The other specimen is a flat boulder of white quartz, obtained in Gasconade County, Missouri, which bears on one of its sides the mark of a naked foot, each toe being distinctly scooped out and indicated. The footmark is surrounded by a number of cup-shaped depressions.
'I 've seen him at last; grant it be for the last time! That's my prayer, in the name of the Virgin and Trinity, said Guy. 'And now let's retrace our steps: perchance we shall hunt up that bauble of yours, but I'm not fit for mortal work this night longer. Burdened by their black encounter, the two passed again behind the Cathedral. Farina's hungry glances devoured each footmark of their track.
Though it froze his fingers and meant a long delay, it was well worth while, for he had undeniable evidence of a man's footmark, without any racquet, made since the rain previous to the last snowfall. It was probably at least a week old. Again he examined the trap carefully. Not a hair, not a blood mark, not a sign to show that any fox had been in it. If it had been robbed, an expert had done it.
Not far from the top of a hill near Barmouth in Wales, in the middle of a rough path, may be seen a flat stone, in which there is a footmark about the natural size, locally known as "Llan Maria," or Mary's step, because the Virgin Mary once, it is supposed, put her foot on this rock, and then walked down the hill to a lower height covered with roots of oak-trees.
"It is clearly the tread of a shoe. It is remarkably broad; a splay-foot, one would say. Curious, because, so far as one can trace any footmark in this mud-stained corner, one would say it was a more shapely sole. However, they are certainly very indistinct. What's this under the side table?" "Mr. Douglas's dumb-bells," said Ames. "Dumb-bell there's only one. Where's the other?"
They must a made some hyar in the mud, while toatin' thar things to the dug-out. The durned rain's washed 'em out every footmark o' 'em." "But the horses? what of them? They could not have gone off in the canoe?" "I war just thinkin' o' them. The one you seed with Stebbins must a been hired, I reck'n; an' from Kipp's stables.
I s'arched the ground over I headed the band of scouts who found him remember that! Nobody had been near the lick but Jonas. There wasn't a footmark for rods around. Even an Injin couldn't have got near enough to strike Jonas down with his gun-butt " "You believe that wound on his head, then, was made by no deer's antler?" exclaimed Enoch, eagerly. "Tut, tut!
"Here is the footmark of Dingaan," I said to myself, and walked to and fro, groaning heavily. Presently I found a knot of men who were of the people that had escaped the slaughter, hiding in the mealie-fields lest the Slayers should return, and from them I drew the story. I listened in silence, for, my father, I was grown old in misfortune; then I asked where were the Slayers of the king?
He, too, stooped and looked in the opening. Abruptly everything altered for him. He wondered that his physical surroundings should remain the same, that the eager faces beside him should retain their familiar lines. Against the back-board of the bureau, where it would fit neatly when the drawer was in place, lay a plaster cast of a footmark.
"You say that three people came out form the flat while you were waiting downstairs," said he at last. "Did you observe them closely?" "Yes, I did." "Was there a fellow about thirty, black-bearded, dark, of middle size?" "Yes; he was the last to pass me." "That is your man, I fancy. I can give you his description, and we have a very excellent outline of his footmark.
