How about you, Bob?” “If you want to play ball with us in the afternoons, you may,” said Otto. “It’s good we fixed up this door and put this bolt on,” Bob heard Wesley remark as the bar fell into place. “Now both of us can go back to the ranch so’s it won’t look suspicious. The kid is safe here till doomsday.”.
