Birds, decomposing more rapidly, left only feathered skeletons. After a little reconnoitering, Mrs. Tellamantez declared that it was time for lunch, and Ray took his hatchet and began to cut greasewood, which burns fiercely in its green state. The little boys dragged the bushes to the spot that Mrs. Tellamantez had chosen for her fire. Mexican women like to cook out of doors.
"Lordy gracious!" he chuckled. "If you was to get a leg over a bronc', and the bronc' should find it out Say, I've got a li'l' blue horse out on my place in the Antelopes that'd plumb give his ears to have you try it; he shore would. You take my advice, and don't you go huntin' a job night-ridin' in the greasewood hills. Don't you do it!"
For that reason, and for some others, I hate to see you bucking a dead wall out here in the greasewood hills." "It is you and your kind who are bucking the dead wall, Dick." "No, listen; I'm giving it to you straight, now. A few minutes ago you thought I was drunk possibly too far gone to serve your purpose.
Then she gathered her skirts, stepped from the garage, and began the process of effacing herself on the mountain side From clump to clump of the thickest bushes, crouching below the sage and greasewood, pausing to rest behind lilac and elder, without regard for her traveling suit or her beautifully shod feet, Marian fled from her location.
The broncos hain't been used much sence I commenced on the greasewood, and I don't quite like to have 'er go alone." "She hadn't ought to go alone," broke in Parker eagerly. "That pinto o' yourn's goin' to kick some o' ye into the middle o' next week, one o' these days. I was just thinkin' I'd foot it over to the store fer some bacon. Tell Idy to wait till I run up to the house an' get my gun."
With daddy I've been up against just such danger as this before. You never saw a prairie fire, Pratt?" "No, ma'am!" exclaimed Pratt. "I never did." "The grass and greasewood are just right for it now. Mack is correct," the girl went on. "This will be a hot corner." "And that mighty quick!" cried Mack. "But you don't propose to stay here?" gasped Pratt. "Not much!
At his feet the bare sand hills themselves lay like huge, rolling, wind-piled drifts of tawny snow glistening in the sunlight with a blinding glare. Beyond these were the gray and green of salt-bush, mesquite and greasewood, with the dun earth showing here and there in ragged patches.
The willow grove, where Dick went rabbit-hunting, was up the river and on its banks far away from the water nothing grew but cactus, greasewood and mesquite. As they neared it the monotony of the walk began to pall on Dick. He wanted to have some fun. He fell behind and took a magnifying glass from his pocket. It was one he used in his photographic work.
Bunches of greasewood and cactus plants were interspersed here and there in the grass. What surprised Madeline was the fact that, though she and Florence had seemed to be riding quite awhile, they had apparently not drawn any closer to the round-up. The slope of the valley was noticeable only after some miles had been traversed. Looking forward, Madeline imagined the valley only a few miles wide.
The car bulked black for a moment, dimmed, and merged into the fleeing cloud that presently seemed no more than a dust-devil whirling across the mesa. At the second signpost Casey slowed, his eyes dwelling speculatively upon the legend: "JUNIPER WELLS 3 M" The arrow pointed to the right where a narrow, little-used trail angled crookedly away through the greasewood.
