"Dan Baxter."
"Baxter!" came in a chorus.
"Yes. He was with that fellow who was at the hotel, the chap with the bushy hair," added Tom to Dick. "The man who asked so many questions."
"Were they on horseback?" asked Sam.
"Yes. When Baxter saw me, he looked frightened. I called to him to stop, but he wouldn't do it."
"Where were the pair going?" asked Dick with interest.
"In the same direction we are going."
"Perhaps we can catch up with them," went on Dick. "Anyway, it is worth trying."
A minute later all were in the saddle and on the trail once more.
