But when he came to it, the front of the Chief’s cottage was dark. A ray of light came from the kitchen and Bob went to the back. “Gee whiz!” whistled Bob, the suddenness of the turn the talk had taken amazing him. “Then—then what I did was right?” “It is John’s,” said Mother instantly and with the utmost certainty. Jerry recognized the type at once. It was a desert rat, one of those old men who, lured by the dream of gold, haunt the desert, usually alone. Years pass over their heads in the search which never ends. At last the gold mine that they will find some day becomes merely the excuse not the aim of the unending pilgrimage.
