 your little cart in the wagon too, so
that you may get it home safely." When all was ready, the wagon began to
move away, and as they drove off, they heard the voices of the robbers
calling after them, "good-bye, brave boys, we wish you good luck."

Little Eddie sat quite still beside Carl; as they drove away he held tight
fast to his brother, and neither of them spoke a word.

They were astonished at all they had seen and heard, while they were in the
robbers' castle, and now they were once more in the free and open woods,
they could not do as they pleased, but sat with their eyes bound up, not
knowing where they were going. Carl did not doubt the words of the men who
told him that no harm should come to him, but at times he had to comfort
and assure poor little Eddie, for he sat trembling with fear. After they
had driven several miles, and the man who was with them had answered their
questions as to how far they were from home now, the wagon stopped and the
man got out saying, "Now boys, you are on the road that leads direct to
your home and I am going to leave you very soon, but before I go you must
promise me not to untie the bandage from your eyes, till you hear a long
whistle, which will blow from my horn, after leaving you; you will then
undo the bandage, and find something beside you to take to your mother."
Saying this, the man took the boys from the wagon, and setting them
carefully down, he lifted their cart out also and shaking hands with the
still astonished boys, and wishing them good-bye, he sprang into the wagon
and they heard him drive rapidly along the road.

They sat for some time very quiet, until the loud, long whistle from a
distant horn told them the time of their captivity was at an end, and
hastily tearing off the bandage from their eyes they looked eagerly around
on all sides. Not a vestige of the wagon could be seen. It had been turned
just at the spot where they had been left, and whether it went back the
same way, or took another road, they never knew. But what was their
surprise, when they turned to look for their own little cart, to
your little cart in the wagon too, therefore 
 that you may make it home safely. " When all was ready, the wagon began to 
 go away, and as they drove off, they hear the voice of the robbers 
 calling after them, " good - bye, brave boy, we wish you good luck. " 

 Little Eddie sit down quite still beside Carl; as they drove away he held tight 
 fast to his brother, and neither of them talk a word. 

 They were astonished at all they had examine and heard, while they were in the 
 robbers' castle, and now they were once more in the complimentary and open woods, 
 they could not do as they pleased, but sat with their eye bound up, not 
 knowing where they were going. Carl did not doubt the words of the men who 
 tell him that no harm should come to him, but at times he had to comfort 
 and assure poor little Eddie, for he sat trembling with fear. After they

 question as to how far they were from home now, the wagon check and the 
 man got out saying, " Now son, you are on the road that leads direct to 
 your home and I am going to leave you very soon, but before I go you must 
 predict me not to untie the bandage from your eyes, till you hear a long 
 whistle, which will blow from my horn, after leaving you; you will then 
 unmake the bandage, and find something beside you to take to your mother. " 
 Saying this, the man took the son from the wagon, and setting them 
 carefully down, he lift their handcart out also and shaking hands with the 
 still astonished boy, and wishing them good - bye, he jump into the wagon 
 and they hear him drive quickly along the road. 

 They sat for some time very hushed, until the loud, long pennywhistle from a 
 distant horn told them the time of their captivity was at an end, and 
 hastily tearing off the bandage from their eyes they looked eagerly around 
 on all sides. Not a trace of the wagon could be seen. It had been change by reversal 
 just at the spot where they had been left, and whether it went back the 
 same way, or took another road, they never sleep together. But what was their 
 surprise, when they turned to look for their own little cart, to
