“You left him near the picket line of Lieutenant King’s troop, and when they got back across the border he sent him up to me.”

“King did not tell me.”

“You have seen the lieutenant?”

“We met in Chihuahua,” said Shoz-Dijiji.

“And you talked with him?”

“Yes.”

“But you were on the war path, and he was after you. How could you have met and talked?”

“King and Shoz-Dijiji went into the cattle business together.”

“What do you mean?” demanded Wichita.

“When you see King ask him. He will tell you.”
