hers on the Trail; or Diamond X
After Cattle Rustlers."

"Who's that down at camp?" asked Dick, as he pulled up a good-sized
fish and put it beside him on the grass.

"Looks like Nell and your mother," said Nort to Bud.

"It is!" Bud cried. "They said they'd come over, and Nell promised to
bring a pie! Come on; we got enough fish!"

And down the reservoir rushed the boy ranchers to greet their visitors.

"Any pie, Nell?" cried Bud.

"Sure," was the answer. "But it's for company--Dick and Nort!"

"Ho! I'd like to see 'em grab it all!" challenged Bud, as he reached
for the basket his sister held. "By Zip Foster I would!"

"Say, who is Zip Foster anyhow?" demanded Nort.

"Oh, I'll tell you--later!" chuckled Bud, and, as he removed the cover
of the basket, delighted "Oh!" and "Ah!" exclamations came from him and
his cousins at the sight within.

Some of the cowboys came riding back to camp from the round-up, Old
Billee cheerfully chanting:

"Oh, bury me deep on th' lone prairie!"

And with this happy mingling of the joyful and sad we will take leave
of the boy ranchers for a time.
