"And you put our iron on him?" asked Phil, still watching Nick. "I did," returned Patches, coolly. "Tell us about it," directed the Dean's foreman. And Patches obeyed, briefly. "It was that day you sent me to fix the fence on the southwest corner of the big pasture. I saw a bunch of cattle a little way outside the fence, and went to look them over.
