"Maybe Len is trying some of his mean tricks again." "It's a trick, but it isn't any like that," said Skinny. "None of that Molick crowd is around here now." "But what's the matter?" demanded the ranchman. "Water or, rather lack of water," said the cowboy briefly. "The cattle are half mad with thirst I expect.
Jack, well mounted, with a pack-mule carrying supplies, had picked up Dick's trail, after it left Tularosa, from a scout out of Fort Grant. Slim Hoover headed for Fort Grant in his search for Jack. Although the ranchman had only a brief start of him, Slim lost the track at the river ford.
She believed her to be Blakely's sister, yet they could not give the reason why. They knew very little of Neil Blakely, but what they did know made them doubt that he could ever have been the one at fault. Over this problem both ranchman and soldier, Arnold and Stout, looked grave indeed. It was not like Blakely that he should make a victim of this young Indian girl.
Fascinated, the others watched as it hung a moment in the air and dropped directly over Blackhawk's head. "Pretty cast!" praised the ranchman. "Now ride along. Don't pull up too soon." But his words were too late. The pony which his elder son rode was perfectly trained to rope steers.
Without waiting for Morton to recover himself, Duncan calmly turned his back upon the ranchman, and threw open the door; then, stepping away from it, he said, with quiet dignity: "This is your way out, sir."
We closed contracts with former customers without looking at their cattle. When a ranchman gave us his word to deliver us as good or better beeves than the spring before, there was no occasion to question his ability, and the cattle never deceived.
What an eye you've got, child of mortality! Why I couldn't ha' done better myself! Glory be!" shouted the excited ranchman, fairly dancing in his pride and glee. Then he helped Alfy up from the ground, where she still lay, wondering at the excitement about her, and peered critically into her blue orbs. "However could you see it? That fur away?" "Why why, I didn't see it at all.
There are, or rather were, hundreds of stories current thirty-five years ago of stage-coach adventures on the Trail; a volume could be filled with them, but I must confine myself to a few. John Chisholm was a famous ranchman a long while ago, who had so many cattle that it was said he did not know their number himself.
"All right," said Frances, suppressing another sigh. "And I'm going to send off for half a carload of potted palms, and other plants. We'll decorate like the Town Hall. You'll see!" exclaimed the old ranchman, as eager as a boy about it all. Frances hadn't the heart to make any objection, but she was afraid that the affair would be a disappointment to him.
George is a typical ranchman, and my husband used to point him out to visitors as what a man might be, who grew up, or old, where 'there was room enough. Big-hearted, full of fun, tender as a woman, but intolerant of meanness and evil doing. It would be a dark day for Sobrante if ill befell our 'Marty." "Well, I don't know. Something's going to go wrong somewhere.
