The first question , what was to be done with the little brown stranger , was solved that night . He solved it himself . The girls had decided upon maintaining a watch . Lucile was on the second watch at something like one o'clock in the morning , when she saw the brown boy stirring in his place by the fire .

With a gliding motion he carried his two blankets to a shadowy spot and there folded each one , laying one upon the other .
