"I wish I had Lite here; but I guess Pard and I can handle the sorrel ourselves.

Sorry to have disturbed you." Robert Grant Burns, his leading man and all his villains stood and watched her walk away from them to the stable.

They watched her lead Pard out and turn him loose in the biggest corral.

When they saw her take her coiled rope, mount the sorrel and ride in, they went, in a hurried group, to where they might look into that corral.

They watched her pull the gate shut after her, lean from the saddle, and fasten the chain hook in its accustomed link.
