"We can go further, but the time is not ripe. This is only the beginning of your retribution."
"You are robbers! This is only a trick to serve your purpose! I will have a posse after you within ten minutes after your departure!"
"Will you?"
"I swear it!"
"Then perhaps we had better end the business now. Shall I arrest you, make known your true name here, and let the citizens of this camp deal with you as you deserve?"
"Go, and make the best of what you have got. We will meet again some day, and then—"
"And then," said Dick, grimly.
He gave his men a signal and they left the room, then Susana, and last of all, Dick.
At the door he stopped for a last word with the outlaw, upon whom had fallen the first blow of a just vengeance.
"This is but the beginning," Dick said. "You know what to expect at my hands. I have drawn a cordon around you that you cannot hope to escape, and it is only a matter of time."
