In the last three days each couple that worked the range had found one or more of the new white-face bulls shot down in their territory.

I s'pose they're a good deal like dogs all right after a feller gets acquainted with 'em." "Some cows are ugly, I suppose," Gladys replied reflectively, taking Snip once more in her arms as the little fellow hung back in alarm when White-Face stopped to gather a tempting bunch of clover; "but Aunt Hannah has had this one ever since she was a calf, and we two are great friends.

See if you can find any place where it feels like I was going to lay down and let any yellow-livered son-of-a-gun try to ride me, and me not resent it," says he. "They started this and it's got to be finished that's the law. Believe me, one way or the other, that old white-face over there is going to be a good oxen sometime, and he'll come up and feed outen my hand."

"Some milk and " "She means with suds on, waiter." "No no; milk, I said milk over toast. Milk toast I gotta eat it. Why don't you lemme talk, Charley? I gotta tell you." He was suddenly sober. "What's hurting you?
Forty white-face bulls had been trail-herded from the railroad and thrown out along the foot of the hills to replace the other bulls that had been rounded up and brought in. These old stags now grazed in the big pasture lot until such time as the beef herd should be gathered and shipped.
We'll see to that in the morning. I must go after White-Face now, or we shall have a late supper. Have you seen anything of Gladys?" "She hasn't been here. Say, why can't I get the cow?"
