Jim had Miss Herricks word as to the amount taken from her. It was a certainty that Hays had also robbed her brother. But he had not reported tlie truth as to the amount; and this was another singular proof of the disintegration of the chiefs character. In all likelihood Sparrowhawk Latimer was aware of this omission on the chiefs part. Probably he had been bribed to keep his mouth shut Whatever there was to learn Jim meant to learn. While his thoughts ran In this fashion, skipping from one aspect to another, Jim's keen manipulation of the field glass followed suit And after each survey he would shift the glass back to the oval bowl whore the robbers were at work.

Later by the light of the campfire Jim saw Helen come out of her tent to walk up and down in the dusk. And she got nearly as far as where Jims things lay in the lee of a low shelf. Darkness soon settled down, and with it the robbers, worn out with their labors. Jim stayed up long enough to see Hays stretch in his blankets under Happy's shelter. The next day was like the preceding, with its camp tasks and improvements, the gunfd duty, attendance upon Sparrow, and the universal if covert observance of Miss Herrick. To do her credit she kept out of her tent, ate, exercis'd, and watched with great anxious eyes that haunted Jim. After that day after day, full of watching and suspense for Jim, wore on.
