Los
Angeles in Luck's book, but they waited a little longer so that he might
the sooner taste a little of the sweets of revenge.
Whether Bently Brown and Martinson saw _The Phantom Herd,_ Luck was a
long, long time finding out. But he learned that some one else did see
it, and that right speedily. For among his many telegrams that came
clicking into Albuquerque was this one which makes a fitting end to
this story:
Luck Lindsay
Albuquerque
New Mexico

Dewitt
"All right, boys, you can run and play." Luck handed them the telegram,
looked at his watch, and began to roll down his sleeves. "I'll catch the
next train for 'Los' and see Dewitt,--don't take any studying to know
that's the thing to do,--and if you'll pack all this negative, Bill, I'll
take that along and hire the rest of the prints made. Andy, you're riding
herd on this bunch while I'm gone. Just hold yourselves ready for orders,
because I don't know how things will shape up. But believe me, boys,
she's shaping up like a bank-roll!"
