And he boomed forward toward the dining room, to find there men he had known in other days, to shake hands with them and to bang them on the back, to sight Blindeye Bozeman and Taylor Bill sitting hunched over their meal in the corner and to go effusively toward them. "'Arry" was playing no favorites in his "'ome-coming."
The railroad has been laid straight through the post, and it looks very strange to see the cars running directly back of the company quarters. The long tunnel it is to be called the Bozeman tunnel that has been cut through a large mountain is not quite finished, and the cars are still run up over the mountain upon a track that was laid only for temporary use.
Supply trains to Reno, Kearney and C. F. Smith, the Big Horn posts of the Bozeman Trail went to and fro with guards of only moderate size. Officers had taken their wives and children to these far-away stations. The stockades were filled with soldiers' families.
The road from Billings to Bozeman led them part of the distance along the Yellowstone river, and through a country wild and picturesque in the extreme.
The supper was simply delicious as all army suppers are and I fancy that she and other ladies of the garrison were responsible for the perfect salads and cakes. The orchestra was from Bozeman, so the music was very good.
He had informed the inn-keeper of his intention of going to Bozeman, a town lying to the north of the Crow Reservation. Manning resolved, therefore, to press right on, and he returned to the railroad station, where the train was still waiting.
One day, since we came, the engineer lost control, and the big black thing seemed almost to drop down the grade, and the shrieking of the continuous whistle was awful to listen to; it seemed as if it was the wailing of the souls of the two men being rushed on perhaps to their death. The thing came on and went screaming through the post and on through Bozeman, and how much farther we do not know.
Taylor Bill and Blindeye Bozeman had been caught at work in a cross-cut tunnel which led to the property of the Blue Poppy mine, and one of them, at least, had admitted that the sole output of the Silver Queen had come from this thieving encroachment. Then Anita completed the recital, of the plans of the Rodaines to leave and of their departure for Center City.
Then he released them, with a warning. "I shall stand in the trail," he said. Those were the words of Pontiac, to Major Rogers, one hundred years before. United States officials were ordered to Fort Laramie, to talk with the angry Red Cloud. He declined to meet them. But already a number of white gold-seekers had entered by this Bozeman Trail, as it was known.
After his work was all done he came in and said, with a smile that was almost a grin, "I go now I send 'nother boy," and go he did. But the "other boy" came in time to give us a delicious breakfast, and everything went on just the same as when old Charlie was here. He is in Bozeman and comes to see us often. This Charlie takes good care of my chickens that are my pride and delight.
