"Ratty will come to you for his time. I'm going to pay him off this noon. I've got good reason for letting him go." "I bet ye," agreed Sam, for whatever Frances said or did was right with him. Pratt insisted upon Frances meeting all these people from Amarillo. There was Mrs. Bill Edwards, whom she already knew, as chaperon.
The girls meanwhile made much of the old Captain all but Sue Latrop. But she did not count for as much as she had at the beginning of her visit at the Edwards ranch. The other young folk had begun to find her out. The punchers who were off duty were attracted to this gay party on the porch, as naturally as flies gravitate to molasses. The Amarillo girls and, of course, Mrs.
The horses, being cow-ponies, were of course as keen and as green as the players, and the game became a most dangerous one to take part in. Still we kept on, no one was very badly hurt, and we had lots of glorious gallops fast games in fact. The word "polo" is derived from Tibetan pulu, meaning a knot of willow wood. In Cachar, and also at Amarillo, we used bamboo-root balls.
Most of the others were young people, although nearer Pratt's age than that of the ranchman's daughter. Sue Latrop was the only one from the East. She had been to Amarillo before, and she evidently had much influence over her girl friends from that Panhandle city, if over nobody else.
Must be Paul Draper from Amarillo. He's the only one I know around these parts who owns a Hammond. Come to think, though, his car is gray." "He's probably had it painted lately," suggested Stratton quietly. "Much obliged. I thought I'd seen him before some place." "I had an idea that's who it was when you described him," said Sheriff Hardenberg, to whom Stratton returned at once with the news.
The enmity caused by this latter contest is always bitter. But always anything to boost the town! This little town actually last year paid a large sum to the champion motor-car racer of America to give an exhibition in Amarillo. Even a flying-machine meeting was consummated, one of the first in the whole West.
Believe me, by this time he's doped out an iron-clad alibi, or something, and we wouldn't have a chance. But if one of the Shoe-Bar gang should turn State's evidence, that's another matter." "Aren't you afraid he may beat it if you let him go that long?" "I'll see to that. One of my men will start for Amarillo right away and keep him in sight till we come back.
A convict negro must work; the free negro won't. Finally I bought some city lots in the town of Amarillo the most valuable lots I could find, right at the city's pulse, the centre of business; in my judgment they would in all probability always be at the centre, and that as the city grew so would their value grow, and thus the unearned increment would be secured.
From the site where Amarillo is now we had all the Buffalo meat we wanted, and when we struck what is now the city of Trinidad, Colorado, we followed the stream known as and called the "Picket Wire," down to the Arkansas river, and as we were in the heart of the Buffalo country, we were not out of the sight of herds of Buffalo all the way down to that river.
Besides, in her secret heart she, too, was troubled about the young fellow from Amarillo. She wondered what the robber at the ford thought about it when he got the old trunk open and found in it nothing but some junk and rubbish she had found in the attic of the ranch-house.
