"I never liked Prescott, but to-night's awful work is something that I'd have been willing to have saved him from if there had been a way to do it.
"Which way are you heading ?" asked Bayliss suddenly.
"To Dr.Bentley's.

If he's at home, I want to hustle him to the 'Blade' office.

I believe he's the Hazelton family's physician.
Bayliss, any sign of attention to Hazelton on our part will look well for us at a time when we're likely to be asked many questions about how we came to be so near to their camp.

We've got to be mighty careful, or in the excitement that will follow the awful fate of Prescott and his friends the town might grow so hot for us that we'd be all but lynched.

Now, no one can prove that we weren't on a trip, and that our car broke down on the road; that we heard the fire of rifles, and the next thing we knew Hazelton, badly wounded, came rushing up to us, and that we brought him in as fast as we could.
