If you'll take a look around you'll see a number of fellers, mostly good fellers, more than half of 'em believing me to be the rustler they're all looking for.
Keller drew from his pocket the two letters he had just received. "Read these." When he had read, Yeager handed them back, and offered his hand. "That clears you, seh. Truth is, I never was satisfied you was a rustler. My mind was satisfied; but, durn it, you didn't look like a waddy. It's lucky I hadn't spoke to the boys yet." "I want to keep this quiet," the Bear Creek settler explained. "Sure.
They dashed to the structure at the rear and a short distance from the dwelling, into which they ran their horses, slipped off their trappings, and hurried back to the house. Every one was inside and not a shot fired, nor was a rustler seen. It was beyond explanation. But the stockmen were wise enough to turn to the best account the grace thus given to them.

Floyd bowed his head at that, as if the significance had just occurred to him. But he was not long at a loss. "She's going to find it out sooner or later. I tell you she knows now there's something wrong out here.
That gives us most three hours to reach the Pass and stop them. What think, Brill? Can we make it?" "We'll try damned hard. I'm not going to let Mr. Rustler Keller slip through my fingers again!" Healy cried triumphantly. "I don't believe it was Bear Creek men at all. I'm sure it wasn't Mr. Keller," Phyllis cried, with a face like parchment.

"But I reckon y'u know what y'u're talkin' aboot.... Wal, I shore don't want to heah it." At this juncture Bill Isbel quietly entered the cabin, too late to hear any of Blue's statement.
"You you tenderfoot!" she flung at him. "Are you locoed? Hadn't you any more sense than to do that? Why, if Daddy hadn't told Mr. Gowan to wait " "You shore would have got yours, you rustler!" snapped the puncher. "It was you, though, Miss Chuckie your being here." "But he's not a rustler, Kid," protested the girl. "Where are your eyes? Look at his riding togs.
