THE BRONCHO RIDER BOYS WITH THE TEXAS RANGERS
[CHAPTER I.—A MULE HUNT IN THE CHAPARRAL.]
“Crack!” went Broncho Billie’s revolver and the silver dollar which had been tossed into the air as a target went spinning into the yellow waters of the Rio Grande as a result of Billie’s unerring aim.
“Not a bad shot, Ad,” remarked Billie with a laugh as he ejected the shell from the cylinder and shoved a fresh cartridge into the empty chamber of the revolver. “I don’t miss ’em very often now, and this time the river is a dollar in.”
“Yes,” replied Adrian, a bit crestfallen, “and I’m a dollar out.”
“Didn’t think I’d hit it, eh?” and Billie’s round face broadened till it looked like a full moon.
