"Stand him up against that tree for the present," ordered George, then grimly wound coil after coil of rope around the half-breed, securing him with many a hard knot.
At last George stood back to survey his work with admiration. "I'd like to see even an Indian get out of that harness," Baker remarked complacently. Harriet and Jane walked over to the tree and looked searchingly at the captive.
Both recognized him as the man they had seen while the "Red Rover" lay hidden in the creek. "Larry and I are going up to the village at once to notify the authorities," announced George.
"We want to get rid of this fellow as soon as possible." "And I am going with you," announced Miss Elting firmly, "to hunt up Mr. Dee Dickinson.
He knows all about this man and the time has arrived for him to tell me the truth." * * * * * Dickinson at first refused flatly to give Miss Elting any satisfaction concerning the Indian. "Then I shall have you arrested as a suspicious character, also," declared Miss Elting sternly.
