I have to go out on the field and I don't have time to fool around. "'No, I told him, 'I'm serious! McGraw is right here and he says he'll sell me for seven thousand five hundred buckaroos! Do you want to talk to him? "'Of course I do, Robbie said. And right then and there I was traded from the Giants to the Dodgers.
"Given away?" said Bull with a sudden interest. And then he remembered that horses were outside of his education entirely. He listened with gloomy attention while his host went on. "Yes, sir. Given away is what I said and given away is what I mean. Old Chick Bridewell has kept him long enough, he says. He's tired of paying buckaroos for getting busted up trying to ride that hoss.
Presently Gus flopped down on his head and, while the horse gave up for a moment, Blinky slipped the noose off one foot and tied the other foot up with it. They let the roan rise. On three feet he gave a wonderful exhibition of bucking. When he slowed down they drove him behind the rope corral. "The night's gone, the day's come, the work's begun," sang out Blinky. "Eat dust, you buckaroos."
The blazing lights of the yacht club were reflected in the blue-black mirror of the boat basin. Bud parked and they went inside. "Welcome, buckaroos!" Chow Winkler greeted them with an enthusiastic bellow as they entered the dance room. The old cowpoke was splendidly dressed in a maroon satin shirt and white whipcord breeches tucked into shiny new boots.
Just now his smile was masking some grim joke and his eyes held the mild light of pity. "Well, Hank," he drawled at last, when Porter had wound up his story, "that yarn, as much as I get of it, would lead the average hombre to pick you out as a sho' 'nuff flyer. I would myself. Me, I'm easy fooled that way. I reckon all you buckaroos think you know somethin' about flyin', eh?"
The time has gone by when we could ride over there and haze his bunch clear out uh the country on a high lope, with our six guns backing our argument. I kinda wish," he added pensively, "we hadn't got so damn' decent and law-abiding. We could get action a heap more speedy and thorough with a dozen or fifteen buckaroos that liked to fight and had lots uh shells and good hosses.
That'll turn them toward the gate to the blind corrals. We'll close in there, and that'll take riding, my buckaroos!" Blinky was the most obstreperously responsive to Pan's long harangue. Pan thought he understood the secret of the cowboy's strange elation. After all, what did Blinky care for horses or money?
It'll have to be a fence too thick and high for horses to break through or jump over. That means work, my buckaroos, work! When that's done we'll go up the valley, get behind the wild horses and drive them down." Loud indeed were the commendations showered upon Pan's plan. Blinky, who alone had not voiced his approval, cast an admiring eye upon Pan.
He had realized that any fellow officially elected to make love especially when he didn't want to do it in the first place ought to be allowed to go ahead and make it without having a lot of darned buckaroos butting in on the job. The way the others had acted was a regular disgrace! Chuck, Bert, Charley and Pedro were nervously happy.
A three-deck craft, it was equipped with complete laboratory facilities for research in any corner of the globe. Jet lifters in the belly of the fuselage enabled the craft to take off vertically and also to hover. As Tom supervised the loading of the equipment, a foghorn voice boomed, "'Mornin', buckaroos!" The chunky figure of Chow Winkler came into view.
