At last they arrived at the landmarks which, to Albert Stevens, indicated the proximity of his possessions.
Evidently he himself, plodding northwards, passed over the road without seeing it in the gathering gloom; probably he struck it at some point where the ground was bad, and the dim trail in consequence disappeared entirely, as is the way with these prairie roads making them landmarks to be used with caution.
