When Ted Strong stepped out on the veranda the morning after the ball he
found Stella staring curiously at a large, square piece of paper stuck
on the wall of the ranch house.
Nobody in the house had risen early, as they had all been up very late,
except Song, the cook, who, when he saw that no one was disposed to turn
out for an early breakfast, had gone out to work in the garden, in which
he had with much skill raised an abundance of vegetables that year.
"Good morning, Stella; what is so interesting?" said Ted.
"It beats me," answered Stella. "I wonder if this is one of Ben's
witticisms. If it is, he ought to be spanked."
Ted was standing by her side, reading what had been printed on the
paper.
"H'm! this is good," said he, and read aloud, as if to himself, the
following warning:
"TED STRONG AND BRONCHO BOYS: You ought to know by this time that
you are not wanted in this part of the country. Advise you to sell
out and skip. If you stay your lives will be made a hell on earth,
and we have the stuff that will do it.
