CHAPTER I

SOMETHING IN THE WIND

"What was that?"

"Only one of the boys in the seat behind us, snoring."

"Sure they're asleep?"

"Yes, but what if they're not? They are only kids. They wouldn't
understand."

"Don't you be too sure about that. I've heard about those kids. Heard
about 'em over in Nevada. There's four of them. They call themselves
the Pony Rider Boys; and they're no tenderfeet, if all I hear is true.
They have done some pretty lively stunts."

"Yes, that's all right, Bob, but we ain't going to begin by getting
cold feet over a bunch of kids out for a holiday."
