Well, we'll see what we'll see. I'll set my
rangers at rounding up the border towns a bit, and if I don't
start anything there I'll hike down into Mexico and see what's
doing. I'll count on you to run the Arizona end of it while I'm
away, Val. The Wolf's outfit is a pretty wild one, and it won't
be long till something begins to howl. We'll keep an eye on the
gambling halls and see who is burning up money. Oh, they'll leave
plenty of smoke behind them," the ranger concluded cheerfully.
"There will be plenty of smoke if we ever do round 'em up, not to
mention a heap of good lead that will be spilled," the sheriff
agreed placidly. "Well, all I got to say is the sooner the
quicker. The bunch borrowed a mighty good .45 of mine I need in
my biz. I kinder hanker to get it back muy pronto."
"Here's hoping," Bucky nodded gayly. "I bet there will be a right
lively wolf hunt. Hello! The car's loaded. All aboard for
Tucson."
The special drew out from the side track and gathered speed. Soon
the rhythmic chant of the rails sounded monotonously, and the
plains on either side of the track swam swiftly to the rear.
