 Just then a most unearthly screech rang out and the boys hurried around the Hanks of their horses to behold the source of the noise. There was Goldie the guide, tugging with all his might on long rope which had been passed around huge canvas pack on the back of a broncho.

 And Hal was in the saddle in a trice. Both boys had ridden a little with their father at home, but only occasionally. And if the truth be told, they were a little afraid of these "bronchos," despite the assurance of Goldie that they weren't of the "buck- ing'' kind.
