THE THREE YOUNG RANCHMEN TALKED IT OVER
"I am afraid somebody has played Uncle Barnaby foul," cried Allen, his face full of anxiety. "If he had left of his own accord we would have heard from him."
"That's just my idea of it," said Paul. "But the thing of it is, who met him in San Francisco, and what did they do?"
To that question Allen could only shake his head.
"I am too tired to say much about it to-night," he said at last. "I must sleep on it."
Allen wished to retire early, but before he did so Chet told him of Captain Grady's visit.
"We won't stir," said Allen, briefly. "Let him sue Uncle Barnaby. We have nothing to do with it. Our first duty is to find uncle."
