"There it is, behind the bushes!" burst out the doctor's son. "I just saw its eyes shining!" As he spoke he raised his shotgun. But the eyes had disappeared. "I saw something," came from Giant. "See, it's moving---back of the huckleberry bush." Something was moving, that was evident, but what it was none of the young hunters could make out. Shep raised his gun again. "Shall I take a chance and fire?" he asked of the others. "Might as well," answered Whopper. "It couldn't be anything but a wild animal." "Wait," cried Snap. He raised his voice. "Who is there?" he called out. "Answer, or we'll shoot!" For reply there came a sound that thoroughly astonished the boys. It was the bark of a dog, low and uncertain. Then there stepped into view a collie, wagging his tail doubtfully. "A dog!" cried Giant. "Come here! come here!" he called, and gave an inviting whistle. Slowly the dog came forward, still wagging his tail doubtfully. When he was quite close he sat up on his haunches and began to move his fore paws up and down. |
