And to take a horse from the Bar T corral would lay him open to that greatest of all range crimes -- horse-stealing . To-night his guards had been doubled . One paced up and down outside his window and the other sat in the dining-room on which his door opened . Now , at ten o'clock the entire Bar T outfit was asleep . Since placing the bunk-house at the disposal of the cowmen from other ranches , the punchers slept on the ground -- rolled in their blankets as they always did when overtaken by night on the open range . At ten-thirty Bud put out his candle , undressed , and went to bed . But he could not sleep .
