Now, first the little man took a rope, and shaking out the loop dropped it carelessly against his horse's fore-feet and that looked well, for the sorrel stood stiffly in his tracks, as if he had been anchored.

I've got five myself on a couple hundred head that the old man left me and everybody else the same way.

"What did you say you was doin' over there?" he inquired slowly, and Hardy smiled quietly as he answered: "Riding for the Cherrycow outfit." "The hell you say!" exclaimed Creede explosively, and for a long time he stood silent, smoking as if in deep meditation.
