Excerpt from A New Chapter in an Old Story: Being an Interesting Account of the Strange Steps by Which a Great Modern Business Has Grown Out of Ancient Conditions Together With a Look Into the Future
The men and women in the Cave Colony suddenly found that one bright-eyed young fellow, with a little straighter forehead than the others, was beating them all at hunting. During weeks he had been going away mysteriously, for hours each day. Now, whenever he left the camp he was sure to bring home game, while the other men would straggle back for the most part empty-handed.
