 Don't move," said Sally. This one will answerin a minute. They'll get together, or else I don't know horses"
 Presently her prediction was real ized, but it took another call from the distance before the bridled horse answered.
 Stay right here, Henry. The other one will come to us. You might have that rife ready, just in case--There may be somebody rid ing it, you know, looking for this one"
 The second horse was advancing more rapidly now There was an- other interchange of calls and Sally clung more tightly to the bridle of their captive.

 Out of the brush and into the dim light came d second riderless horse, Hold this one," said Sally, giving the bridle to the Wreck.
 An instant later she had a second captive.
 "Bridled and saddled like the first one" she exclaimed. Did you ever hear of such luck?"
 What dp you make out of it?" "They rEust belong to Nosey and Lefty. l suppose they left them standing somewhere, maybe, while they got out of the storm them selves, and the poor things got scared and ran away. don't blame them"
 Well. what are we going to dc with 'em?"
 Sally peered' at him through the gloom, as if trying to see whethe, he was serious.
 Do with them?" she echoed, ir amazemcnt. What do you usual, do with a horse? Kiss it? You big silly, we're going to ride them,'
 The Wreck made a grimace,
 How about my car," he demanded Aren't we going to look for that ?
 No, we're not. Are you crazy 80 long as we've got their horse, let them keep the car. We don want to go messing around tba camp again tonight. We're Nabl, to get ourselves into trouble again Don't try to push your luck too far Henry Williams. We're in big Iucl now-we've got their horses. two Q them, anyhow. And we've got on, rife, What more could we ask ?"
 lie pondered the proposition gloomily. He could not treat tn, Idea or abandonment so lightly; no that 1t was particularly valuable f, him in dollars, but there was a bono or sentiment to be considered Ye he could see the sound sense at th, bottom of her verdict. After all h, was primarily responsible for getting sally Morgan either aboard trair or back to the Bar-M. The fiyve, would have to take it's chances.
 "Oh, all right" he growled.
 Why of course" said Sally.
 Then which way do we go?"
 We ought to try to hit for the main road, l suppose. That seem. the most sensible thing to do. Vel probably be able to get our bear. ings then. I'd wait till daylight only | don't think we ought to, Tn afraid we're too near the camp lhey'll be out looking for these horses. They cant afford to lose them"
 They've got my car" he re. minded her.
 But maybe they can't run if Henry, It's one thing to ride 2 horse around this country; but wber u comes to exploring 1t in a fiyyer "el.' you've got 10 be an expert"
 He merely grunted at the comnIi ment for he suspected that she wa, only joking.

 Certainly l can." snapped in, Wreck. But what are won roin, to do? You haven't any ridin, skirt" '''"' Sally laughed in the darkness The Wreck had scaled the side n the hrst captive and was trying f, ma comfortable place in the sad ale, when Sally made a flying noun of the second.
 You'd better let me 20 ahead sch said. We'll just walk wbil we're in the woods. And don't 70 yourself knocked off by branch Come on."
 They set of at slow pace. sall giving her animal it's head. save fo occasional guidance in the directio she thought they ought to follow The Wreck's horse followed, deter mined not to be isolated again. s that all that his rider had to do wa 10 balance himself in the saddle an lend off branches with the rife. sally had but a vague idea c whither they should go to seek tn main road.
