Lorraine thought longingly of Yellowjacket and his stubbornness and tried to devise some way of escape.

She could not believe that fate would permit Al Woodruff to carry out such a plan.
Lone would overtake them, perhaps,--and then she remembered that Lone would have no means of knowing which way she had gone.

If Hawkins and Senator Warfield came after them, her plight would be worse than ever.
Still, she decided that she must risk that danger and give Lone a clue.
She dropped a glove beside the trail, where it lay in plain sight of any one following them.

But presently Al looked over his shoulder, saw that one of her hands was bare, and tied Snake's reins to his saddle and his own horse to a bush.

Then he went back down the trail until he found the glove.
