The last night that all in the train were to encamp together, a large fire was built and all gathered around it to talk over their plans. Guy sat by Aggie's side and tried to talk to her, but he could not help listening to what was said, and that, with the knowledge that they were so near California--their journey's end,--made him feel so miserable that he walked away from the fire, and hid himself in a dark place, and cried as if his heart would break.
