Henry hasn't been at the cabin for over a year!" Mrs. Ellison mutters. "He went back to the forest." "Please call the police," you plead.  "Can't do that," she says. "Line got struck by lightning the other night. Bus driver said he'd report it to the phone company, but I guess he forgot." She walks to the back of the store and returns carrying a shotgun. "I'll just have to handle this myself. If this can stop a black bear, it can stop a couple of crooks," she says. "Now are you going to help me with that wood or arent' you? I can't gab all day." You think hard. You hate to leave Mrs. Ellison alone with two convicts on the loose. But if you go back to the lookout, Jason can radio for help. Of course if you leave, you'll risk meeting the convicts in the forest.

If you decide to stay with Mrs. Ellison, turn to page 88. If you go back through the forest, turn to page 32.
