"Who are you, anyway?" asked the fellow called Bill.
"I am Ted Strong."
"Then it's all up. We're done for," said the train robber, in a resigned
voice.
CHAPTER XXIV.
TED HOLDS A PROFITABLE BAG.
Tom signaled to Ted to step aside, and, telling Stella to keep the other
fellow covered with her revolver, Ted accompanied him.
"Thank yer fer turnin' me loose," said Tom. "I've been tryin' ter get
away fer months, but couldn't. Here's a tip: They're goin' ter rob ther
Overland Express t'-night right out yon at that little station yer can
see from ther top o' ther rise. Ther loot is ter be hid near Bubbly
Spring until things blow over, but ther gang will come here. Thar's my
tip. Good-by. I'm off."
The fellow disappeared up the bank of the stream.
Ted bound the other upon the back of his pony, which he found not far
from the scene of his own downfall, and conveyed him to Green River,
where he placed him in jail, with instructions that he should be allowed
to communicate with no one.
Then he and Stella returned to the Billings ranch house.
