One because we've beaten 'em in two innings the time of the Triceratops and in the underground river game. But getting our cattle or the cattle of any other rancher is reward enough in itself at the price beef is selling for now. They want to make a lot of money, and ruin us because we've come to Happy Valley.
In an instant the three men were awake, each resting on one knee, with their backs towards the centre and their polished barrels raised. It was not long before they perceived the intruder by the moonlight. A huge monster of the Triceratops prorsus species had entered the camp.
This he cut from the tree with his knife, removed the smaller branches and twigs until he had fashioned a pole about ten feet in length. This he sharpened at the smaller end. The staff finished to his satisfaction he looked down upon the triceratops. "Whee-oo!" he cried. Instantly the beasts raised their heads and looked at him. From the throat of one of them came faintly a low rumbling sound.
Triceratops was fully twenty-five feet long, and of twice the bulk of an elephant. The family appeared in the Upper Cretaceous and became extinct at its close. Their bones are found buried in the fresh-water deposits of the time from Colorado to Montana and eastward to the Dakotas.
"What I smelled was the faint aroma that doubtless permeates the entire jungle because of the long presence of many of the creatures it is the sort of odor that would remain for a long time, faint as it is. "Pan-at-lee, did you ever hear of a triceratops? No? Well this thing that you call a gryf is a triceratops and it has been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years.
He was browsing among the trees, tearing off the young branches, and the hunters succeeded in getting within seventy-five yards before being discovered. Just as he began to run, the two rifles again fired, this time at the right hind leg, which they succeeded in hamstringing. After that the Triceratops prorsus was at their mercy, and they quickly put an end to its suffering.
What with cattle missing, and queer shots being fired behind your back, we're likely to be in for as lively a time as when we had the water fight!" "Or locating a Triceratops!" added Nort with a laugh. After breakfast, and the finishing of the usual "chores" about camp, the boy ranchers prepared to ride over and look at the place where the raid had been made.
"I'll be ready in a moment," remarked Henry Mellon, and Bud and his cousins could not but note how differently he spoke from the average run of ranch hands. "More like one of those college professors who were after the ten-million-year-old Triceratops," remarked Nort, commenting on the talk. "Yes, he is a bit cultured in his speech," assented Bud. "Guess he hasn't been out west long."
Close by grew a number of leafy trees, in any one of which the ape-man could have found sanctuary, but it had occurred to him that should he immediately take to the trees it might suggest to the mind of the gryf that the creature that had been commanding him all day feared him, with the result that Tarzan would once again be held a prisoner by the triceratops.
