"They're trying to stampede our animals, just as they did the cattle that time. Look out, boys!" But nothing could be done against such numbers. The camp was overwhelmed in a daring raid, and though the boys and Hank did all they could, firing wildly in the air, they could not stand off the attack. Strangely enough, no effort was made to mistreat the boys or their companion.
"Well, then, raise your voice and cry out. I can give you no gold to-day." "No gold!" said Ephraim. "Am I again to be paid with cunning smiles and scornful words? You will withhold my gold from me?
