A rattlesnake buzzed warning when he backed away and the shock to Buddy's nerves roused within him the fighting spirit. Rattlesnakes he knew also, as the common enemy of men and cattle. Once a steer had been bitten on the nose and his head had swollen up so he couldn't eat. Buddy did not want that to happen to HIM.
Stone," began Hal, "I don't want to bother you, but I'd like first rate to get more pay. If you could see your way to let me have that buddy's job, I'd be more than glad to divide with you." "Divide with me?" said Stone. "How d'ye mean?" Hal waited with some apprehension for if Mike had not assured him so positively, he would have expected a swing from the pit-boss's mighty arm.
Just tell the chauffeur to leave them off in front of the mission and I'll pick them up when I come over the trail from Sespe. I can make far better time over the hills without this suitcase, light as it is." "You're exceedingly welcome, Sergeant. And, by the way, I have decided not to contest your right to Panchito. It wouldn't be sporty of me to outbid you for your dead buddy's horse."
I " Buddy's face reddened, he dropped his eyes. "I don't mind tellin' you I It's like this I kinda got a girl!" "No!" The speaker was surprised, incredulous. "Sure have. She's wonderful. She's right here in this hotel!" "Buddy, you're developing!" Gray exclaimed, with apparent admiration. "I been showin' her the sights that's what ails me this morning.
Perhaps it is wise that you should go but don't you forget your music, Buddy and be a good boy, and remember, mother's going to follow you with her love and her faith in you, and her prayers." It may have been that Buddy's baby memory of going north whenever the trail herd started remained to send Bud instinctively northward when he left the Tomahawk next morning.
By this time Buddy's admiration had turned to adulation; he had passed under the yoke and he gloried shamelessly in his captive state. At supper time he appeared with his hair wetly combed in imitation of Gray's. He wore a necktie, too, and into it he had fastened a cheap brass stickpin, much as Gray wore his.
In Buddy's opinion, you never could be sure about God; He bestowed mysterious mercies and strange punishments, and His ways were past finding out. Buddy tipped his palms together and repeated all the prayers his mother had taught him and then, with a flash of memory, finished with "Oh, God, please!" just as mother had done long ago on the dry drive.
Gus was groping for words more eloquent of his displeasure at his son and his hatred for the object of Buddy's misplaced affections, when Gray forestalled him. "Just a minute. You are a rich man and you are growing richer. Careful, frugal, prosperous people like you are apt to become unduly hard and oversuspicious; but you mustn't permit it.
"We've got to get two runs to win," cried Billie Bushytail, "everybody work hard." "We will," cried Bully, the frog. Now you girls just listen carefully, something wonderful will happen in about a minute. Well, Peetie Bow Wow made one run, and then Bully and Billie got put out, and it was Buddy's turn to bat the ball. It all depended on him now. If he could make a home run his side would win.
From the time when he was four until he was thirteen Buddy's life contained enough thrills to keep a movie-mad boy of to-day sitting on the edge of his seat gasping enviously through many a reel, but to Buddy it was all rather humdrum and monotonous. What he wanted to do was to get out and hunt buffalo.
