In response to Reuben’s startling questions both men halted and looked keenly in the direction in which he was pointing. “Is that where your camp was?” inquired Rat. “It looks like it,” replied Reuben quietly as he hastened toward the spot he had discovered on the plains. Both were silent until they arrived at the place they were seeking. Then, after a hasty inspection, Reuben said quickly: “This is where Jean and I camped last night.”
