He picked up his rifle and turned to move away. But even as he would have started the sound of hurrying footsteps halted him; and he began to pace up and down in front of the tent.
Two figures dashed toward him; behind them came the sound of shots.
"Hello!" said Chester to himself. "More trouble in camp. Wonder what's up now?"
The answer was to come sooner than he could have expected. As the two figures came closer, other figures appeared in the distance. There came the sound of revolver shots.
"This way!" cried a voice.
Chester raised his rifle, ready to take a hand in the proceedings himself should the occasion demand.
"This thing is getting rather complicated," he told himself.
The two approaching figures came closer rapidly. Chester gave an exclamation of pure astonishment.
