"No," replied the Indian abruptly. "Say nothing. Do you know whether they are coming back to your camp or not?"
"I hope not," said Zeke.
"Have you any reason to think they were bad men?"
"I don't know nothin' about them, just as I told you," responded Zeke gruffly. "As I said, the only way you can find that out is to go where they are."
"And do you know whether they started toward Thorn's Gulch?"
"Where?" demanded Fred quickly.
"Thorn's Gulch."
"What makes you think they were headed for Thorn's Gulch?" demanded Zeke.
"I didn't say we knew," said the Indian solemnly. "I asked you if you knew."
"Well, we don't," said Zeke. "What is there about Thorn's Gulch that makes you think they might want to go there?"
