At the trial of Megget and his pals in Tolopah Tom and Larry attracted even more attention than the raiders, but they bore it like sensible boys, making light of their experience at the crossing and never referring to it when they could avoid so doing. Upon the completion of the trial, with long sentences for the cattle thieves, from which fate Mr.
Wilder's bidding, launched into an account of what he had learned in Tolopah. "There are twenty of them in the gang," he said, "and Megget has joined them by this time, though he wasn't with them when they made the raids. As near as I could make out, their headquarters are in the Lost Lode Mine.
And picking up the piece of paper on which he had been scribbling he read: "BILL AND HORACE WILDER, "Tolopah, New Mexico: "We can leave Saturday to visit you. Do you want us? Answer quick. Father and mother leave Friday for Scotland. We'll have to go, if you don't want us. "You might make it shorter," chuckled the farmer.
"But the ball game with Husted is on Saturday," said Larry, giving voice to the thought uppermost in his mind. Then, as though he realized that it was foolish to compare a trip to Scotland with a game of baseball, he added: "Besides, Tom and I were planning that is, we were going to ask you if we couldn't go out to Tolopah and spend the summer with Horace and Bill Wilder on their ranch."

"From the time we reach the ranch till we start for home I don't intend to wear a white shirt or collar." "When we get out there we can buy some cowboy outfits," said Larry. "Hooray for Tolopah!"
"But they haven't gone to the hills yet," returned his mother. "Your father has ridden over to the Three Stars and Nails has gone to Tolopah." "Oh, goody!" exclaimed Horace. "We may be able to go, after all. Momsy, won't you try to make father take us?" It was only with this last question that Mrs.
"I'm Bobby Lawrence, and I was hunting for my tobacco pouch," returned the fellow, undaunted by the angry faces gazing at him. "That's the name of one of Megget's right-hand men," declared Nails. "I found that out at Tolopah." With no gentle hands half a dozen of the cowboys searched Lawrence, taking from him his pistols and a long knife. When their prisoner was harmless Mr.
And he briefly told Snider of the figures they all had seen, adding: "Much obliged for reminding me, Tom. That may have been Megget and the fellows you met with him. Go on, Nails; anything more?"
