“Well,” said Dick, “I should advise that Gabriel be carefully guarded. Jones is a desperate man. There is no telling what he may attempt.”
“I do not believe he will be able to do much damage now,” declared Shirley. “Leonard is with Gabriel all the time.”
“I wouldn’t take any chances.”
“We won’t.”
“And you say Jimmy will be in condition to ride?”
“Yes.”
“Good; but I must be leaving you now. I hope I shall see you again before you return home,” and lifting his hat, Dick turned away.
“Will you go to the Derby with us?” Shirley called after him.
Dick hesitated a moment before replying.
“I shall be glad to,” he said at length.
