When Bob reached the shack he found all the boys off duty in bed except Slim and Grumpy.
"Now, what do yer know 'bout that?" Grumpy growled after Bob had delivered Jeb's message. "After workin' all night, too."
"But think o' the glory," Slim told him.
"Glory nuthin'. Whar's the glory in chasin' all over the country an' never findin' anything?"
"But the sheriff thinks this is going to be an exception," Bob told him.
"Aw, he's allays thinkin' that kind o' stuff," Grumpy snorted as he turned in.
Bob found Los out behind the corral still working on the fence, and he watched him closely as he told him about the coming hunt, but there was no trace of surprise or fear in the man's manner as he listened.
"Did Jeb say he wanted me ter go?" he asked.
"No, not particularly. He just said to tell you together with the rest of the men."
"Well, tell him I'll go 'long," he said after a moment's thought. "I planned ter get this fence done ter day, but that's up ter him. Don't make no difference ter me."
