A stranger, an' yet he seems ter know his way 'bout this yer camp most as well as I do meself. He's in the house right now, jawin' with mother. Seems he kinder knows her." "Knows her? Knows your mother? Knows Mee-Mee? I'm amazed! Your mother ain't bin outer this yer camp, not for years an' years. How c'n any stranger know her? What's the man's name? Where does he come from?" "Dunno, Boss; dunno."
When he was out of sight, Mee-Mee went up to Abe Harum. "You no savvy what he say," she said. "I savvy heap. He say Kiddie never, never come back. He say he catch Kiddie on trail, kill him, take him scalp." "I don't notion he came here ter say that, though," said Rube. "What d'you reckon he come for?" asked Abe. "Dunno," said Rube.

The stranger sat on the edge of the table, facing her, boyishly swinging a loose leg.

"I towed him along in the loop of my lariat, and fixed him up in one of your lean-to sheds. He's in need of some sticking plaster for a cut on his leg. If you'll come along, we'll go and attend to him, while Mee-Mee gets ready the breakfast." They went out to the shed.
Mother," he turned to Mee-Mee, "jus' you hustle back t' the homestead an' let the big dog loose, will yer?" "What in thunder d'you want the dog for?" questioned Abe. "I didn't think of it till he'd gone," returned Rube. "But jus' after you come along, he took out his tobacco pouch ter make a cigarette, but didn't make one.
