The Ring Tailed Panther and Obed were still sound asleep, but, when Ned called sharply to them, they sprang to their feet, gazing in astonishment at the spectacle of Urrea with his hands up, and the boy standing behind him with the two rifles. "Things seem to have happened while I slept," said Obed. "Looks as if there might have been some rippin' an' tearin'," said the Ring Tailed Panther.
Max, having also read in one of the clippings that a pair of gilt-edged silver black foxes were worth all the way up to $30,000, was, of course, doubly curious to learn whether those with which Obed started could be the genuine article, and if so, how had he managed to obtain them. It seemed to be only a game in which rich persons could enter.
Rarely has such a victory been won by so small a force and in reality with the rifle alone. All the Texans felt that it was a splendid culmination to a perilous campaign. Ned, Obed and the Ring Tailed Panther, seated on their horses, watched the captured army of Cos march away. "Well, Texas is free," said the Ring Tailed Panther. "And San Antonio is ours," said Obed.
Captain Obed thought it time to repeat his first question. "Where's Miss Emily?" he asked. "She's in the livin'-room." "Is is anybody with her?" Imogene nodded. "Um-hum," she said gleefully, "he's there, too." "Who?" The captain and Thankful spoke in concert. "Mr. John Kendrick. I let him in and I didn't tell her who it was at all. She didn't know till she went in herself and found him.
"Got his story? Of course he got it. And in another four hours that safe-cracker would have drilled right into our vitals. I tell you we can't imperil our institution this way. We can't let that stuff get out. We can't do it!" "Nobody's going to break your nice new bank, Obed! You run down here in a taxi and we'll try to straighten things out." "But what'll I do with Trotter?
They learned from a peon that both the squares and many other open places also were filled with the tents of the soldiers. Ned, Obed and the Ring Tailed Panther having seen so much were eager to see more, but Urrea hung back. He thought they should return with the information they had obtained already, and not risk the loss of everything by capture, but the Ring Tailed Panther was determined.
On their return journey they passed through the very forest in which Ned had made his singular rescue of Obed and the Ring Tailed Panther. They saw the camp and they saw the swath made by the fire, a narrow belt, five or six miles in length, ending as the Ring Tailed Panther had predicted at a curve of the creek. The Mexicans, as they now knew definitely, were gone days ago from that region.
You've come to think a little the same way as Bandy-legs, perhaps, and suspect Obed of being more than he lets on? Is that it, Max? Do you really believe he's playing some sly trick on us? Is that yarn about Mr. Coombs all moonshine? Does this fur farm belong to some company, that Obed is working for? I wish you'd tell me what you've got in your mind, Max."
Once more he walked to the door and opened it. "Miss Howes!" he called. "Emily! If you will let me explain Emily!" "I'll go fetch her," declared Captain Obed. John pushed him back. "Don't interfere, Captain," he said, sharply. "Emily!" No answer. Daniels made the next remark. "I'm afraid you don't get the situation, Kendrick," he said. "Neither Miss Howes nor Mrs.
We both of us had our rifles loaded, as had several of the Indians, from the ammunition furnished me by Obed. The cunning rogues did not know this, and thought that they were going to catch us unprepared. We presented our rifles. They laughed derisively, as much as to say, "Oh, they will do us no harm, we know that."
