"Yes."
"I reckon the Lazy S M boys are lookin' for 'em."
"You guessed right first crack out of the box."
"Where are our boys holed up?"
"In a cave the other side of town. They're just beyond the big bend of the river. I'll take you there."
"You've seen 'em."
"No." Goodheart hesitated just a moment before he went on. "I was sent by the person who has seen 'em."
"Listens to me like a plant," jeered Yankie.
"Meanin' that I'm a liar?" asked Goodheart coldly.
