There's an escaped convict ranging somewhere in my district.

I received the word this morning, and have been up around Lone Cabin and Burnt Pine and the head of Clear Creek to see if I could start anything.

I didn't find any signs, but the information is reliable.

Tell Sibyl that I say she must not go out without her gun--that if I catch her wandering around unarmed, I'll pack her off back to civilization, pronto." "I'll tell her," said Myra Willard, "and I'll help her to remember.

It would be better, I suppose, if she stayed at home; but that seems so impossible." "She'll be all right if she has her gun," asserted the Ranger, confidently.
