Ronald ran the first man who attacked him through the body, and laid open the face of the next with a sweeping blow from left to right. The men they had hired fought stoutly; but they were being pressed together as the assailants urged forward their horses, when suddenly a volley of firearms was heard.
Just to teach us manners you're worth your board and keep." Then hardily, with a sweeping gesture toward the weary cattle: "Besides, your uncle has sent up a contribution to help keep you while you visit with us." York laughed. "He sent it, but he didn't know he was sending it." Leroy surrendered his room to Miss Mackenzie and put at her service the old Mexican woman who cooked for him.
"You see it too, eh, King?" said Lawler. "Well, we can't take that chance; we'll have to go to the camp." He headed Red King down into the valley again, where the bitter wind did not strike them, riding westward rapidly.

"The wind is sweeping the fire right that way!" "What are you going to do, Tom?" yelled his chum, as the business manager saw the young inventor heading directly for the blaze. "What's the idea?" "To rescue Mary, if she's in danger!" "I'm with you!" was Ned's quick response. "But you can't go any closer. The police are stretching the fire lines!" "I guess they'll let me through!" said Tom grimly.
