If Dorgan had stolen Monty, it was pleasant to think that he was now wending his way across the plains on foot.
Another idea occurred to Whitey.

"Why don't you stay with me, Injun ?" he demanded.

"Then we can ride back to the Bar O together." Injun grinned his agreement to the idea, not saying that he had thought of it first.

So Whitey transferred his person to Monty, and, leading the Star Circle horse, he and Injun and Hank Dawes continued on their way.
And Mr.Dawes was allowed to ride ahead while Whitey told Injun what had befallen him since leaving the Bar O Ranch, and of his present errand.
Injun cast a knowing eye at the sky.

"No cut out cows t'day," he said.
"Heap storm comin'." "What's the difference ?" Whitey asked.
