"You bet I 'm a-stayin'," responded Tex. "Is that Lanky comin'?" "Hey, Lanky!" yelled Johnny, standing up and waving the approaching horseman towards them. "Pronto! Tex 's come back!" Lanky's pony's legs fanned a haze under him and he rammed up against Tex so hard that they had to grab each other. Everybody was talking at once and so they rode towards the bunk-house, picking up Billy on the way. "Where's Hopalong?" demanded Tex. "Married! H-l he is!" A strange look flitted across his face. "Well, I 'm d-d! An' where 's Red?" Johnny glanced ahead just in time to see Lee Hop sail around a corner of the corral, and he replied with assurance, "Red 's th' other side of th' corral."
