CHAPTER TX.

The Rah-Rah Boy Functions.
Big Bill grumbled good deal at the
addition to the party. II would be de-
cidedly awkward If this stranger
should become rational and under
stand the status Of the camp he had
Joined. The word of old Holt alone
might be negligible. but supported by
that of a dlsinterested party 1t would
be very different matter. Still, there
was no help for it. They would have
to take care Of the man until he was
able to travel. At the worst, Big Bill
could give him letter to Selfridge
explaining things and SO pass the buck
to that gentleman.
Gid Holt had, with the tacit consent
Of his guards, appointed himself as a
sort Of nurse to the stranger. Early
in the evening the sick man fell into
sound sleep, from which he did not
awake until morning. George was
away looking after the packhorses,
Dud was cooking breakfast, and Big
Bill, his rifle close at hand, was chop
ping young frs fifty feet back Of, the
camp. The cook also had gun. load
ed with buckshot, lying on a box be-
side him, SO that they were taking NO
chances with their prisoner.
The old miner turned from rearrang-
ing the boughs Of green flr on the
smudge to see that his patient was
awake and his mind normal. The
quiet, steady eyes resting upon him
told him that the delirium had passed.
"Pretty nearly all in, wasn't II" the
young man said.
The answer Of Gid Holt was an odd
one. yep. fifteen.
Take 'sr easy. old man." he said in his
shrill, high voice az he moved toward
the man in the blankets. Then, in q
low tone, while he pretended to ar
range the bedding over the stranger,
he asked a quick question.
.'Yes."
Don't tell them. Talk football
lingo as II you was still out Of your
haid." Holt turned and called to Dud.
| 'Says he wants some breakfast"
ION the way" the cook answered.
Holt seemed to be soothing the de-
lirious man. What he really said was
this. "Selfridge has arranged q plant
for you at Kamatlah. The camp has
been turned inside out to fool you.
They've brought me here q prisoner
20 a. to keep me from telling you the
truth. Pstl Tune up now"
Big Bill had put down his AZ and
was approaching. He was not ex-
actly suspicious, but he did not be-
lieve in taking unnecessary chances.
II tell you I'm out Of training.
Played the last game. haven't wei
,Come through with . square meal. you
four -nusher," demanded Elliot In Q
querulous voiee. He turned to Macy.
Look here. Cap. Haven't played
the game all fallf Don't get what I
want now we're through
The voice Of the young man was s1-
cited. His eyes had lost their Quise
steadiness and roved restlessly to and
fro. II Big Bin had held any doubts
one glance dissipated them.
