"Yes, Miss Seldon."
"For what purpose?"
"Ransom."
"By whom?"
"My chief."
"Ah! but what ransom can he get from him?"
"I believe you told the chief that you were rich, and this poor fellow is your messenger."
"I think I understand."
"Yes, you will be returned, and then negotiations will be entered into for your messenger's ransom."
"Ah! I am to be still further robbed?" said Celeste, with a sneer.
"Yes, and that is not the end," came the significant reply.
There was something in the response of the outlaw officer that impressed the young girl most strangely. What more could there be in store for her than she had already pa.s.sed through, which caused him to say that the end was not yet?
The listener among the rocks kept his eyes riveted upon the two, his ears turned to catch every word they uttered.
He now knew that the letter he had received, telling him, as Andrew Seldon, that Celeste, the daughter, was dead, was false, and a fraud perpetrated for some reason upon the absent miner.
"You say that the ransom of Bernard Brandon will not be the end?" asked Celeste, after a moment of meditation.
"It will not."
"What else can there be?"
"A great deal."
"What do you mean?"
"There will be a _third demand_."
"How?"
"Upon you."
"For what?"
"Gold."
"By whom?"
"The chief."
"What will the demand be for?"
"I'll tell you the truth, as I happen to know it, or, rather, suspect it, from what I do know, have seen, and heard."
"I hope that you will act squarely with me, Mr. Wolf."
"Upon my life, I will, and though I cannot help you now, must even appear to be your foe, in the end I will help you and prove to be your friend."
"I hope so."
"You ask what this third demand will be?"
"Yes."
"Will you ransom Bernard Brandon?"
"Where is he?"
"A fugitive."
"Where?"
"He will be in this camp to-morrow."
"Ah! then I will see him?"
"No; he will not arrive until after your departure."
"I will await his coming."
"That cannot be, for I have orders to start with you to be ransomed, and you are not supposed to know that he has been captured."
"But you have told me so."
"It was a confidential communication, and if you betray me I can render you no further service, for my usefulness will be gone; in fact, I would be put to death."
"I will not betray you."
"Thank you, but let me say that Brandon will be brought here, for two men now have him in charge, and are on the trail here."
"Yes."
"You will be ransomed, and then go to Last Chance. There you will learn of Brandon's mysterious disappearance, and a ransom will soon after be demanded for him."
"Yes."
"You will pay it?"
