He represented very well the type of officer which these disorderly communities produce. Brave and tireless when working along the line of his prejudices, he could be most laxly inefficient when his duties cut across his own or his neighbor's interests. Being a cattle-man by training, he was glad of the red herring which the Texas officer had trailed across the line of his pursuit.
And yet-it must be heavenly to love a man who would kill you." Miss Chapin lost herself in meditation for an instant. "Culver is almost like that when he is angry. Hello, here comes our foreman!" Stover, a tall, gangling cattle-man with drooping grizzled mustache, came shambling up to the steps.
Just before they went to sleep the drummer said to me: "Say, parson, we've got to give those children some Christmas." "That's what," said the cow-boy. "I'm agreed," added the cattle-man. "Madam," said the drummer, addressing the woman with the easy assurance of his class, after a brief consultation between us, "we are going to give your kids some Christmas." The woman beamed at him gratefully.
Beside them stood Dale and Roy, and beyond was a group of horses and riders. "Uncle, here comes Nell," said Bo, softly. "Aw!" The old cattle-man breathed hard as he turned. Helen hurried. She had not expected to remember this uncle, but one look into the brown, beaming face, with the blue eyes flashing, yet sad, and she recognized him, at the same instant recalling her mother.
A suspicion that he was not a cattle-man but a rustler had slowly gained ground; it was scarcely hinted, but it was believed. His friendship with Dene had become offensive to the Mormons, who had formerly been on good footing with him. Dene's killing of Martin Cole was believed to have been at Holderness's instigation. Cole had threatened Holderness.
There the noise was increasing every minute, for the cattle-dealer had discovered that his money-bag was gone, and red-head screamed out like a mad-man, that nobody must get away, and everybody must be searched. When they found that Dietrich had gone, the cattle-man started off after him, and some others too, and then they all broke up. Now you know all that I know.
Sam was plainly in war-like frame of mind, and slammed his sombrero on its nail with the action of a man beating an adversary. "That is Sam Gregg and his son Joe used to be ranch cattle-man, now one of our biggest sheepmen," Cavanagh explained. "He's bucking the cattle-men now."
Early she gathered that there was, somewhere in the world, a dashing young woman styled the 'Widow. Further, she had the quick eyes to see that Barbee blushed when an old cattle-man with a roguish eye cleared his throat and made aloud some remark about Mrs. Murray. Yes; Barbee the insolent, the swaggering, the worldly-wise and conceited Barbee, actually blushed.
By-the-way, what's that gold thing on your frock?" "It's a medal. Culver sent it to me." "Another?" "Yes, he won the intercollegiate championship again." Miss Chapin proudly extended the emblem on its ribbon. "I wish to goodness Covington had been here to take Humpy Joe's place," said the young cattle-man as he turned it over. "The boys are just brokenhearted over losing that phonograph."
He was sent out to do slavery for Greenhide Billy, a boundary-rider who plumed himself on having once been a cattle-man. After a week's experience of "White", Billy came in to the homestead disgusted. The pony was so lazy that he had to build a fire under him to get him to move, and so rough that it made a man's nose bleed to ride him more than a mile.
