She was therefore much relieved when Kid appeared on the scene, telling the men in no uncertain language what he thought of their conduct. There seemed to be a particularly rough element on the ranch at that time, for within a few days after befriending Mesquite, Kid was called upon to take the part of a young white woman who suffered insult at the hands of the rowdies. This time, however, Kid did not escape without a quarrel, in which he roundly punished the main offender, leaving him in an unconscious condition. Kid thought it well to "make himself scarce," until peace was restored and hurried away from the scene of trouble, pursued by the sheriff. Then it was that Mesquite displayed her gratitude. Encountering Kid in his flight, she formed a clever plan of hiding him in a tree until the sheriff's party had passed, when she conducted him to her camp and secured the chief's permission to hide him. Kid sends the girl with a note to his friends, inquiring if the coast is clear, and she conducts them to his hiding-place. The roughs awaken to their ill-bred conduct and resolve to cause Kid no more annoyance. He is therefore permitted to return unmolested to the ranch, but it is not long before he again visits the Indian camp, this time to lead Mesquite away to become his bride.
