He took Pedro's saddle off, threw the mare's pack to the ground, put Balaam's saddle on her, and on that stowed or tied her original pack, which he could do, since it was so light. Then he went to Balaam, who was sitting up. "I reckon you can travel," said the Virginian. "And your hawss can. If you're comin' with me, you'll ride your mare. I'm goin' to trail them hawsses.
Sound as a dollar in lung and leg, highstepper my Land! jest look at the way he holds his head rides like a baby's cradle; why, that hawss is a perfect gentleman, Tom-Jeff." Since her return from Europe Miss Ardea Dabney had taken to horseback riding, a five-mile canter before breakfast in the fine brisk air of the autumn mornings; and Tom had discovered that he needed a saddle animal.
Lee, about to enter the house, stopped in her tracks. "Where?" demanded the cattleman jubilantly. "Down the river hid in a dugout they done built. I'll take you-all there." "I knew they couldn't be far away when that first hawss came in all blood-stained. Hustle up four or five of the boys, Dumont. Get 'em here on the jump." In the face of the big drover could be read a grim elation.
Her eyes were very bright. "I'd thought I'd just call," said he. "Why, that's such a pity! Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are away." "Yes; they've been right busy. That's why I thought I'd call. Will yu' come for a ride, ma'am?" "Dear me! "You can ride my hawss. He's gentle." "What! And you walk?" "No, ma'am. Nor the two of us ride him THIS time, either."
Now ther's Tom-Jeff, braggin' how he'll be the one to kill the pappy o' Nan's chillern: he's a-ridin' a mighty shore-footed hawss, but hit do look like he'd be skeered the Lord might take him at his word and make that hawss stumble. Hit do, for a fact!"
"There were four of them. I crept forward on top of that flat rock just as the last showed up. He was ridin' a hawss with four white stockings." "A roan, mebbe," Tom put in quickly. "You've said it, Tom a roan, and it looked to me like it was wounded. There was blood all over the left flank." "O' course Keller was riding it," Purdy ventured.
When you bring a horse back to where he has recently encountered a wild animal his ears and his nostrils are apt to be wide awake. The Virginian had stopped and was beckoning to me. "Here's your bear," said he, as I arrived. "Two-legged, you see. And he had a hawss of his own." There was a stake driven down where an animal had been picketed for the night.
He answers the description gray eyes, tall, slim, muscular. Same gun automatic Colt. Tell you there's nothin' to it, Duffield." "If you're not Kinney, how come you with this hawss? He stole it from a barn in Fort Lincoln last night. That's known," said the leader, Duffield. The imperilled man thought of the girl bing toward the border with her brother and the remembrance padlocked his tongue.
"'A just man falleth seven times and riseth up again!" he quoted softly. "And the wicked: well, they'll have a mighty lame hoss on their hands, I reckon." Mose began checking Elijah, several lengths in front of the wire. "Don't go bustin' a lung, hawss," said he. "Might need it again. You winnin' by a mile. A-a-a mile.
So, of course, Miss Beulah she sent the children home and rode down to the hawss ranch to get her father or one of her brothers. None of them were at home and she hit the trail alone to warn us." "I knew my people would be blamed for what this man did, so I blocked him," explained the girl with her habitual effect of hostile pride.
