"It's a Two Crow Tree," retorted George glibly.
"I wish I was dead sure of that," spoke up Zeke.
"Don't you think it is?" demanded Grant.

If we find it then we may be pretty sure that we're on the right track."
"How will you know?" inquired John.
"Have to use our common sense," said the guide sharply.
