one night?"

"Will you listen to her?" laughed Crazy Jane. "Little Tommy Thompson
fell off the mountain to furnish us with excitement. Of course we are
satisfied. We forgive you for all your tricks, and we don't care how
much excitement you furnish if you will only keep your feet on
something solid. We came within a little of all going over with you in

"Ithn't that nithe?" glowed Tommy. She was recovering her spirits. "I

is down there somewhere. We ought to have it before going on in the
morning. You may keep mine for to-night, if you wish. You are going
to sit up the rest of the night, are you not, Mr. Grubb?"

"Yes. I'll take no more chances with this party on Sokoki Leap. I'll
keep the fire going the rest of the night, too. Fix your blankets so
your feet will be toward the fire. The Indians would say, 'Indian keep
him head cool, feet warm.'"

"We have done better than that this evening," answered Jane laughingly.
"We managed to keep our head and feet warm at the same time."

"I should say we have," mused Harriet. "But what about the blanket?
We do not wish to lose it."

"I'll go down and get it in the morning," said Janus. "You needn't
wait breakfast for me; I'll have something to eat before leaving. But
do be careful. I don't want to have the little one falling do
