“Maybe.”
“Look here, son, do you suspect that they know anything about it?”
“Who was that detective that used to say ‘suspect everyone and everything’? No, frankly I don’t. We came here first and the ghost was busy long before that so how could they be mixed up in it?”
“Of course that’s a point in their favor, but after all it doesn’t prove anything. One or all of them, for that matter might have been around here somewhere without actually stopping at the camp.”
“That’s true too. But really you know we have no real reason to suspect them. They certainly are refined people and why should they be up here for any such purpose as that? If it wasn’t for two or three litle things, about which we have spoken, I’d never have given a thought to them in that connection.”
“I know what you mean and I feel the same way.”
“One thing is pretty sure and that is that if they are mixed up in it they are not the ones who are actually doing it. They couldn’t have shot that arrow the other day you know.”
“And that’s another point in their favor.”
“Well, I guess we’ll have to return a verdict of not—What was that?”
