he and Roy
had many a good time together, hunting, fishing, and rounding-up cattle.

It must be admitted that Roy was anxious to get home, to see his father
and tell his parent the details of what had transpired. He found his
father much improved, for which he was thankful.

"Roy, you did well--as well as any man could have done," said Mr.
Bradner. "I am proud of you." And his beaming face showed he meant
what he said.

It was a happy reunion. The cowboys were also glad to have the boy
among them again, and that night they held a sort of jollification,
lighting a big bonfire and shooting off their firearms as if it was the
Fourth of July. And here let us take our leave of The Boy from the
Ranch.
