"This is no place for a fight. If you wish to see me, come around to our camp in the morning." "Be careful, Hippy," warned Anne in a low tone. "Ah'm goin' t' say it agin, once more. You git out o' this right smart or Ah'll put er hole through yer miserable carcass!" Hippy suddenly found himself facing a revolver in the hands of Lum Bangs.
