"I reckon yer couldn't catch up to ther galoot, eh, Wild?" remarked Cheyenne Charlie.
"Oh, I caught up with him, all right," was the reply. "Things worked just the way I wanted them to."
"Is that so? Good enough!"
"Yes. I caught up to Cap Roche, and I was just in time to see him disappear."
"Disappear?" echoed Arietta. "Then he fooled you, after all?"
"Oh, no. He didn't fool me, Et, for I found where he went."
"Git out!" exclaimed the scout, jubilantly.
"Yes, I was right there in the proper time. But I'll tell you all about it."
