West OF the Pecos River Texas ex-
tended n vast Wild region. barren In
the north where the Llano Estacudo
spread Its shifting sands, fertile In the
south along the Rio Grande. A rail-
road marked an undertaking course
across five hundred miles Of this
country, and the only villages and
towns lay on or nea this line OF steel.
Unsettled as was this western Texas,
and despite the acknowledged domi.
nance Of the outlaw bands, the
pioneers pushed steadily into 1t.
The Rio Grande flowed almost due
south along the western boundary for
n thousand miles, and then. weary Of
Its course, turned abruptly north, to
make what was called the Big Bend.
The railroad, running west, cut across
this bend, and all that country bound

to breakfast.

round a tarpaulin spread upon the
ground.

They were jolly, wild fellows, with

and went on. "No man on the border
