“Oui, dey tak’ it all. Dey no come back.”
“I reckon you’re right, but it beats me,” Bob declared as he led the way to their cabin. “What do you make of it, Jack?” he asked as soon as they had closed the door behind them.
“Why, that they had something to do with that other gang. What do you think?”
“Looks as though you were right, but how could that fellow signal to them from the mountain? You can’t see it from here.”
“See it from hill over there,” Kernertok said.
“That’s so,” Bob declared. “I never thought of that. It’s only a little way to the top from here and now I think of it, Mr. Sleeper wasn’t with us after nine o’clock last night, you remember.”
“But just what do you suppose was the connection between them?”
“It’s no use guessing. Maybe we’ll know sometime.”
“Well, their going makes it all the more likely that we’ve seen the last of the ghost.”
“I suppose so,” Bob agreed.
