"That must be Zeke and Thomas Jefferson," suggested Fred at once ready to
form and express an opinion.
The Navajo, however, shook his head as he said, "It is not Zeke and it is
not Thomas Jefferson."
"Then who is it?" demanded Fred. "It seems to me we're all the while
having two or three men come into our camp when we've been told that there
wasn't a human being in these parts. They told us in Tombstone that we
wouldn't see a strange face in this part of the world."
"I see one now," declared John, turning and staring at his diminutive
friend.
The Go Ahead Boys laughed but their interest was too keen in the men who
now in the distance could be seen more distinctly.
"You don't suppose those two strange white men can be coming back here, do
you?" inquired Grant in a whisper.
"Yes, that is just who they are," replied Kitoni. "Look yonder!" he added
as he pointed in the direction in which Zeke and the Navajo had departed.
Two other men also were seen coming from that direction and no effort was
required to induce the Go Ahead Boys to believe that Zeke and his
companion were returning to the camp.
