around her.
Ladue Decker!
For a moment, Rusty, perched
in her mountainside eyrie, stared
through the glasses at Decker,
down in the rustlers' camp in the
valley. So he was one of the
gang! The shock of the discov-
cry was overwhelming.
Then, remembering the job she
had to do, she dropped the glasses
and looked at her watch. The
time had come for her to divert
the gangs attention while Ralph,
Herb and their aides closed in on
the camp.
With all her strength, she
pushed at a pyramid of boulders,
sent them crashing down the cliff,
