"Stands in need of doctorin'," the other man spoke up, "and the meat's spoilin', and we ain't got time for nothin'." "Beggar don't have anythin' to say. Don't savve the burro." "Looks as he might have been mixin' things with a grizzly or somethin', all battered and gouged. Injured internally, from the looks of it. Where'll you have him?" Frona, standing by St.
Taking that point of view and keeping it, Casey managed very well. Other times he treated the Ford exactly as he would treat a burro, with satisfactory results.
"Loco Gringoes out after burro deer," was how the officials were led to judge them. Barlow, gone several hours, reported that Escobar had not turned up at the waterfront dives to which, according to the murdered Juarez, he reported now and then to keep in touch with his outlaw commander.
The man who possessed it had been known far and wide and, at that time, he was the sole owner of such a rifle in all that region. Yet, with this infallible clew to the identity of French Pete's murderer at hand, it had been assumed that the bullet was 30-30. De Launay envisioned that worn and battered rifle butt projecting from the scabbard slung to the burro in Sulphur Falls.
The boys wanted to know if they should set off in pursuit of their errant guide, but Mr. Bell said that it would be the best thing to let him go if he wished. "He was more of a hindrance than a help," he declared, "and he and his burro between them ate far more than their share of food."

Splashing through the creek, he disappeared in the dark shadow of a thicket of alders and willows, where the road crosses a tiny rivulet that flows from a spring a hundred yards above.
A burro wouldn't smell it, and it could crawl out during the night and take a good straight bite!" teased Eleanor. Polly laughed, but Barbara thought Eleanor meant it, so she replied: "Then Polly had better go in and see if everything is safe for the night." Anne had been so rudely shocked that day at the selfishness apparent in Barbara's character, that she did not try to hide her opinion.
In his past were tucked away months on end of tramping across deserts and up mountain defiles with a packed burro nipping patiently along in front of him and this same, seductive dream beckoning him over the next horizon. Burros had been slow.
Three or four miles below the junction a four-hundred foot perpendicular wall rose above us. The burro, on our previous visit, was almost shoved off that cliff when the pack caught on a rock, and was only saved by strenuous pulling on the neck-rope and pack harness. Soon we passed some tunnels on both sides of the river where the Mormon miners had tapped a copper ledge.
