CHAPTER I.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE NUGGET.
"Yes, sir; it's just like I tell you. Every coyote on this here ranch,mean and sneaking as he is, is worth forty dollars to the man who cancatch him."
"Then what is the reason Carlos and I can't make some money thiswinter?"
"You mout, and then again you moutn't. It aint everybody who can coaxone of them smart prowlers to stick his foot in a trap. If that was thecase, my neighbors would have had more sheep, and Elam Storm would beworth a bushel of dollars.
