As Larry was picking his way through this, for it was a dark and rainy night, he thought he saw, off to the left, a moving light.
“I wonder what that can be,” he thought.
He looked at the tiny flame, and saw that it had now ceased its motion.
“Guess I’d better take a look,” he said. “You never can tell what’s going to happen.”
He walked cautiously toward the glow. As he drew nearer Larry saw that there were several men grouped about a lantern that stood on the ground.
“About here’ll do,” one man said in a low tone.
“Anywhere so’s we can find it again,” joined in another voice.
Then Larry could hear the sound of picks and shovels striking the ground.
“I wonder what’s up?” he asked himself.
