"I shall be glad to see him," he said, significantly. Bob knew what that meant.
"You must excuse me now, Mr. Wolverton," said Bob. "I must hurry home, as mother will be anxious to see me."
"Tell her I shall call very soon—on business."
"I will."
When they were out of hearing the boys laughed in amusement. They had a surprise in store for Wolverton.
CHAPTER XXXIX. CONCLUSION.
There was another arrival at Burton's Ranch the next day. Sam Wolverton came in charge of his new-found relative, Robert Granger. They took a carriage, and reached the ranch without attracting the attention of Aaron Wolverton.
Mrs. Burton welcomed her visitors, and expressed great pleasure at the discovery that Sam's fortunes were likely to be improved. Mr. Granger proposed to make a call upon the faithless guardian, but was saved the necessity, as Mr. Wolverton called early in the afternoon of the same day. He was in a hurry to show his power, and foreclose the mortgage. It was arranged that Sam and Mr. Granger should remain out of sight at first.
