Joe and July see a herd of thousands of cattle. They meet Wilbarger, who is reading a book by Milton. He tells them that Jake is headed in this direction. July considers going with Wilbarger but decides against it.
Roscoe is amazed at how far Janey can walk, even without shoes. She is quiet during the day, but she has nightmares every time she sleeps. When they meet various people on the trail, Janey hides, worried that Sam might be with them. Two rough men—Hutto and Jim—confront them but then let them go. However, Janey soon notices that they’re being followed. The men catch them and tie their hands, but Janey escapes.
She throws rocks at them, holding them at bay until July arrives and saves them. He ties the outlaws up, puts them on their horses, and goes toward Fort Worth. Janey catches up an hour later and gets on Roscoe’s horse. A woman at a livery stable agrees to board Janey. Joe and Roscoe still want to go with July. The next morning, they see that Janey has followed them.
