CHAPTER V.

A SHOT FROM AMBUSH.


Up, up and still up the road that Colonel Edwards, Hal and Stubbs had
selected continued, winding first to the right and then to the left
until all three had practically lost all sense of direction. Hal
mentioned this.

"Don't know just where we are," he said.

"No," agreed Colonel Edwards. "However, it doesn't make much difference.
We'll be around here for several days. Chances are the sun will come out
before we get ready to leave and then we can get our bearings."

"Maybe there won't be any sun," said Stubbs.

"There you go again," said Hal. "Of course there'll be a sun. What's the
use of hunting trouble?"

"I'm not hunting trouble," Stubbs disclaimed. "I just said maybe there
won't be any sun."

Hal threw up both hands in a gesture of dismay.
