Mary Gibson, my first sweetheart, lived by the bridge, caught such a trout there by the by! had beautiful eyes black, round as a cherry five feet eight without shoes might have listed in the forty-second." "Who, Bunting!" said Walter smiling, "the lady or the trout?" "Augh! baugh! what? Oh, laughing at me, your honour, you're welcome, Sir.
Losing and regaining sight of them at different turns in the trail, she made out, as she rode among the trees, that they were cowboys of her own ranch, and riding, under evident excitement, about a strange horseman. She recognized in the escort Stormy Gorman, the ferocious foreman of the ranch, and Denison and Jim Baugh, two of the most reckless of the men.
'tis the devil!" grunted the Corporal, as the two men now gained their side and pulled up; and Walter recognised the faces he had marked in the ale-house. "Your servant, gentlemen," quoth the uglier of the two; "you ride fast " "And ready; bother baugh!" chimed in the Corporal, plucking a gigantic pistol from his holster, without any farther ceremony.
Theodore Baughman was foreman of our outfit. Baugh was a typical trail-boss. He had learned to take things as they came, play the cards as they fell, and not fret himself about little things that could not be helped. If we had been a month behind he would never have thought to explain the why or wherefore to old man Carter.
"Man of the world baugh!" grunted the Corporal, and his heart quite warmed to the stranger he had at first taken for a robber. "And now, Sir," said Sir Peter, patting his nag, and pulling up his cloak-collar still higher, "let us go gently; there is no occasion for hurry. Why distress our horses?

Late in the fall three worthies of the range formed a combine, and laid careful plans of action, in case they should get let out of a winter's job. "I've been on the range a good while," said Baugh, the leader of this trio, "but hereafter I'll not ride my horses down, turning back the brand of any hidebound cattle company."
About the beginning of the new year, the affliction which I have already mentioned, rendered me unfit for public service, and for about three months my brother and I stayed at the home of Brother Baugh on Dry Creek, where we read and studied and prayed and fought the affliction that had been imposed upon us.
For my part I think, but I've no business to think, howsomever baugh!" "Pray what do you think, Mr. Bunting? Why do you hesitate?" "'Fraid of offence but I do think that Master Aram your honour understands howsomever Squire's daughter too great a match for such as he!"
Man's a musquet, primed, loaded, ready to supply a friend or kill a foe charge not to be wasted on every tom-tit. But you! not a musquet, but a cracker! noisy, harmless, can't touch you, but off you go, whizz, pop, bang in one's face! baugh!" "Well!" said the good-humoured landlord, "I should think Master Aram, the great scholar who lives down the vale yonder, a man quite after your own heart.
