A missing cow leads into a trap
The story opens in Greville, a small settlement in what will become Missouri. Fred Linden, who is sixteen, and Terry Clark, a cheerful Irish orphan of fifteen, set out to find Brindle, a cow that has not come home.
They cross the creek in Fred's bark canoe and follow her tracks. Then they hear her bell, lose it, and quarrel over direction, so each goes a different way. Fred finds Brindle grazing quietly with no bell at all, and then he hears the bell ring far off. He understands that someone is using it as bait.
The lesson comes early. In this country, a small oddity can mean real danger, and the boys have left their guns at home. Fred rushes off to warn his friend, who is already walking toward the sound.
