"Boss," he said, shortly; "there's somethin' mighty wrong goin' on behind us. Me an' Ed my helper has been kind of hangin' back, bein' sort of curious. They's a bunch of ornery-lookin' guys trailin' us. I first saw 'em after we'd struck the bottom of that cañon.
However is anybody goin' to be a slave where thar's as near nothin' to do in the way of work as is possible an' let a hooman live?

Good-natured Garry Patterson. God, boy, how we'll miss him! And Branch seems to have gone the same way. If neither of them show up before morning we can cross 'em off the list.
