"'That is ma intention, suh, he says. 'Ah expect to keep him in yoh hands. But, of co'se, suh, the hawss will race on his merits and without any sawt of stimulant. "I ain't stuck on the proposition.
"Glad to see you here, Miss Messiter," he said, his sinister gaze attempting to meet hers frankly "I been looking for you every day." "But y'u managed to surprise him, after all ma'am," chuckled Mac. "Where's yo' hawss, Reddy?" inquired a tall young man, who had appeared silently in the doorway of the bunkhouse. Reddy pinked violently. "I had an accident, Denver," he explained.
Ashton on Rocket!" breathlessly answered his daughter. "Sorry to contradict you, Miss Chuckie," said Gowan. "He put himself on." "He's on yet," dryly commented the cowman. "May be something to that boy, after all." "But, Daddy! "Now, just stop fussing yourself, honey. He and Rocket are going smooth as axlegrease and bee-lining for Stockchute. How did the hawss start off? skittish?"
That ther 'Windy Moran's' bin raisin' hell over in the hotel th' las' two days. He got to fightin' ag'in las' night with Larry Blake over that hawss. Bob Ingalls an' Chuck Reed an' th' bunch dragged 'em apart an' tol' Larry to beat it back to his ranch which he did. Windy they got him to bed, an' kep' him ther all night, as he swore he'd shoot Larry.
"Buck and a few o' the boys 'll stay by the gun, against their rallyin' later on, and you might as well go home to your breakfast. Didn't bring your hawss, did ye? Take the mare, and welcome. Buddy and me'll walk." But the Major would not mount, and so the two men walked together as far as the manor-house gates, with Thomas Jefferson a pace in the rear, leading the mare.
She had never been on a hawss, neither. And she mighty near rolled off down into Pitchstone Canyon, comin' up by the cut-off trail. Why, seh, I would not willingly take you through that place, except yu' promised me yu' would lead your hawss when I said to. But Hank takes the woman he had married, and he takes heavy-loaded pack-hawsses.
This is the hawss corral, ma'am," explained the young man just as Morgan opened his thin lips to tell her. Judd contrived to get rid of him promptly. "Slap on a saddle, Mac, and run up the remuda so Miss Messiter can see the hawsses for herself," he ordered. "Mebbe she'd rather ride down and look at the bunch," suggested the capable McWilliams.
"Ferguson nods to him 'n' rides off. "The English gink has heard the bet, 'n' when Ferguson beats it he shakes his head. "'Aw, old chap! he says. 'That's a bit raw don't you think? I'm sorry you let him draw you. It's a beastly mess. "'I'm not afraid of him and his horse! says Mr. Van. But I can see he ain't feelin' joyous. "'Damn him and his hawss and you too! says the English gink.
"Well," said the chef, "I'll raise you a dolla and a quahta. Say thutty- eight and seventy-five." "W-ell now, you're gittin' up among the figgas where you're liable to own a hawss. You just keep right on a raisin' me, while I sell these ladies some shoes, and maybe you'll hit it yit, 'fo'e night."
"That ol' hawss has got a head whut weighs a thousan' pounds!" murmured Mose sulkily. "'Spect he'll 'bout yank both arms outen me!" "You're pretty stout for a boy your size," said the old man, "an' you may be able to hold this big, hard-stridin' hoss together an' shake something out of him. Send him two miles, Mose, keep his head up if you can, an' ride him every jump of the way."
