“Good! We’ll help ye, friend, all we can. Now let’s go in and talk over a good move.”
Diamond Jake and Silver Sam led the way into a tent which was pitched on the banks of the creek.
Frank found a seat upon a stump, and then the conversation began.
“Ye see,” began Silver Sam, “we know well enough that Harvey has got a claim up there in the hills.”
“Yes!”
“But we don’t propose to meddle with his property at all. Our claim is on t’other side of the range. But we can’t work it until we have done up Costello and his gang.”
“Exactly,” agreed Frank.
“Now the question is how shall we go to work to do that?”
There was a moment’s silence. Then Diamond Jake spoke:
“I’ve a plan, pards!”
