"Chorus!" shouted Captain Campbell, beating time: "Fol-de-rol-de-rol-de-ray Provoked a sad affray!" "That's not in the song!" protested Colonel Claus, but everybody sang it in whining tones. "Continue!" cried Captain Campbell, amid a burst of laughter. And such a dreadful carnage In Boston ne'er was known; They killed Samuel Maverick He gave a piteous groan."
When the song was finished, she exclaimed: "Oh, please do not stop, I love to listen to you; it reminds me of something I have heard long ago, I don't know when or where." "Do you never sing, Miss Maverick?" asked Rutherford. "Only sometimes for myself," she said, "I know only two or three songs that I have heard others sing."
He gave Captain Jack's ear a loving twitch, then turned to the Gold Dust maverick. She permitted him, without protest, to fondle her head and neck. His hand lingered long on the silky mane in which, a little while before, Carolyn June had twined her fingers.
But say, boss, what's all this racket about, anyhow? Some o' them eastern chaps comin' out here?" "That's none of your business, Jim," said Haight in a joking way, "you attend to what you've been told, and don't meddle with what don't concern you." "Is old Cameron comin' out here?" persisted Maverick, with an expression of fear and hatred combined, visible in his countenance.
Word was sent to the county seat, appointing a date with the surveyor, and on arriving at the new ranch I found that the corrals had been in active use by branding parties. We were soon in the thick of the fray, easily holding our own, branding every maverick on the range as well as catching wild cattle.
Then, before she could reply, he said, in a different tone, as though to change the conversation: "It will not be best to mention what I have told you to any one; there is no knowing what course Maverick might pursue if he had a hint of it, for he is a desperate man; but if there is any way in which Lyle's mind could be carried back and made to recall something of her past life, I wish it might be done."
Each tried to make me think that I should always be an outsider and a maverick if I didn't stand with his crowd. "Why," said N.V., "I feel sure that it won't take you long to make up your mind. This little group of men we have here," pointing to Henderson L. and Governor Wade, "are the County Ring that's trying to get this new county in their clutches the County Ring!"
"I reckon he's a maverick, 'though yu put yore brand on him up to Santa Fe a couple of years back. Since he's throwed back on yore range I reckon he's yourn if yu wants him." "I reckon Tex is some sore," remarked Hopalong, rolling a cigarette. "I reckon he is," replied the proprietor, tossing Buck's quarter in the cash box. "But, say, you should oughter see his rig." "Yaas?"
She pressed her hands against her cheeks and stepped away with a look of horror and disgust as the Ramblin' Kid backed out of the stall with the Gold Dust maverick. Outside he fumbled grotesquely at the silky mane and climbed weakly into the saddle. Chuck and Bert started toward him. "Get the hell " he snarled as he saw their horses mere shadow shapes they were to him approach. "Let him alone!"
"You need not be," Carolyn June interrupted, "the Gold Dust maverick and I know each other she understands me and I understand her she will be perfectly gentle with me!" The next day Carolyn June rode the wonderful outlaw mare. It was as she said. The filly was perfectly gentle with her. After that, every day, the girl saddled the Gold Dust maverick and, unafraid, took long rides alone.
