Struck me as kind of curious, because if he was looking for something, he'd do better in daylight." Scott glanced at Thirlwell, who remembered having come upon Driscoll when he was apparently engaged in searching the pools.

It was obvious to him, and he thought to Scott, that the fellow had chosen the twilight in order to avoid being seen.
"Did Driscoll see you ?" Thirlwell asked.
"I don't know; the boys tell me he's a trapper," Drummond answered with a smile.
"I suppose that means you kept out of sight and watched?
But go on with your tale." "One evening I was sitting among the rocks.

It was very calm and getting dark when I heard a rattle and a splash.

I reckoned Steve was looking hard for something if he trod on a loose stone." Thirlwell nodded.

Driscoll was a skilful trapper and a trapper does not disturb loose stones.
