In a slow fever of apprehension Hardy rode ceaselessly along the rim of Bronco Mesa, without finding so much as a track.
I flung myself off Jingo and slid down somehow into the sand, thirty feet below. Here was Joe safe enough, but the bronco lay with a broken leg, and half under him was Gwen. She hardly knew she was hurt, but waved her hand to me and cried out, 'Wasn't that a race? I couldn't swing this hard-headed brute.
As he stood stock-still, looking on while Bud Lee rode a bucking bronco, his eyes were bright and eager. "Glory to be!" he exclaimed to the major, who had been coaxed away from the buffet for a brief half-hour. "Watch that man ride! While I've been learning to dance and play the piano these men have been doing real things." "Let's go have something," said the major hurriedly.
"And while we usually object, we've never had more fun or thrills than when she leads us into adventure." "Maybe so. But..." began Joy. "And so I say," continued Shirley, "let Bet lead the way and we'll follow. If it's treasure, we'll help her dig. And if she goes in for fancy bronco busting, that's O. K. too." "Oh, Shirley, don't say that! You make me feel responsible and I don't want that.
It reminded me of cowboy honor, which prompts a rider never to "touch leather," no matter how his bronco may be bucking. And omelette, I was later reminded, comes from the French alumelle, which means ship's plating, a bit of etymology well authenticated by Struthers' skillet. Wednesday the Twenty-third Summer is here, here in earnest, and already we've had a few scorching days.
"I hope you don't take such risks, Maud." "No; Flo and I have graduated from what is called 'the bronco bunch, and now do platform work entirely. To be sure we assume some minor risks in that, but nothing to compare with the other lines of business." "I hope the little girl you mentioned will get well, and has enough money to tide her over this trouble," said Uncle John anxiously.
Dud's observation, when he and Bob took the back trail along the river to find the missing bronco, confirmed that of Buck Hawks. He found the place where a horse had clawed its way out of the stream to the clay bank. From here it had wandered into the sage and turned toward the home ranch. The tracks showed that Powder River was moving slowly, grazing as it went.
And I made up my mind that if the missionary were the right sort his coming might not be a bad thing for the Old Timer and perhaps for more than him. It was Hi Kendal that announced the arrival of the missionary. I was standing at the door of my school, watching the children ride off home on their ponies, when Hi came loping along on his bronco in the loose-jointed cowboy style.
Perhaps our most cherished possessions are a Remington bronze, "The Bronco Buster," given me by my men when the regiment was mustered out, and a big Tiffany silver vase given to Mrs. Roosevelt by the enlisted men of the battleship Louisiana after we returned from a cruise on her to Panama.
He said: "Them are what we would call broke ponies, and you fellers needn't get to worryin' 'bout them little girls you're jest a-foolin' away good time." Nevertheless, the broncos had the lurking devil in the tails of their eyes as they stood there tied to the wire fencing; they were humble and dejected as only a bronco or a mule can simulate.
