But he was not so quick but what Jack recognized him as the other man who had annoyed the young postmistress of Golden Crossing. "Well, they got away!" Jack said, regretfully, as he came back to Mr. Argent. "Perhaps it's just as well," answered the miner.
The man was unconscious, and, with little compunction, Jack rapidly searched through his pockets. In an inner one he came upon a package. With beating heart Jack pulled out the bundle.
