Synopsis: Stolen from his home, Buck has to rely on his instincts to survive.
Excerpt:
The Judge was at a meeting of the Raisin Growers' Association, and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club, on the memorable night of Manuel's betrayal. No one saw him and Buck go off through the orchard on what Buck imagined was merely a stroll. With the exception of one man, nobody saw them arrive at the little station known as College Park, where the man talked with Manuel, and money changed hands between them.

- The Judge was attending a meeting.
