Chapter XXIX
THE END OF IT ALL. Mark Mallory lay hiding in the bushes at the edge of the camp. There was little for Mark to do except to wait, to wait with all possible patience. It did not seem likely that anything would happen until Texas returned. The camp was perfectly silent and motionless; that figure which left it was the last to appear.
