What excuses the squaw made for not being able to lead the man directly to the spot, I can't say, of course; but I suppose she invented plenty.
She did one clever thing, at least.

In their wanderings she led the way into the old camp of Injun Jim.

There had been no storm to dim the tracks Casey had made, and Lucy Lily, Indian that she was, knew that these were the tracks of Casey Ryan and guessed what was his errand there.

So she and her white man trailed him across the valley to Two Peak.
They came first to the camp, and there the Little Woman met them, and by some canny intuition knew who they were and what they wanted,--thanks to Casey's garrulous mood when he told her of Lucy Lily.

They said that they were hunting horses, and presently went on over the ridge; not following Casey's plain trail to the tunnel, but riding off at an angle so that they could come into the trail once they were hidden from the house.
Casey, as it happened, was not at the tunnel at all, but over at the gold mine, doing the location work.
