About ten o'clock
` Some of these fellows have n't had any of this kind of truck since they were little boys . If this gets out , I look for men from other camps . ' `` The fellow fell to his work like a thoroughbred , which he surely was . About ten o'clock two men rode up from a camp to the north , which the boy had passed the day before with the letter . They never went near the dug-out , but straight to the kitchen . That movement showed that they were on to the racket . An hour later old Tom Cave rode in , his horse all in a lather , all the way from Garretson 's camp , twenty-five miles to the east .
