That Hazletine was among acquaintances was proved by the hails which he received from cowmen, most of whom were so distant that the wonder was how they recognized one another. The boys studied them through their spy-glasses, but, of course, all were strangers to them. When the afternoon was about half gone they came upon a stream that looked formidable.
It was decidedly warm the following Monday noon at Bonepile, and Wilson Jennings, his coat off, but wearing the fancy Mexican sombrero that the Bar-O cowmen had given him, sat in the open window to catch the breeze that blew through from the rear. From the window Wilson could not see the wagon-trail toward the hills to the west.
"The thing puzzles me," Wade went on, flecking his cigarette through the window. "Jensen would never dare to come in here on his own initiative. He knows that we cowmen have controlled this valley for years, and he's no fighter. There's lots of good grass on the other side of the mountains, and he knows that as well as we do.
They're taking a trip over the mountains and they want to know if they can join you in the fun this afternoon?" "Sure!" roared the cowboys. "We'll give the tenderfeet all the fun they want." Tad smiled appreciatively. "Don't let them disturb you," warned Tom. "They mean all right." "Yes, sir; I understand cowmen pretty well. Have spent quite a little time with them."
"Maybe," says she after a while "bankers, I suppose, merchants, wholesale people hides, leather, packing " "And not cowmen?" says I. "Certainly not!" says she. "To be the best people you must deal in something that somebody else has worked on you must handle a manufactured product of some kind. You mustn't be a producer of actual wealth." "Sho!
"I never had believed in harming sheep men. I see one, one day, reading a Latin grammar on hossback, and I never touched him! They never irritated me like they do most cowmen. You wouldn't go to work now, and impair and disfigure snoozers, would you, that eat on tables and wear little shoes and speak to you on subjects?
Oscar Stillwell who owns a cow ranch on the other side of the Rosebud, answers to that description, but he ain't the man for that kind of a raw job. Known him five years now." "Sure about him, are you?" "Positive. He don't approve of the hatred that the cowmen generally have for the sheep business.
After our return to the Frio, my first duty was writing, relative to the proposed match, an unfavorable reply to Don Alejandro Travino. On resuming work, we spent six weeks baling hides, thus occupying our time until the beginning of the branding season. A general round-up of the Nueces valley, commencing on the coast at Corpus Christi Bay, had been agreed upon among the cowmen of the country.
"I'm getting up an enthusiasm for the Service just from hearing Alec Belden rave against it," he said a few minutes later, as he looked up from his letter. Nash grinned. "How did you like Meeker?" "He's a good man, but he has his peculiarities. Belden is your real enemy. He is blue with malignity so are most of the cowmen I met up there. I wish I could do something for the Service.
All in all, the assembled company, as Brand Williams mildly put it, "were beginning to take notice of that copper-colored she-son of a cyclone." Jasper Lane plied spurs and quirt. The visiting cowmen shrilled their delight. The pony was broncho from the end of her long, switching tail to the tip of her pink muzzle.
