Terry and Prim stepped back to let Sally talk with Dan alone.
“What are those men planning to do, Dan? Have you found out anything?” demanded Sally.
“I heard them say they were soon going to take the boys back to the States. They talk straight enough. I don’t know which to believe, these fellows or the girls you have.”
“If you’re wise, you’ll believe what I tell you. The idea of you being taken in by them! A lot of crooks!”
“I’m not taken in by them, Sally. I have their number. They’re not playing fair, I know that. If they were, they wouldn’t try to cheat me out of that fifty dollars they promised. But are your girls on the level?”
“You bet they are,” said Sally.
“Then I’ll throw in with you and tell you everything those fellows said. I heard them talking and I have a tip about where those kidnapped boys are.”
“Where?” demanded Sally. “Tell me, quick! Don’t keep us waiting!”
“Us! What do you mean?” demanded Dan. “You mean your friends?”
“Come and talk to them yourself. The girls are right here. They escaped,” said Sally as she drew the boy down the trail.
