CHAPTER V.
A SIDEWINDER.
"Feel like a long gallop this morning?" Sue asked the boys at breakfast a few days later.
"Never felt more like it," Bob replied and Jack nodded assent.
"Where you going?" Jeb asked.
"I thought I take them over and show them the Owl's Head."
"That's quite a piece."
"Only a little over twenty miles. We'll take a lunch along and be back in time for supper."
"I'm afraid it's hardly safe," Jeb said slowly.
"Oh, bother. You don't suppose Hains and his gang have been hanging around all this time without doing anything. That's not his style and you know it. If he had been near here we'd have heard from him long before this."
