CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. 

IN WHICH GLUMM TAKES TO HUNTING ON THE MOUNTAINS FOR CONSOLATION, AND FINDS IT UNEXPECTEDLY, WHILE ALRIC PROVES HIMSELF A HERO. 

"I go to the fells to-day," said Glumm to Alric one morning, as the latter opened the door of Glummstede and entered the hall. 

"I go also," said Alric, leaning a stout spear which he carried against the wall, and sitting down on a stool beside the fire to watch Glumm as he equipped himself for the chase. 

"Art ready, then? for the day is late," said Glumm. 

"All busked," replied the boy.--"I say, Glumm, is that a new spear thou hast got?" 

"Aye; I took it from a Swedish viking the last fight I had off the coast. We had a tough job of it, and left one or two stout men behind to glut the birds of Odin, but we brought away much booty. This was part of it," he added, buckling on a long hunting-knife, which was stuck in a richly ornamented sheath, "and that silver tankard too, besides the red mantle that my mother wears, and a few other things--but my comrades got the most of it." 

"I wish I had been there, Glumm," said Alric. 

"If Hilda were here, lad, she would say it is wrong to wish to fight." 

"Hilda has strange thoughts," observed the boy. 

"So has Erling," remarked his companion. 

"And so has Ada," said Alric, with a sly glance. 

Glumm looked up quickly. "What knowest _thou_ about Ada?" said he.  QUESTIONS:
