When they reached Rye the next day, Chet bought food supplies and loaded the packhorses. They headed west on the trail for the Verde. Nightfall came and they camped. The temperature dropped after sundown and everyone took a turn at watching the sullen prisoner sleep.

The next day they crossed the Verde river and reached Yeager’s ranch by mid-afternoon.

His wife Sheila made them sit and eat a real meal. The saddle-weary crew never argued. They left the prisoner chained and under a blanket. The warmth of her house and fireplace drove the cold out of them. Her rich food spoiled them and they all smiled at her generous ways.

“Sheila,” Lefty said. “Ma’am, if you ever need anything, let us know. For something as little as a polecat killing your chickens, we’ll ride over here and get rid of him.”

“Yes,” Roamer said. “As long as you feed us.”

They all laughed

Yeager shook his head. “We appreciate all of you coming by. We don’t get many folks. Come by here any time. Sheila will always feed you.”
