If I was a youngster, back again under the Esmeraldas " He smiled reminiscently, and his rather hard features softened. "There was one then that I threatened to marry," he chuckled. "If they made 'em like her " "Why don't you go back and find her?"
"And you," he finished, "when you are ready to start, will gather your outfit at Wallace's ranch near Willow Spring. From there is only one way that you can go to follow your father's trail. He must have come out of the Esmeraldas through Shoestring Cañon, therefore you must go into them that way. I will be there when you come." Solange turned to the door and he bowed to her.

It took him all of that day and a part of the next to head around the Esmeraldas, across the high plateau into which it ran on the east and down to the valley in which Maryville lay.
He was coming home from the Esmeraldas with his sheep which we was allowing to winter close to the ranch instead of in the desert to see if feeding them would pay and some murdering gunman done up and shot him with a thirty-thirty soft nose, which makes it worse.
