I believe you had planned such a trip, had you not?" "Are you going?" asked Annette suddenly.
Look there!" she cried, pointing ahead of them. A chaparral cock strutted from its decapitated enemy, a rattlesnake, and disappeared in the chaparral. Hopalong laughed: "Mr. Scissors-bill Road-runner has great fun with snakes. He runs along th' sand-an' he can run, too an' sees a snake takin' a siesta.
