"Many ranches out that way have queer names," Mr. Leeds told them.
"This one takes its name from a small river which runs through it. You see, it is curved in the shape of an S and the country is so flat there that there is but a very slight current; in fact, it is only about a half a mile an hour."
"I'd sure like to see it, the ranch, I mean," Jack declared.
"I don't see why you can't," Mr. Leeds told him.
"Texas is a long way from here," Bob sighed as they again said good night.
When, five minutes later, Bob snapped on the light in their room, he looked at Jack and Jack looked at him.
"Well?"
"Of course," Jack replied.
"Of course what?"
"Of course we're going to Texas."
