Nelia and the Caopes laughed aloud, and Rasba joined in the merriment.

"I'm agoin'," quoth Saint Mark, "right clost to Miss Blake's.
Shoop's gun jumped from its holster and covered the sheep-man. "If one of your lousy herders done this, he'll graze clost to hell to-night with the rest of your dam' sheep!" he cried. "Easy, Bud!" cautioned Wingle. "The boss ain't passed over yet. Bill, you help Sinker here get the boss back home. The rest of you boys hit the trail for the Blue.
