Chapter I. THE FLOWING RED DEVIL
THE man carried a .30-30 rifle in one hand and two boxes of cartridges, both open, in the other hand. He
acted as if ready to drop the cartridges and use the rifle any instant.

The girl had a shotgun.

"IтАЩve got a hunch guns ainтАЩt a lot of good against this thing!" the man muttered.

"WhatтАЩs the matter, Reservoir?" the girl asked. "Believe in hobgoblins?"

It was too dark to tell much about them, only that the man was tall and skinny, except for his middle, which
was big around, making him like a snake that had swallowed an egg. A nice snake, of course.

The girl was about the right size, and if she didnтАЩt have a good form, the darkness lied. It was impossible to
tell about her coloring.

"I still maintain I saw something coming out of the casing of that wildcat well, Miss Vida," the man muttered.
"Reservoir Hill may be old, but he ainтАЩt going nuts!"
The girl laughed. It was, somehow, not a very enthusiastic mirth.
