CHAPTER
"Look out," cried Roy, "they are swindlers!"
"Get out of my office!"
"I think you'll stay there for a while," said Wakely.
THE BOY FROM THE RANCH
ROY RECEIVES A MESSAGE
"Hi there, Low Bull, ruste around the other way and round up them steers! Hustle now! What's the matter with you? Want to go to sleep on the trail?"
Billy Carew, foreman of the Triple O ranch, addressed these remarks to a rather ugly-looking Indian, who was riding a pony that seemed much too small for him. The Indian, who was employed as a cowboy, was letting his steed amble slowly along, paying little attention to the work of rounding up the cattle.
"Come now, Low Bull, get a move on," advised the foreman. "Make believe you're hunting palefaces," he added, and then, speaking in a lower tone he said: "this is the last time I'll ever hire a lazy Indian to help round-up."
"What's the matter, Billy?" asked a tall, well-built lad, riding up to the foreman.
"Matter? Everything's the matter. Here I foolishly go and give Low Bull charge of the left wing of rounding up these steers, and he's so lazy and good-for-nothing that he'll let half of 'em get away 'fore we get back to the ranch. Get a move on you now!" he called to the Indian, and, seeing that the foreman was very much in earnest, Low Bull urged his pony to a gallop, and began to get the straggling steers into some kind of shape.
"Can't I help you, Billy?" asked the boy.
