They brought up thoughts of bucking bronchos, fights with Indians, and all the rest of the romance of the West. That this boy of about his own age could be a cowboy was really exciting. But he missed the woolly chaps and the sombrero. The boy was simply dressed in overalls, went barefooted and wore a heavy slouch hat.,"No. He picked it up in the bedroom.",That was not difficult, for the soft silk slipped into a knot as strong as if tied in hemp.,The boys gazed at each other and Maurice's chuckle echoed Billy's, although it was raspy and hoarse.，"Why, it's all ready," cried Patricia wondering at her changed manner. "We put the sliced lemon on the very last thing."，"You must have acted your part well, my child," said Captain Acton, viewing the girl with admiration and fondness.，He has so far recovered his courage that he has taken her hand, and is now holding it in a close grasp; and Mona, though a little frown still lingers on her low, broad forehead, lets her hand so lie without a censure.CHAPTER XIV THE UNMASKING OF JERRY
