Kate looked at him in wonder. She could not understand the meaning of the exclamation.
“Miss Treveling?” she said.
“Yes; was she not with me, when you discovered me helpless?”
“No,” said Kate, in utter astonishment.
“Why, this is a greater mystery than even the attack on me. Miss Treveling was with me in the ravine when I was shot.”
“She was?”
“Yes; what could have become of her?”
“I can not guess.”
“Could she have returned to Point Pleasant for assistance?”
“She would not have left you to bleed to death.”
