There was a clatter of hoofs from the direction of the ranchhouse. Both men turned to confront a horseman who was coming rapidly toward them, and as he came closer Toban cried out in surprise: "Ed Bernse!" he said; "what in thunder are you doin' here?" "Trailin' a jail breaker!" said the latter. "That copper-skinned weazel we had in there slipped out some way.
As the latter was speaking to Bernse, Calumet stood before Betty, who, with Bob, had moved to the sitting-room door and was standing, pale, her eyes moist and brilliant with the depth of her emotions. Briefly, he told her what he had found in the clearing. "And the idol's gone," he concluded. "Telza's got it." "Thank God!" she exclaimed, devoutly.
You go back to Lazette," he said to Bernse, "an' tell the man who owns the horse that Calumet Marston will be glad to pay for it he's that damned glad he's got rid of the idol." Followed by Bernse, Calumet and Toban returned to the ranchhouse. When they neared it they were met by Dade and Malcolm, bearing between them the body of Neal Taggart.
Calumet directed them to the clearing, telling them briefly what they would find there, and then, with Toban and Bernse, continued on to the ranchhouse. Bernse hesitated at the door. "I reckon I'll be lightin' out for town," he said to the sheriff. "Wait," said the sheriff; "I'll be goin' that way myself, directly." Calumet had preceded Toban.
