"Have you forgotten something?" Stuart looked back at the front door in momentary indecision. "Ye-es," he answered. "I did forget something. But it doesn't matter," he added, cheerfully, taking Sloane's arm. "Come on," he said, "and so Seldon made a hit, did he? I am glad and tell me, old man, how long will we have to wait at Gib for the P. & O.?"
Probably a squad of the same gang out there fighting Seldon. Trouble with the Colonel is he takes the affair too seriously; imagines he is actually on the trail, and proposes to remain out all night. I became tired of such foolishness and rode back." "You mean you left? Deserted?" "Oh, hardly that," lazily. "You see I was sent out with a detachment to ride down the Lewiston road.
"Do not speak of it, Miss Seldon, for the miners all chipped in and made up a purse for your ransom, while they are now anxiously awaiting your coming to give you a right royal welcome, for you will be the first lady who ever came to our camp." "Indeed! this will be an honor; but do you mean that there are none of my sex there?"
Realizing that the settling meant a separation for a shorter or longer time, and for a greater or less distance, however determined, the boys sobered down and followed the others into the study. There is no use going into details. The letters were duly read and discussed and it was decided that early the next morning Admiral Seldon and Mrs.

When the surgeon-scout was guided to the deserted camp by Andrew Seldon, he at once saw that Buffalo Bill had not reached there. But there he was to wait for him, and so the horses were staked out and the two made themselves at home there.
And that may be difficult." Just at that moment the footman brought in tea. Charles wondered apparently whether the man, who had been with us at Seldon when Colonel Clay was David Granton, would recollect the face or recognise having seen it. "Look here, Dudley," he said, holding up the water-colour, "do you know that person?" Dudley gazed at it a moment. "Certainly, sir," he answered briskly.
"Hallo! Is that Hampstead Police Station?" "Yes. Who are you?" "Detective-Inspector Chippenfield of Scotland Yard. Tell Inspector Seldon I want him, and be quick about it." "Yes, sir. Hang on, sir. I'll put you through to him at once." Detective-Inspector Chippenfield, of Scotland Yard, waited with the receiver held to his ear.
And then," he urged, "we can go around and see Seldon. You have never been behind the scenes, have you? It's very interesting." "No, I have not, but if we do," remonstrated the Picture, pathetically, "you know all those men will come trooping home with us. You know they will." "But that's very complimentary," said Stuart. "Why, I like my friends to like my wife."
