CHAPTER XXVIII. 

BACK TO THE VILLAGE. 

"Never mind, let them go," said Andy, as he saw the mountaineer make a movement as if to follow the retreading pair. "I do not think that they have any of the stolen things in their possession." 

"But they ought to be locked up," insisted Ramson. "Such thieves ought never to be allowed their liberty." 

"I agree with you, but as matters stand, we cannot bother to follow them just now." 

"Maybe this fellow will tell us who they were. I didn't get a square look at them," went on the mountaineer, who felt sore to think the pair had gotten away thus easily. 

"Yes, I imagine we can learn from Barberry who they are," put in Matt, as he caught the pretended doctor by the arm. "Don't you try to run," he added. 

Paul Barberry appeared greatly disconcerted. He had not expected this sudden turn of affairs, and he knew not what to say or do. 

"March him up to the wagon and light the other lantern," said Andy. "I see the fire is going out." 

"I'll soon fix that," returned Ramson, and he threw on some dry twigs, causing the fire to blaze up merrily. "They were making themselves quite at home." 

"What are you going to do with me?" asked Barberry sullenly, as he found himself surrounded, with no hope of escape. 

"Before we answer that question we wish to ask a few on our account," returned Andy. "Now tell us who your companions were."  QUESTIONS:
