Punching cows on a remote northern range had repaid him in health far more than his old game of living on his wits and other people's lack of them, as proved by his clear eye and the pink showing through the tan above his beard; while his somber, steady gaze, due to long-held fixity of purpose, indicated the resourcefulness of a perfectly reliable set of nerves.
Some were on the rings and bars, others were using the parallel bars and horses, and still others were at the pulling and lifting machines. In one corner two of the boys were boxing, while another was hammering a punching bag as hard as he could. The boy at the punching bag was a tall, big-boned youth, named Lew Flapp.
"It's something if a man serves where he's listed," Colonel John remarked. Bale smiled. "And don't betray his own side," he said. He slipped from his saddle. "You think it's the devil's work we've done?" Colonel John asked. But Bale declined to say more, and the two walked on, one on either side of the horse, master or man punching it when it showed a desire to sample the herbage.

"He didn't like the work, because he had been raised differently. He lived in Albany before he went West. His father, William Keegles, was in the hardware business with a man named Langford David Dowd Langford.
Then, if he did wince a little at first, does not the old traitor deserve it; first, for his disloyal intention of punching mine anointed body black and blue with his vile foils and secondly, his atrocious complot with Will Shakspeare, a fellow as much out of date as himself, to read me to death with five acts of a historical play, or chronicle, 'being the piteous Life and Death of Richard the Second? Odds-fish, my own life is piteous enough, as I think; and my death may match it, for aught I see coming yet.
The Banker, being naturally indignant, attempts to relieve his mind by punching FERNANDE's head. Heroic interference by POMMEROL, and consequent tableau. Curtain. SATIRICAL PERSON, to one of the ushers. "Will you tell me what street this house is in?" USHER. "Twenty-fourth street, sir." SATIRICAL PERSON. "All right.
There are plenty of chances to work, punching cattle, but I don't think chances are good for a foreman's place." He was a kindly man, and repented when he saw how the young man's face fell.
