"Do you see that biggest tree, with the root stretching out halfway across to the opposite one ?" "No, it's further to the right and abreast of the dead brush," interrupted Dunn quickly, with a sudden revelation that this was the spot where he had found the dead bear in the night Teresa escaped.
"That's so," responded Brace, in astonishment.
"And the opening is on the other side, opposite the dead brush," said Dunn.
"Then you know it ?" said Brace suspiciously.
"I reckon!" responded Dunn, grimly.

"That's enough! Fall back!" To the surprise of his companion, he lifted his head erect, and with a strong, firm step walked directly to the tree.

Reaching it, he planted himself squarely before the opening.
"Halloo!" he said.
There was no reply.

A squirrel scampered away close to his feet.

Brace, far in the distance, after an ineffectual attempt to distinguish his companion through the intervening trunks, took off his coat, leaned against a tree, and lit a cigar.
"Come out of that cabin!" continued Dunn, in a clear, resonant voice.
"Come out before I drag you out!" "All right, 'Captain Scott.' Don't shoot, and I'll come down," said a voice as clear and as high as his own.
