Had they not been dehorned, they would have torn each other to pieces. Pretty soon the fat steers took it up and began butting and horning each other. Clearly, the affair had to be stopped. We all stood by and watched admiringly while Fuchs rode into the corral with a pitchfork and prodded the bulls again and again, finally driving them apart.
HORNING, charge of, a summons to pay a debt, on pain of being pronounced a rebel, to the sound of a horn. HOWE, a hollow. HOULERYING AND POULERYING, hustling and pulling. HURLEY-HOUSE, a brokendown manor house. ILK, same; of that ilk, of the same name or place. ILKA, each, every. INTROMIT, meddle with. KEN, know. KITTLE, tickle, ticklish. KNOBBLER, a male deer in its second year.
Here was a kid with the black thought that he was never to be a man; was never to do a man's work, never to win in any manly contest. Worse yet, he had never seen his father or felt a mother's caress. He never had had a place called home. Do you blame him for horning in? "Well, it worked out better than I hoped. The next day Mrs. Lannarck began moving the furniture in one of the bedrooms.
"'I'm a Chief, says Billy Fish, quite quiet. 'I stay with you. My men can go. "The Bashkai fellows didn't wait for a second word but ran off, and Dan and Me and Billy Fish walked across to where the drums were drumming and the horns were horning, It was cold awful cold. I've got that cold in the back of my head now. There's a lump of it there." The punkah-coolies had gone to sleep.
Standing just behind him, Bud Jessup had sized up the situation a fraction of a second before Tex, and like a flash he bent forward and snatched the foreman's weapon from its holster. "Cut that out, Slim!" he shrilled, forestalling a sudden downward jerk of McCabe's right hand. "No horning in, now. Give it here."
In a terribly short space the stampede rushed up the bench and came on, a dense mass, horning and shouldering wildly. It was soon so close that the horses could be distinguished from the cattle. Then it gained on the buckboard to such an extent that the little girl could make out, through the smoke and dust that whirled before it, animals that she knew. But they were changed.
Geddie, one of the Missionaries there. Early next horning, Monday, he arrived in his boat, accompanied by Mr. Mathieson, a newly arrived Missionary from Nova Scotia; bringing also Captain Andersen in the small Mission schooner, the John Knox, and a large Mission boat called the Columbia, well manned with crews of able and willing Natives.
Scotty done showed one." The lumberman raised. "What are you horning in for?" demanded Pete. "I've got you beat. It's Dewing's hide I'm after." Dewing looked at his cards and stayed. Pete saw the raise and re-raised.
All day long the range cattle, about three hundred in number had searched the river bottom for the grass which the heavy snowfall of the night before had covered; searched eagerly, nervously all the while, bawling, ill-naturedly pushing and horning, blaming each other in a perfectly human way.
It was an old English ballad, quaint and rollicking: "I'll sail upon the Dog-star, I'll sail upon the Dog-star, And then pursue the morning And then pursue, and then pursue the morning. "I'll chase the moon, till it be noon, I'll chase the moon, till it be noon, But I'll make her leave her horning. "I'll climb the frosty mountain, I'll climb the frosty mountain, And there I'll coin the weather.
