"Yes. I thought you was needin' some about then."
"How did you come to find me?"
"Got lost. Hoss he took me there."
"Did you see any one on the trail?"
"Nope."
"Hear any shooting?"
"Nope. But I seen some turkeys."
"Well, I expect the sheriff will be here tomorrow. He'll want to talk to you. Answer him straight. Don't try to help me in any way. Just tell him what you know—not what you think."
"I sure will, boss. Wish Chance could talk. He could tell."
Corliss smiled faintly. "Yes, I suppose he could. You followed him to Fernando's camp?"
