"They didn't see us," said the shiftless one, "but it was hard to stay hid." "But here we are alive and safe. Now, I think, Sol, we'd better go on straight toward their camp, but keep a lookout at the same time for those fellows, when they come back." They could not hear the twang of bowstrings now, but the shouts still came to them, though much softened by the distance.
Several of the cowboys and ranchers present exchanged glances. Duane had been weighed by unerring Texas instinct, by men who all packed guns. The boy was the son of his father.

"Abraham Potash Perlmutter," Morris reiterated. "That's one fine name, Sol." It was now Sol's turn to take Morris' hand and he squeezed it hard.

Hence every heart beat a little faster when they saw the low outline of a wooden island rising from the bosom of the Ohio. "According to all we've heard," said Henry, "that should be the place."
