Get up a pony for me Spider Legs will do." Born of long-forgotten experience in waiting for women, Bill Bradley, as Kate walked away, put in a caveat: "I'm headin' out jus' soon's I c'n get breakfast." "I, too, Bill. I'll be across the divide before you are." Curiosity would not down: "What y' goin' t' town f'r?" he called. Turning half around, Kate, with a little shrug, paused.
But I'm glad we ran across your trail right now, Hank, because you can take a message to dad for me." "Glad to do that same, Frank," the veteran cowman replied, and then added: "but jest why are ye headin' this way, might I ask?
"Why, ye-e-es," says Tidman; "but what " "You're goin' to reward her for sittin' on Cousin Ralph so long," says I. "Give her one of the fives. You can slip the other to him as we shoo him through the back door. Now, let's go relieve Mrs. Flynn." From the rough way we collared Ralph and led him off, she must have thought we was headin' him straight for Sing Sing.
"Has any one come out from there?" "Yes, Billy Williams. He was a-comin' out when it went off. We found him up in the headin', senseless. He ain't come to yet." "And the others?"

And I sez, "The two wuz in partnership together, and they got the man to do the murder."
"Well, I don't suppose a dark night is any worse than a bright one, and I call to mind many a time I'd give something to see it a bit blacker. Do you know where you're at?" "She's headin' about the same, but if ye don't mind, I'll be gettin' her down gradual like to her torps'ls if the glass keeps a-fallin'. Short commons, says I, on the edge o' the monsoon."

He's drove many a load along yere hey, Matt?" "You bet; I've got it all marked out, the same as a pilot on the Missouri. Ye see that sway-back ridge yonder?" pointing with his whip into the distance ahead. "That's what I'm headin' for now an' when I git thar a round rock will show up down a sorter gully.
