CHAPTER XI. 

Ike Watson's Arrival 

Let us go back to Allen. 

We left him just as the sound made by Paul's horse aroused the leader of the horse thieves, whose full name was Saul Mangle. 

"The feller that went over into the river, as sure as fate!" burst from the lips of Mangle, and he started back in astonishment. 

"Impossible!" cried Darry, the second man. "That feller must have been killed!" 

"See for yourself." 

With these words Saul Mangle sprang forward to stop Allen, who was about to mount Jasper. He reached the young man's side as Allen gained the saddle. 

"Come down out of that!" he cried, roughly. 

"Not much!" returned the young man. "Clear the track, unless you want to be run down!" 

He urged the horse forward. Jasper started, but ere he had taken three steps, Mangle caught him by the bridle. 

"Whoa!" he cried. "Whoa, I say!" 

"Let the horse go, do you hear?" ejaculated Allen, sharply. 

"I won't do it! Darry! Jeff! Come here, why don't you?" 

The others leaped into the brush. Allen saw that affairs were turning against him. He leaned forward to Jasper's neck. 

Smack! Mangle caught a sharp blow full across his mouth. It came so quickly that he staggered back and his hold was loosened. 

"On, Jasper, on, my boy!" cried Allen, slapping the animal with his palm. "Come, Rush! Come, Rush!" he added to Chet's horse, which stood close beside. 

Off went Jasper with a bound, and Rush followed at his heels.
