"Do you know that the James Boys generally prefer to make their camp in just such hollows as this is?"
"Is that so?" asked Jack. "Then you have an idea that by following the lone horseman we have accidentally run into the outlaw's encampment?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, I'm going ahead to see."
"I'll go with you, if you like."
"Very well; arm yourself."
They procured a pair of deadly pneumatic rifles and revolvers of Jack's invention that hurled explosive ballets.
Then they left the stage in Tim's care.
Alighting, they crept toward the hollow.
In a few minutes they reached it.
