Whitey Mack's words rang in his ears: "I'll LEAD you to the Gray Seal to-night and help you nab him and stay with you to the finish." The man meant what he said, meant what he said, too, about the "finish" of the Gray Seal; not a man in the Bad Lands but meant--death to the Gray Seal! But how, by what means, when, where had Whitey Mack got his information?
"I'm the only one that's wise," Whitey Mack had said.

It seemed impossible.

It WAS impossible! Whitey Mack was sincere enough probably in what he had said, but the man simply could not know.

Whitey Mack could only have spotted some one that, for some reason or other, he IMAGINED was the Gray Seal.

That was it--must be it! Whitey Mack had made a mistake.
