Above all, here, and here only, were observed the vestiges of a child's foot; and as it could be seen nowhere else, and the hard horse-track which traversed the wood of Warroch was contiguous to the spot, it was natural to think that the boy might have escaped in that direction during the confusion.

We tracked the step, Lowe and I, to the bank, near the horse-track, in Barrack Street, just where the water deepens there's usually five feet of water there, and that night there was little short of ten.
But at the last they struck upon a great horse-track, and followed it at their best pace for several miles, and yet no sign of Hereward. "Catch an Englishman," quoth the abbot. But that was not so easy. The poor folk had hidden themselves, like Israel of old, in thickets and dens and caves of rocks, at the far-off sight of the Norman tyrants, and not a living soul had appeared for twenty miles.
Of similar interest to me is a turn in an old Massachusetts road, over which, boy and man, I have traveled hundreds of times; one of those delightful back-roads, half road and half lane, where the grass grows between the horse-track and the wheel-track, while bushes usurp what ought to be the sidewalk.
Thus he reached the village of Hardington, which he quickly cleared, and took the well-defined road to Bewley a road adorned with milestones and set out with a liberal horse-track at either side.
She ran along the horse-track for perhaps a rod, and then disappeared among the palmetto leaves. Meanwhile, two or three days before, while returning from St. Mark's, whither I had gone for a day on the river, I had noticed from the car window a swamp, or baygall, which looked so promising that I went the very next morning to see what it would yield.
From the north came the trail of two cavalry horses, shod alike, both at the lope, both draggy and weary. From the point where lay Donovan and his steed there was but one horse-track. Whirling sharply around, the rider had sent his mount at thundering gallop back across the valley; then a hundred yards away, in long curve, had reined him to the southeast.
Riding with undiminished speed along a kind of wild horse-track, we turned the corner of a high and somewhat ruinous wall of loose stones, and making a sudden wheel we found ourselves in a small quadrangle, surmounted on two sides by dilapidated stables and kennels, on another by a broken stone wall, and upon the fourth by the front of the lodge itself.
"I can get all the roar and rush of wind I want in front of an electric fan, and no danger." He stood by, looking out over the oval track while I took three cinders from Tish's eye. "Great track!" he said. "It's a horse-track, of course, but it's in bully shape the county fair is held there and these fellows make a big feature of their horse-races.
