CHAPTER XIII.
A BLAZED WARNING "Well, we gave them a run, didn't we ?" crowed Hippy.
"I reckon ye'd better pack and git out of here right lively," advised the guide.
Tom Gray agreed that Peg Tatem would miss no opportunity to take revenge on the Overland Riders for what they had done to him, and it was decided to break camp and move at once, the forest woman being confident that she could keep in the right direction once she found a lumber road that lay to the right of them a couple of miles away.
Weary as they were, the Overlanders were quite willing to get away without loss of time from the scene of their troubles.

Their equipment had suffered some, but none was left behind.

While they were packing, Tom, in order to make them understand that they had gained the ill-will of desperate men, decided to tell them of the dynamiting of the tree, and declared that it was his belief that Peg Tatem's lumberjacks had done the deed, intending that the tree should fall on the camp while they were asleep.
"There are fellows in Forty-three's gang that were in the mob at Bisbee's Corners," declared Tom with emphasis.
"Are they likely to follow us ?" asked Elfreda.
"I don't believe they will stray far from their own camp, but they may try to get us before we leave here.

Therefore let's go.

They have work to do in their own camp, you see," reminded Tom.
Packing and breaking camp were accomplished quickly.
