The Lone Ranger was riding along the trail east of Lost Creek when he suddenly drew back on Silver's reins after spotting a saddled horse, riderless. The horse which had caught the masked man's attention had been grazing, but now with Silver's approach, he raised his head. He showed no fear, and although the masked man had loosened the rope hanging from the pummel of his saddle, he found no occasion to use it. It didn't take him long to find the rider, thrown from the horse a short while ago.
