It was a terribly uncanny sight.
"Well ?" said Terry sharply.

The place was beginning to get on his nerves too.
"Terry," I said uneasily, "I never saw them before.

I thought I examined everything thoroughly, but I was so excited I suppose--" "What did you make of them ?" he interrupted, whirling about on Mattison who was looking over our shoulders.
"I--I didn't see them," Mattison stammered.
"For heaven's sake, men," said Terry impatiently.

"Do you mean they weren't there or you didn't notice them ?" The sheriff and I looked at each other blankly, and neither answered.
Terry stood with his hands in his pockets frowning down at the marks, while the rest of us waited silently, scarcely daring to think.

Finally he turned away without saying a word, and, motioning us to keep back, commenced examining the path which led up the incline.
