Hidden in a clump of timber Andrew Seldon saw that it was a white man, and that the trail he was following would bring him near his position. "I believe that it is Buffalo Bill," he muttered, as he saw that the horseman was clad in buckskin and wore his hair long. But as he came nearer he said eagerly: "It is the surgeon-scout Doctor Frank Powell!"
But Andrew Seldon raised his hands above his head, in token of peace, and Surgeon Powell rode straight toward him. "I dare not let him know who I am, though I would trust him, Heaven knows. He knows me as well as any man, and I'll see how I stand the test of his piercing eyes," muttered the gold-hunter, and, as the surgeon-scout drew nearer, he called out: "Are you Buffalo Bill, sir?"
Before parting with Surgeon Frank Powell at the fort, Buffalo Bill had drawn a map of the country, marking the trail the surgeon-scout was to follow, and also just where he was to meet him, the place of rendezvous being the deserted camp where was the grave of Black-heart Bill. When Buffalo Bill approached the trail, at the scene of the Dead Line tragedies, he went most cautiously.

But night came on, and found him still on the trail. He was compelled to go into camp, for he could not follow it by night, and he soon made himself comfortable.
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.
