A faint nicker and trampling of hoofs told that horses were hobbled in the vicinity. “That is all I can stand now,” he said. “It is too wonderful.” “But when we did come it was our turn to be disappointed.” Here the cavalry officer took up the story. “Bob Hazard and his friends had got ahead of us too.”.
