“Yes, and there’s nothing now to keep me from heading north, after we get back to Keystone Ranch,” added Adrian. “I’m thinking of my place up there most all the time now; and it seems like I couldn’t keep back any longer. I must know the truth about what my uncle is doing there. If he’s acting square by me I want to forget I ever felt uneasy; and on the other hand, if there is any crooked work going on, which would account for the poor returns I’ve had of late years, why the sooner I make a change in my manager the better.” “Yes,” added Billie, with a tender look over to where Adrian sat on the opposite side of the glowing camp-fire, “and don’t forget, please, that we’re going to ride with you when you take that long trip.” “Sure we are,” declared Donald, heartily. “We’ve been pards so long now that what’s the injury to one is the same with all. When you start for your faraway ranch, Billie and Donald will be in the bunch, believe me!” And that this prophecy was later on fulfilled the reader may readily guess when he examines the next volume in this series, which is now on sale under the title of “The Broncho Rider Boys On the Wyoming Trail; Or, The Mystery of the Prairie Stampede;” and those who have come to admire the sterling nature of Adrian; the rugged honesty and get-there qualities of the ranchman’s son, Donald; and the humorous make-up of Billie, will find adventure and fun to their heart’s content between the covers of the succeeding volume.
