"Give me the money!"
"You lettee Miss Anna and Missy Eloise go?" Hop went on asking.
"Yes, I'll let them go right now."
To make good his words he cut the ropes that held them helpless and told the two girls to walk on out.
Surprised at their sudden release, they lost no time in obeying.
Hop handed over the roll of counterfeit money.
"Now you can go, too," he said, nodding to the Chinaman.
"How aboutee Misler Wild?"
"Well, we'll keep him a little while longer, I reckon."
Anna and Eloise lost no time in getting out of the cave.
