It was impossible for McGuire to know or comprehend that, in the eyes of the cattleman, his case and that of the calf were identical in interest and demand upon his assistance. A creature was ill and helpless; he had the power to render aid these were the only postulates required for the cattleman to act. They formed his system of logic and the most of his creed.
I've got to know just where you stand and just which way you are headed before I can get anywhere. He drew out his pad and very methodically began to set down figures as the cattleman talked. Finally: 'It's the bank's money, not my own, that I'll be advancing you, you know. I am pretty well sewed up personally as usual.
The current swirled around his thighs and tugged at him. The cattleman flung the rope. It fell short. He pulled it in and rewound the coil. This time he drove his horse into deeper water. The animal was swimming when the loop sailed across to the willows. Dillon caught it, slipped it over his body, and drew the noose tight. A moment later he was being tossed about by the cross-currents.
"Well, now that you've found your brother, I suppose you'll shake Bar U ranch and me," said Mr. Carson some time later. "Not much!" cried Dave with shining eyes, as his arm went around Benjamin. "I'm a cattleman first, last and always. If you haven't any room for me here I'll have to start out and work for some one else, I guess."
I've had complete reports on it. I know what I'm doing." "It'll keep them, all right," spoke up the younger, "which is saying they won't die. But they'll come out in the fall awful pore." "I'm using my judgment as to that," said Plant. "Yore judgment is pore," said the younger Pollock, bluntly. "You got to be a cattleman to know about them things."
They had private information about who was in the rooms from about 9.55 till 10.10. The cattleman corrected his statement. "All right, say between 9.30 and 10.05. During that time Hull may have shot my uncle. Or Olson may have opened the window while my uncle lay there helpless, killed him, stepped outa the window again, an' slipped down by the fire escape.
Sometimes some of the branded cattle wander off while grazing, but if a cattleman from Central Wyoming came upon an animal hundreds of miles north in Montana, bearing his brand, he would promptly cut out the brute from another herd, whose owner would not think of making objection. It happens now and then that some of the cattle stray off before they are branded.
My neck's in the noose, ain't it?" screamed the former convict. "Has everybody in the park got to know we're hiding Dingwell here? Better put it in the paper. Better " "Enough of that, Dan. Dad is running this show. Obey orders, and that lets you out," retorted the young man curtly. "You've met my sister, haven't you, Dave?" The cattleman smiled at the girl. "Sure.
"Meaning just what?" asked Carson. "Meaning that I am going to get him, get him any way I can! You let us fight this out our way, any way, and no interference!" "Talk to Bud there," rejoined the old cattleman calmly. "It ain't my scrap."
"Rutherford is going to frame me, is he? I'm to go to the pen in place of the whole bunch. Is that it?" "No, you've guessed wrong. Yore hide is safe this time, Meldrum," the cattleman explained. "Reach for the roof. No, don't do that. . . . Now, turn yore face to the wall." Dave stepped forward and gathered in the forty-four of the enemy. He also relieved him of his "skinning" knife.
