ground, he sprang toward Fleetfoot. And the Cave-men grasped their
weapons and rushed to the spot.

They found the tiger dying from the effect of the first blow. They
watched his death struggles. Then they looked for the man who had
hurled a spear that struck a death blow.

If Fleetfoot had not been struck senseless, he might have made his
escape. But as it happened, the Cave-men found him lying on the
ground, and they raised him up and carried him to a spot near the
bright camp-fire.

#THINGS TO DO#

_Show on your sand-map where the clans had camped. Show where you
think Fleetfoot watched. Show where the ceremonies were performed._

_Draw one of these pictures:_--
_Fleetfoot bids farewell to Willow-grouse._
_The clans seated around the camp-fire._
_Fleetfoot watching the dance._
_Fleetfoot saves Scarface's life._

_Watch a cat as it springs upon a mouse, and then think of the
tiger as he sprang upon Scarface. Model it in bas-relief._

strangers came she always inquired for tidings of the lost boy.

And so when Eagle-eye heard what the people said, she pushed her way
through the crowd. The moment she saw him, she cried, "Fleetfoot!" and
then bent over his lifeless form.

Chew-chew, hearing Eagle-eye's cry, hurried to the spot. She knelt by
his side and murmured his name, and thought of Scarface when he was
young.

Those who stood near turned and asked, "Who is Fleetfoot?" Many of the
