It is not in youth to grieve for long. They felt bad at leaving the
scene of these recent happy events; but presently, in anticipation of
the reunion with loved ones at home, this was temporarily forgotten.
Will bemoaned the fact that he had not one single film left.
"And there are so many things I'd like to take on the way home," he
sighed, "and which I let slip on the way up."
"Yes," remarked Jerry laughingly, "it's wonderful what game you see
when you haven't a gun. But what's the matter with you trying to get a
roll at the first town? Perhaps we may stop long enough, and they may
have photographic supplies at the station."
"Thank you for the suggestion, Jerry. It was a bright thought--for you;
but I mean to take advantage of it, and make inquiries."
Jerry gave him a queer look. Will was a fellow he could not fully
understand. He seemed to be made up of contradictions, sometimes simple,
and again shrewd; now as timid as a girl, and under certain conditions
showing the bravery of a lion. Jerry knew Bluff as he did his own
nature, and could dispute with him with energy, but in the case of Will
he was always glad to drop the subject before he found he had burned his
fingers.
