Red Mill when she got back to the station?

CHAPTER IV

THE GATE OF THE GREEN EYES

It was a dark lane, beneath overhanging oaks, that met and intertwined
their branches from either side-- this was the Wilkins Corners road.
And it was very steep and stony-- up hill and down dale-- with deep
ruts in places and other spots where the Spring rains had washed out
the gravel and sand and left exposed the very foundations of the
world.

It seemed as though no bicyclist, or motor-cyclist would have chosen
this road to travel after dark. Yet there was a narrow path at the
side-- just wide enough for Ruth and Doctor Davison to walk abreast,
and Reno to trot by the girl's side which seemed pretty smooth.

"We don't want to go by the spot, Doctor," said one of the men walking
ahead with the lights. "Don't the dog show no signs of looking for
Tom?"

"Where's Tom, Reno? Where's Tom?" asked Ruth, earnestly, believing
that the dog would recognize his master's name.

The mastiff raised his muzzle and barked sharply again, but trotted
onward.

"He might have fallen down any of these gullies, and we'd miss him,
it's so dark," observed the previous speaker.
