"Right here we part," said Hank at the conclusion of the meal.
"How am I to spend the time ?" "As your fancy strikes you.

As I told you, it will be soon 'nough fur you to git back to camp to-morrer morning, but you must keep your eyes open.

It may be that Tozer, having larned that your father is the man he meant to bleed, will try to make a prisoner of you." Jack Dudley's eyes flashed.
"Let him try it! I should like to be in Fred's company." "Mebbe you wouldn't be so well suited as you think, but look out fur snares in your path--that's all I've got to say.

His purpose, as already intimated, was to discover if possible Motoza and Tozer, but especially the former.
There was little doubt that the Sioux would communicate with his prisoner during the day, or, if Fred Greenwood was not among the living, his unrelenting enemy was likely to give some evidence of where his taking off had occurred.
