Rock knows that Preston's som, Ash, dominates his father, but his interest in_ Thiry, Gage’s daughtcr, spurs him on. Chapter 45 “¥YOU ASK ME TO BE A THIEF?” Rock ran. He leaped the brook. He made the camp in bounds. “Thiry! Of all people! . .. AW I'm so glad—to see you,” he panted. “Howdy, Trueman!” Her smile was strained and she scarcely met his eager gaze. He had never se her in rider's garb. Could that make such difference? She wore a fan with blue scanf, gauntlets, overalls, and high boots. She looked like a boy until she dismounted. Rock had a wild de- sire to snatch her in his arms. “ v my pack and unroll id.
