Then, ignoring Dade, who stood near him, plainly puzzled over this enigma, he walked over to the edge of the wood where Taggart's rifle lay, picked it up and made his way to the ranchhouse.

Both Amy and Grace felt a breathless little tug at their hearts at the joyful challenge in Betty's words, but Mollie, with a perverseness that was sometimes characteristic of her, refused to be too happy.

"Some one as knows the lay of the land had been after her," suggested Jonathan. "You can bet on that. We've got to find him before we lose all the fine horse-flesh we own.

Thus the B's made a graceful concession to the policy of trying more experiments with 19 's commencement. "One man, one office that's our slogan," declared Katherine, when Babe had announced that the vote in favor of Betty's plan was unanimous.
