She looked up at Starr and smiled. "Suppose he starts running after them; he might chase them clear off the ranch, and then what?" "I guess the supply of rocks'll hold out," Starr hinted, and snapped his fingers at the dog, which went to heel as a matter of course. "If you throw rocks at that dog, I'll throw rocks at you," Helen May threatened viciously.
Mrs Pansey, anticipating an easy victory, shook out her skirts, and was up in arms at once. 'I know for a fact that your sister Ann did not marry the man she eloped with, cried Mrs Pansey, shaking her head viciously. 'Who told you this fact? demanded Miss Whichello, indignantly.
