Excerpts from the book
Just as Bob had anticipated, it was found that the narrow pass served somewhat as the neck of the bottle. Perhaps it was the only way whereby cattle could enter or leave the secret valley lying between the several spurs of the high ridge. By blocking this pass with rocks, as had apparently been done, there was little chance of any wandering on the part of the trapped herd. The two boys had to clamber over these rocks. Bob could see that they had recently been moved to the position they now occupied. “I wonder how the old chap ever made it?” he murmured, as he went down the other side of the barrier. Frank chuckled, for it happened that just then his thoughts were roving in exactly the same quarter that the words spoken by his chum would indicate held Bob’s attention. “Now, you’re thinking of Old Baldy, eh Bob?” he asked, softly.
