"That Buffalo Bill hears your story as I have, for he believes in your innocence most thoroughly, and will be most happy to welcome you back to life."
"I will be guided by you, sir, but some one is coming."
"It is Buffalo Bill," cried Frank Powell, and just then the scout rode into the camp.
CHAPTER XXXIX.
THE OUTLAW'S CONFESSION.
When Buffalo Bill went on his way down into the Grand Cañon, he continued on until he discovered just where the outlaws had made their retreat. This done, he retraced his way as rapidly as possible, and at once went back on the trail to where he had left his horse.
The sun was just setting as he neared the spot, and he approached carefully, for he was not sure that some one had not been there and discovered the animal.
Just as he caught sight of his horse he also saw that there was some one there, a horseman who had just ridden up to the spot.
The face of the horseman was masked, and this told the story in an instant.
