There was a faint light in the bunk house, and another down by the horse corral.

As the boys watched, a man came out of the bunk house, and even in the dim light Whitey recognized him.

He was String Beans.
"Why," whispered Whitey, "I thought he was lame.

He doesn't even limp." "Him get well," Injun replied.
The light at the corral moved toward and joined that at the bunk house, and the two revealed a man leading three horses.
"It's Whiff!" gasped Whitey.

"I thought he was with the men at the Junction." "Him get back," Injun grunted, with meaning.
Absorbed in the scene being enacted before them, the boys watched in silence.
Bill Jordan had said that Injun slept with his mind open; that most Injuns did; that if they hadn't done that all these years there wouldn't be no Injuns--and no doubt Bill was right.
