La Nogalique! They might have been there " "Who were coming?" asked his wife quickly. "Rosemary and Floyd; They'd be there just about when was that raid, Billee Dobb?" cried Mr. Merkel. "Last Friday!" The ranchman whistled. "That's bad!" he murmured. "Bad!" "Would Rosemary and her brother have reached there by then?" asked Mrs. Merkel. "Just about," her husband replied slowly. "Just about!
"Let's go!" called his sister. "It's getting late, and according to this map it's ten miles yet to La Nogalique which means twenty if we are going by past performances." The car sped forward, the trail seeming to grow worse instead of better, as might be expected if they were approaching a town. Lurching from side to side, making sharp turns to avoid bowlders and holes, Floyd guided the machine.
"The message is to me from the Sheriff of La Nogalique, or at least from some one in his service, for it's signed with his name. I know him, slightly." "Did he see Rosemary and Floyd carried off?" Dick wanted to know. "Not exactly. But wait. I'll read it so you may all hear," said Mr. Merkel, taking the missive from his wife's trembling hand.
They frequently hold up the Southern Pacific trains, kill and rob the passengers and take what express matter they like. This band, probably weary of making war on the none too resisting Mexican soldiery, had crossed the border, and "shot up" La Nogalique.
When it was learned that one of the cowboys of the town had ridden to bring some United States troops from a nearby station, Paz, one of the leaders, had set out with his followers to capture the rider. They had come upon Rosemary and her brother with the result detailed. "But why are they riding back into town with us?" Floyd wanted to know. "Mexico is south of La Nogalique," answered Rosemary.
Then followed a careful scanning of papers and drawings, with the result that Rosemary said: "I guess we may as well go on. It's a long way back to the nearest town, and this map does seem to indicate that we are heading for La Nogalique." "That's what I say!" chimed in Floyd. "I only hope La Nogalique is better than it sounds.
Turn back!" he shouted. "Don't go down there!" He was attired as a cowboy and spoke good United States. "What's the matter?" demanded Floyd, as he let the car roll to one side to give the horseman room to pass. "Yaquis!" was the answer. "Them onery Mexican Indians have broke loose and are raiding the country. They've started in here at La Nogalique! I'm riding for the troops. Better turn back!"
