"Wh-what is the matter? Wh-where am I?" he stammered, gazing around stupidly. "You've been asleep and dreaming," explained Snap. "You thought you were after a bear." "So I was---after a dozen bears. Did I---I kill any?" "There are no bears here. You were only dreaming." "Oh!" Whopper rubbed his eyes. "No bears at all?" "None but what we shot yesterday. You went to sleep and the next thing we knew you were out here, pulling at this bush." "Where am I?" "Back of the cabin," put in Shep. "You had better go to bed again."

"We have had some good fun here." "We must come back some time, by all means," declared Shep. "Maybe this winter." "Yes, some hunting up here in mid-winter wouldn't go bad," came from Giant. "We could bring snowshoes along and have jolly times." "That's the talk!" ejaculated Whopper. "I have always wanted to go hunting on snowshoes, And we could build a big snowhouse, too."
