"It was in the tussle that Jan got his
ankle sprained, but your guide landed his man. Sometimes Jan may seem
slow, but in a rumpus he's a terror for speed, decision, and grit. We
were heading up the White Trail, hoping to head you off, when we ran
into Jan and Valdes."
Later, at the county seat the Meadow-Brook Girls were permitted to put
their evidence against Big Charlie, whom they recognized and
identified. Charlie was held for trial, and afterward sent back to
prison for a much longer term than his first one.
The Meadow-Brook Girls regretted parting with Janus Grubb, whom they
held in the highest esteem. But Janus was not able to guide any one
for the next fortnight or longer, so he recommended a new guide, who
led the Meadow-Brook Girls on a long mountain "hike" over beaten
trails. Then, at last, Harriet Burrell and her friends reluctantly
turned homeward.
