woodland ringing. The men stood silent like those hearing a benediction.
The singing ceased. Still they listened for half a moment. It was as if a

"It's Bim--the little vixen!" said Abe tenderly. "She's hiding here in
the woods somewheres."
Abe straightened up and peered through the bushes. The singing ceased.
"I can see yer curls. Come out from behind that tree--you piece o' Scotch
goods!" Abe shouted.

"Come on," Abe persisted. "There's a good-looking boy here and I want to
introduce you."
"Ask him to see if he can find me," said the voice of the girl from a
distance.
Abe beckoned to Harry and pointed to the tree behind which he had seen
her hiding. Harry stealthily approached it only to find that she had
gone. He looked about for a moment but could not see her. Soon they heard
a little call, suggesting elfland trumpets, in a distant part of the
wood. It was repeated three or four times; each time fainter and farther.
