Although the girl on the pinto could not have been far from sixteen, her face seemed to express a serious mind. The scream of that bane of the cattlemen the mountain lion rang out from the coulie again. The girl clapped her tiny spurs against the pinto's flanks, and that little animal doubled her pace.
I am not sure that I have ever heard one; but one night, while camped in a heavily timbered coulie near Kildeer Mountains, where, as their footprints showed, the beasts were plentiful, I twice heard a loud, wailing scream ringing through the impenetrable gloom which shrouded the hills around us. My companion, an old plainsman, said that this was the cry of the cougar prowling for its prey.
"This is Pratt Sanderson, from Amarillo," the daughter of the ranchman said first of all. "He's a friend of Mrs. Bill Edwards. He was having trouble with a lion over in Brother's Coulie, when I came along. We got the lion; but Pratt got some scratches. Can't Ming find him a flannel shirt, Dad?" "Of course," agreed Captain Rugley, his eyes twinkling just as Frances' had a little while before.
Finally, she murmured: "That's the snarl of a lion sure. Get up, Molly!" The pinto sprang forward. There was a deep coulie ahead, with a low range of grass-covered hills beyond. Through those hills the lions often came down onto the grazing plains. It was behind these hills that the sun was going down, for the hour was early.
The foxes did not run so well, and whether they were the little swift, or the big red prairie fox, they were speedily snapped up if the dogs had a fair showing. Once our dogs roused a blacktail buck close up out of the brush coulie where the ground was moderately smooth, and after a headlong chase of a mile they ran into him, threw him, and killed him before he could rise.
