The Secret of Shadow Ranch
““Are you okay?” he asked anxiously, helping her to sit up. “Any bones broken?”
“No,” said Nancy. “I guess I’m just bruised. Have I been lying here long?”
“Only a few minutes,” Dave replied. “I saw you smack into that palomino and go sailing off. You really reached for the moon!”
Dave lifted Nancy to her feet and steadied her for a moment. As she thanked him, she could hear horses whinnying and men shouting.
“That phantom sure spooked the palominos,” Dave said. “Did you get a good look at it?”
N...ancy shook her head regretfully. “I didn’t get close enough to see how it was rigged.”
A horseman reined up beside them. It was Walt Sanders. “Fences have been cut!” the ranch foreman barked. “We’ve got to round up those palominos. Could take all night or longer if they run into the hills.”
He spurred off and Dave turned to Nancy. “Can you make it to the house by yourself?”
“Don’t worry about me,” she assured him. “I’m fine.”
Dave looked around in the darkness, but there was no sign of Nancy’s horse.MoreLess
