Kitsong broke in, "I don't believe all this—"
"When was that?"
"Night before last, at about this time or a little earlier."
"Was he on foot?"
"No; he came on horseback."
"Did he ride away on horseback?"
"Yes, though he could scarcely mount. I was surprised to see how well he was able to manage his horse."
"Did you tell your father of this?"
"No."
"Why not?"
