“Well, well! You do know how to make things!” said Jeremias admiringly. “We can’t go back again, can we?” asked Bob. “There doesn’t seem to be anything else to do but to try the tunnel.” “Where are your young men?” he demanded of the Indian. “All over, men. There’ll be no more trouble to-night. Our Mexicans are not mixed up in this yet and the soldiers have come to see that they don’t. They’ll be here any minute now!”.
