The young girl started off at once, and soon disappeared in the darkness.
Meanwhile the two prisoners were growing restless.
"Guess me and the man can march the pesky critters down to the boat," said Farmer Farrell, who was weary of watching the pair. "That is, if you don't mind going through the woods with us," he continued to Jack.
"Certainly, I'll go," answered the young machinist. "Will you stay here, Deb?"
"Yes, I may be needed," replied the girl. "We'll have to dress the shoulder when Meg returns."
A moment later the party started off, Mosey and Corrigan in the center, with the hired man behind.
Hardly had they left ere Max Pooler returned to his senses, and sitting up, suddenly looked around.
"Gone?" he ejaculated. "Did they leave my money? Did they leave me my shining gold and silver?"
"Yes, it's all there, so don't worry," replied Mont gently. "You must keep quiet; it is bad for your shoulder when you move."
Max Pooler lay back, and eyed the young man suspiciously.
