Bob jumped to his feet and began pulling the trigger of his revolver as fast as his fingers would work. Then, yelling, he followed Ted and the Apache in the rush down the hillside. “About twelve years ago,” he said when his pipe was well lighted, “after a great deal of agitation over it, Congress passed a bill which created the thing we call the Reclamation Service.

As Bob was talking, Mr. Taylor took the telephone receiver off the hook and called a number. “Just look inside! Just look!” he continued. They found something to eat and water to wash in and felt ten times better..
