Excerpt: ...the ranchman lapsed into silence for a few minutes and then declared: "No cattle thieves can drive me out of business, Nails. I have the right on my side, and right always triumphs."

But at last the buildings of the ranch home came into view, and soon Mr. Wilder and Nails were at the corral. "Saddle the best of the bunch for me," ordered the ranchman as he dismounted. "I'll go to the house for a bite and then start for the Three Stars." "What about me?" inquired the cowboy, disappointment in his voice at the thought of being left behind. "I want you to ride into Tolopah. Don't say anything about the raid. Just listen round and see if you can learn anything." And turning on his heel, Mr. Wilder started for the house.
