Here 's hoping you get Lyman ! '' `` I 'll get him ! '' Ned replied , shutting his teeth hard together . So , all arrangements made , Jimmie crept up on the ledge , about nine o'clock , and looked over into the twin valley . There was a campfire burning , and Lyman , or the man the boy took for the cattleman , sat close beside it . The others were walking about . Now and then an Indian stepped inside the circle of light cast by the fire , consulted with the others for a moment , and disappeared again .
