What a shout greeted them!

“He’s got her! She’s safe! Bully for you

th party crowded round them. Betty was car-
ried shoulder high all around the camp, the

papoose having been handed to Mary Mulligan

for safe keeping. Jim was clapped on the back
till he was sore, as he recounted in as few
words as possible the shooting of the falls and
the misadventure that followed.

“Bully Jim, bully for you!’ they still cried.
And Bully Jim was our hero’s name from that
day.
