the bravest young men came forward and said that they would follow him. And so the young men agreed to be brothers and to help one another in times of need. They agreed upon signs which they should use when they wanted to meet. And when Fleetfoot started homeward, the young men escorted him. Of the adventures on the way to the Bison clan's cave there is little time to tell. All the young men were faithful. And as they journeyed on their way, they recalled Fleetfoot's brave deeds in a victory song. #THINGS TO DO# _Show how the people acted from the time Fleetfoot threw his spear until they knew who he was. Draw pictures which will illustrate the story._ _Make such a hunting dance as you think Fleetfoot led.

It was he who shouted the glad tidings to all the Cave-men. And though he was lame, he was the first who ran ahead to greet him.
