Ranching for Sylvia

Hardie's expression grew eager as he listened.
"It's certainly liquor--for the reservation Indians," he broke out.
"If we can fix the thing on Beamish--I haven't a doubt that he's responsible--we can close the Sachem." "Then we had better decide how it's to be done," Grant said curtly.

One of them ought to be a farmer; but we'll see about that.

What do you think of the plan, ma'am ?" "I leave it to you," said Mrs.Nelson, half reluctantly.

"But be warned--if the men can't close the Sachem, the women of Sage Butte will undertake the thing." "Then we have only to decide who is to watch the bluff," said Hardie.
"As I first mentioned the matter, I'll go, for one," George volunteered.
"You're the right man," declared Grant.
