Chapter IX
"He did not! He sent us to the mustanger camp with a message, and the Pima rode scout for us. It’s a regular order on the Range—take one of the Pimas if you are goin’ any distance from where you can fort up. You can find out that’s true easily enough." Drew was striving to keep a reasonable tone, to find an answer which _must_ pierce through Bayliss’ rancor.
