And though the doctor frowned majestically and strode by the gabbling hussy without a word, it gave him an uncomfortable start to hear her words. What had happened that Fanny Forrest should be writing now to Roswell Holmes? This was something to be looked into. It was nearly two days before authentic news came in from the Niobrara, where Hatton's little command had been "corralled."
Having reached a point within a hundred yards of the camp-fires, Seldon leaned over a rock and began to survey the scene. The three fires were burning brightly, and beyond the light fell upon a number of horses corralled in the cañon, where there was grass and water. There were brush shelters near, three in number, and about the fires in front of them were gathered a number of men.
Meanwhile, his pursuers, not daring to approach the stockade, drew off towards their comrades with gestures of disappointment and chagrin. I began to reflect upon the real danger of our situation corralled upon a naked prairie, ten miles from camp, with no prospect of escape.
This was the remark of a friend whom I met in the streets of Stockton the morning after my adventure. I knew what the expression meant as applied to cattle, but I had never heard it before in reference to a human being. Yes, I had been corralled; and this is how it happened: It was in the old days, before there were any railroads in California.
I hope Pete got back safe to his wife and children in Iowa; and I hope I may never be corralled again. The Reblooming. It is now more than twenty years since the morning a slender youth of handsome face and modest mien came into my office on the corner of Montgomery and Clay streets, San Francisco.
The Brown's Park man bought a plug of chewing tobacco and a shirt. "Guess the soldiers got the Utes corralled all right by this time. Hear anything new about that?" Platt asked by way of making conversation. "No," Houck replied shortly. "Got an empty gunnysack I could have?" "Sure." The storekeeper found one and a string with which to tie it.
And you might not be, you know, Larry, if you fight," she said, looking shyly up at him from under the long lashes. The O'Keefe's jaw dropped. "That's about the hardest yet," he answered slowly. "Still I see their point; the lamb corralled for the altar has no right to stray out among the lions," he added grimly. "Don't worry, sweet," he told her.
No extra horses had been corralled the night before, of that he was sure. Yet the boys were gone again, and with them had gone Tom and Al. He looked and saw Coaley in the box stall. On this morning Lance asked no questions of Sam Pretty Cow or Shorty, who presently appeared and went listlessly about their tasks.
There was a grain of hope, however, in the significance with which he touched the bags of salt and said, "Shore it was sense packin' all that salt!" Then he turned to face his comrades. "That's little grub for six starvin' people corralled in the desert. But the grub end ain't worryin' me. Yaqui can get sheep up the slopes. Water! That's the beginnin' and middle an' end of our case."
We had been out about two weeks when we struck the Arkansas "bend," about six miles below the Plum Buttes. Here our waggons corralled and camped. So far we had seen but little of the buffalo; only a stray bull, or, at most, two or three together, and these shy. It was now the running season, but none of the great droves, love-maddened, had crossed us.
