Bob started to retrace his steps but he had not gone far before he was aware that soft footsteps were following him. He turned in his tracks and stood still. A moment later the Indian he had befriended the night before slipped up beside him. The work on the dam had gone smoothly since Mr. Whitney had taken the job over.
