eleven o'clock before
Back at the Shooting Star ranch the three others , Nort , Billee Dobb and Yellin ' Kid , were occupying themselves with the business of the day . The Kid having reported on the condition of the `` shacks , '' Nort decided that a new bunk house would be necessary before the shearing season to accommodate the extra men . He and Yellin ' Kid , together with Billee Dobb , then lazed about the place , awaiting the return of Dick and Bud . It was eleven o'clock before Dick came riding into the yard . `` Bring any grub back with you ? '' `` No . The store said the buckboard would be right over , almost as soon as I got here .
