"To-day?"
"No."
Peter gasped in disappointment, but still questioned quickly.
"Where did you see him?"
"Down near the camp. He came back again yesterday. He'd been away——"
"Yes, yes, I know. What did he say?"
"Oh, he was very peart—swaggered around like he owned the place and talked about a lot of money he was goin' to have. An' how he was——"
"Do you know where he took Beth Cameron?" broke in Peter again.
"No. I don't—My God—him!"
"Yes, him. You know what it means. He'd kill her if he dared."
