CHAPTER 50
TWO OF THE most efficient
cowboys of the Dale-Durango
rancho were Ed Carraway and
."Shorty" Rogers, and Bill had
picked them to trail the stolen
cows.

aiming the fence which had held
the animals. This here bob-wire,

Shorty nodded agreement.
There was six men," he stated
then.
They reinspected tracks. Tracks
Of horses that had fallen behind
the driven cattle. Being men ac-
customed to studying outdoor

seems to me, Ed"
"Yump."
They mounted then and started
following the trail. Following was
not difficult. Twenty COWS and six
horses break down a lot Of brush;
leave tracks, scars, scratches, on
rocks and sand.
The trail led southwark. Ed
figured the thieves had about a
1O-hour start. Knowing they
might be pursued, they would push
on hard. And Ed and Shorty
would have to travel relatively
slowly, due to necessity of picking
out the exact route on areas that
had been crossed subsequently by
groups of other cattle.
The two punchers rode on, how
ever, until nearly shutdown, pausing
once at a water hole. It was a
day of hard work for their two
horses. The men were in country
strange to them, but they had
good sense of direction and knew
what lay ahead.
Nights we'll turn back" Ed
ruled, at last. "Ain't nothing
more we can do, Shorty. T:em
rustlers have gone into Mexico by
this time"
yeah"
They themselves could not cross
the line without violating interna-
tional law. And even if they did
cross, they would be just two men
with a six shooter each. They
headed for a grassy spot near a
highway and Ed staked out the
two horses to Craze.
You come on in tomorrer.
Shorty said. "I'll bum a ride and
give Doc tn news"
Shorty sat on the highway for
an hour, and finally a car came
along. 1t was going the wrong
way, but when Shorty explained
his situation the driver turned
around and took him all the wav
back to the DID ranch. Night had
set in, but a light shone in Bill
Baron's rooms and Shorty went
directly there.

"A bandage was tied around Bill.
"A bull bulldogged me. Knocked
the wind out of me, left a few

Shorty had to have full details
OF Bills accident first. The Brahma

fortunately had done no serious
damage. Bill admitted he was

Hooty perched on the top of one Of the
high fence posts. There he sat per-

however, 1t struck him that one Of the

He went on to the house. Presently
