Grace Harlowe’s Overland Riders Among the Kentucky Mountaineers

CHAPTER VII
6/18

There!" Grace pointed to a spot where the bushes had been lately crushed down.
She then laid a restraining hand on her companion's arm, and there they stood for a few moments, fixing the picture of the scene in their minds.
Grace finally parted the bushes and looked in, Miss Briggs peering over her shoulders.

Using extreme caution they stepped into the bushes, to one side of the disturbed spot, and there Grace got down on her knees and examined the ground with infinite pains.

She then crawled along a short distance, following the trail that had been made by whoever had passed through there.
