"Special delivery letter, maybe," ventured Dick. "Maybe," admitted Bud. "I I have a feeling that it's bad news," murmured Mrs. Merkel to Nell. "Maybe not," Bud's sister whispered. "It may be only a rush order for cattle to be shipped. "All that were fit have been shipped," her mother said. "I'm afraid I'm afraid "

And some hours later, when they had reached Bud's home, and Nell was serving peach pie and glasses of milk to the boy ranchers, Nort paused long enough in his eating to remark: "This is the good luck, Bud." "You declaimed something that time!" agreed his brother. Mr. Merkel listened to what Bud and his cousins told them of the raids on Happy Valley.

And as the other cowboys, even Four Eyes, pronounced the scheme worth trying, it was put into operation. Mr. Merkel, to whom Bud communicated his idea over the telephone, rather laughed at it. "How about nights?" asked the ranchman. "No matter how high you are up after dark you can't see any better." "But most of the raids of the rustlers have been in daylight," declared Bud.

In fact, I haven't looked at the safe very closely, except to notice that it was all right. And I took the money out of it over to the bank next day." Bud and his cousins looked at the strong box in which Mr. Merkel kept his money and valuable papers.

Merkel remarked: "How come you heard all this, Bill I mean about the Yaquis? None of it filtered here until you come up sweating lather!" "I met one of the deputy sheriffs in town," explained the veteran cow puncher. "He'd just got a telegraph message tellin' him to be on the lookout, as the redskins might be headed this way."

"Did you happen to hear what town it was in Arizona that the Yaquis raided?" "It was La La wait a minute now. It was one of those crazy Spanish names. I'll tell you La La La Nogalique that's it!" "La Nogalique!" cried Mr. Merkel, and he looked at the letter from Rosemary. "That's her!" affirmed the cowboy. "Why why!" exclaimed the ranchman, "that's the way they were coming in their auto!

"That's right!" added Dick, while some of the cowboys grinned at the eagerness and impetuosity of the boys. "Shucks!" exclaimed Mrs. Merkel, getting back her nerve. "Those Yaquis are nothing more than a lot of Greasers, anyhow. They'll turn home at the first sight of a few of the sheriff's posse. I don't believe I'll worry after all." "That's right!" shouted Yellin' Kid.

"Sit on him!" called Mr. Merkel, owner of Diamond X and other ranches. He was superintending the round-up of his herds and those entrusted to Bud, Nort and Dick in the first business venture of the boy ranchers. "Sit on him!" yelled Bud's father.
