He wanted to see if he could catch a glimpse of the Yaquis below him. "And I'd give a whole lot of money if I had it to see who is fighting them," thought Floyd. "But I haven't much left." He glanced ruefully down at his now soiled and torn garments. And as he thrust his hands into his pockets he missed many a trinket and possession.
"What'd you come away from the ranch for?" demanded Bud, for Buck Tooth was a valued hand on a cattle place, and he had been left with the somewhat small force to take charge of Happy Valley when the others had started after the Yaquis. "What you doing here?" Bud wanted to know. "Me after 'em too Yaquis!" grunted the Indian. "Me catchum an' shootum same like um shoot me!"
Above the horizon shone some red sparkles of light skimming and shimmering through the dark night. "Shooting stars!" remarked Dick, in a whisper. "Shooting nothing!" cried Nort, and his voice was loud. "Those are signals from the Yaquis! Snake! Wake up! We're right close to the Indians!" he yelled.
Anyhow if we rush out, all excited, yelling as hard as we can, and pointing to the cave back of us, I think the Yaquis will take the alarm and become so confused that our friends, whoever they are out there, will be able to rush this position." As yet, you must understand, Rosemary and her brother were unaware of the identity of the attackers.
"Old Hank Fowler didn't try to get it all in ten words so we have a pretty fair idea of what went on. Reckon he knew he didn't have to pay for that message. It come out of the county funds I take it. Listen to this, boys!" Mr. Merkel read: "'I regret to inform you that some relatives of yours were carried off in the last raid of the Yaquis here.
"I don't know anything about them there reflex actions," observed Yellin' Kid, "but I do know that this is no fishin' party! We've got hard work cut out for us if we're to trail them sneakin' Yaquis." "You delivered an earful that time, my friend," stated Rolling Stone, with a grim smile.
These were made as comfortable as possible, for though they were entitled to little consideration while the fight was on, matters were different after the surrender. "But where can Rosemary and Floyd be?" was the question asked over and over again by the boy ranchers and their friends, when it was seen that the captives were not in the Yaquis camp.
"It was Paz, I'm sure of it!" declared Bud. "He looks guilty!" Certainly the Yaquis leader looked ugly and mean enough to have perpetrated this deed. But he maintained a scowling silence as he sat on the ground before his captors.
"No telling," said Bud. "We've got things in shape back there so that we can remain away all summer if need be," and he glanced back toward their ranch which they had just left. "But I'd like to clean up this bunch of 'onery' Yaquis, and then get back on the job. Cattle raising is our business." "But just now we're following a side line of rescuing Rosemary and Floyd," observed Nort.
In the first place this was almost an unknown accomplishment with him, and in the second place the Yaquis were of his own kind reckless outlaws who would stop at nothing to get booty, either in cattle or money. It was more likely that Del Pinzo and his gang were seeking an opportunity to join forces with the band of up-rising Yaquis. "Oh, you're after the Yaquis; are you!" asked Snake.
