She jumped to her feet on discovering that Horatio had another boy with him, and then upon seeing that it was not the one her heart was yearning after she uttered a pitiful wail, and fell back into her chair again.
Hugh wasted no time, but commenced telling her something of what he had heard from Horatio, connected with K.K.'s foolish determination to take in the entire course as though in the race.
"Of a certainty he's fallen and sprained an ankle somewhere along that cross-country road, Mrs.Kinkaid," he ended with.

"We mean to gather a few of the fellows, and if you'll give us permission to use your big car we intend to run up there and look that road over from end to end.

There is no doubt but what we'll find K.K.and fetch him back with us.

So please try and feel that things will turn out all right.

Make up your mind we won't come back without him, that's all there is to it." Somehow the very confidence shown in Hugh's words seemed to pass along to the almost distracted lady.
