Although he had only his eyes to observe what was taking place, Buckhart grew greatly excited and eagerly proposed a dash into the valley for the purpose of aiding Curry.

“Steady, Brad, old man!” warned Dick. “We’re too far away for that. By the time we got there the whole thing would be over. The best we can do is to keep quiet and take care that we are not seen.”

“Who do you suppose those men are?” asked Buckhart.

“It doesn’t seem possible!” Dash Colvin was muttering to himself.

“What is it that doesn’t seem possible?” questioned Dick.

“Let me take your glass a moment,” requested Colvin.

“Well, of all things wonderful, this is the most remarkable!” he exclaimed.

“What is it?” questioned Dick impatiently.

“Yes, whatever is it you’re driving at?” demanded Buckhart.
