- Mark tells Lucas that he overheard a plot to rob North Fork's bank. When Lucas questions him more closely about it, Mark, thinking that his father doesn't believe him, runs away from home.
- A surveying party camps near North Fork. Mark carries a milk supply to their campsite. No one is there, and Mark falls asleep in a tent while reading a surveying book. Meanwhile, two of the surveyors have murdered a third, and are planning a crime in North Fork. Mark awakens when they return. He hears just a little of their talk; just enough for him to think that something bad is going to happen. He tells Lucas, but Lucas is not convinced. Mark must persist, and Lucas must consider and reconsider, before deciding what to do.—Charles Delacroix
- Mark has become friendly with three men surveying nearby land for the railroad and even thinks he might become a surveyor one day. He overhears only a snippet of a conversation between two of them about something they plan on doing Sunday and the tone of their voices suggests they are up to no good. Lucas thinks he's exaggerating and letting his imagination get the better of him. A disappointed Mark decides to run away from home. While Lucas looks for him, he realizes Mark may have been onto something.—garykmcd
