First Line:
Po-ko's face was like a thundercloud as she watched Little Beaver hitch their two ponies to the wagon tongue.
Synopsis:
Po-ko's angry that Little Beaver traded a watch for a makeshift wagon. In Whoop-up Canyon, Beaver sees a dust cloud over the hill knowing it's rustlers. He knows the tracks of six of Red's horses. Red arrives and they follow him. Two rustlers hide in an empty Navajo hut, shooting. Red has 'em pinned but can't advance. The "small brown" youngster drives the ponies pulling the "'wagon'" up to the mesa top, launches three wheels at the badmen, destroys the hut. Red binds them, promises Beaver a better wagon from his ranch than his would ever be. Little Beaver brags he's a good trader.
