CHAPTER IX.
THE AMBUSH.
ssss1
A few moments after the departure of Panther Kate from the hotel, Buffalo Bill also left, having received word from Ben Tabor, the Texan, that he wished to have a few words with him in private.
Tabor, as has been stated, was a member of the band of Texans known as the Revolver Riders; and a number of his comrades were in Border City.
Buffalo Bill’s intention on leaving the hotel was to go to his temporary home, some distance out of the town.
“You are going out home, I take it?” said Tabor, addressing the scout when the two met. “Where is your horse? I want to speak with you, and if we ride out together that will give me the chance I want.”
“My horse is at the hotel stable,” said the scout.
“All right. I’ll get mine.”
They parted, to meet again in ten minutes.
“Where is your captain—Dash?” asked Buffalo Bill, as they started on the way to Cody’s cabin, which was distant perhaps five miles from Border City.
The direction took them along a trail passed over a short time before by Panther Kate as she went toward her ranch.
