accompany her to the town of Pickaxe to register and transfer the deed, but
he had to go out-of-town on business. A bit miffed, she decides to make the
trip alone. After the stage drops her off in the middle of the prairie by a
pile of crates and barrels, she waits in the hot sun for the freight driver
from Pickaxe. He is not helpful; she has to put her own luggage in the wagon
and climb up on her own. When she arrives in Pickaxe she finds the local
citizenry even less helpful, with the exception of Richard Danby, a young
mute boy. When Matt finds out she made the trip on her own he sends Thad to
check on her, and send a letter back on the stage concerning her welfare.
After Thad arrives, dead tired from riding all night, Richard takes him and
Kitty up to the mine. There they find Pa Gibbijohn and his two boys, Jud and

Ed, jumping her claim. They manage to chase the rascals off, but when Pa
later learns that Kitty and Thad found a pocket of gold he and his boys
return to try and steal what they've mined. Thad is accidentally shot by one
of the inept Gibbijohn clan and never does get a letter off to Matt telling
him that Kitty is alright. Worried, Matt decides to head up to Pickaxe.… Expand
