From the pupils radiated fine lines. The blank, cold, inscrutable stare of them bored me through to the back of the neck. I suppose the man winked occasionally, but I never got that impression. I've noticed that owls have this same intent, unwinking stare and wildcats. "Mr. Hooper," said I, "can you keep me over night?" It was a usual request in the old cattle country.
