"We want to head off any men Dick may have found and tell 'em what has happened." They turned, making rapidly for the road.

As it happened, they came out near where Ted Teall stood guarding Hi's clothing.
"Have you seen Dick ?" was Darrin's hail.

"Yes; he and Holmesy have run down the road to get some men.

Here they come now with the men," Ted answered, pointing.
Dick had had the good fortune to find help before going far.
With such a reward as had been offered for the capture of Amos Garwood, it was not difficult to find men who could be interested in taking part in such a capture.
"What are you all doing here ?" Dick yelled up the road.
"Garwood got away from us," Dave shouted back.

"Hi Martin spoiled the game for us, and we simply couldn't hold Garwood." Then Dick, Greg and the three men hurried up.
