Chapter II
AT THE HAUNTED MILL. Once more the little squad of scouts resumed their forward movement. Matty remained at their head, as before. This game was growing more delightful to him every minute, and some of the others were feeling the same way. Of course it was easy work for those who came after, and the second bunch, headed by Mark Cummings, would have, as Red expressed it, a "snap."
