At last the Indian who had been chief spokesman said, "We have come to ask if two white men have come to your camp within a few days."
"What do you want to know for?" asked Zeke quickly.
Whatever his reasons may have been for inquiring the Navajo did not offer any explanations.
"Yes, there were two men here but they have gone," said Zeke slowly.
"Did one of them have a scar across his cheek that reached almost from his nose to his ear?"
"Yes."
"Was the other man larger and heavier?"
"That's right," said Fred, aware that both his companions were as deeply interested as he in the conversation.
"Where did they go?"
"We do not know," spoke up Zeke. "We didn't invite them to come here and they didn't stop to say good-by when they left."
