He was terrible.... It made me sick.... Daddy, tell me Van wasn't hurt or the King!" "The hoss's all right an' so's Van," replied Bostil. "Don't cry, Lucy. It was a fool trick you pulled off, but you did it great. By Gad! you sure was ridin' thet red devil.... An' say, it's all right with me!" Lucy did not faint then, but she came near it.
"Ride back like a streak o' lightnin', and tell Leftenant Lyon that the gorrillas is cleanin' out a house over yender!" said Life in hurried speech. "How fur back is the platoon?" "Not more than half a mile," said Fronklyn. "Go it, and don't let the grass grow under your hoss's irons!" The other scout went off at the fastest gallop of his steed, and soon disappeared beyond a turn in the road.
The guns of the nervous boys were up instantly, but Si restrained them with a motion of his hand. "What's the matter with him?" he asked Shorty, indicating the rebel. "Him and his hors's wore out and asleep," answered Shorty, after a minute's study. "Look at his head and his hoss's." "Kin we sneak up on him and git him?" asked Si. "Scarcely," answered Shorty. "Look over there."
"Well, the first thing I did was to keep the hoss's head tied high in the daytime, because no hoss will crib unless he can get his head down. Then at night I put on a cribbin' strap and buckled it tight around his neck. He could get his head down all right, but he couldn't suck any air. With that habit corrected, Eliphaz was a great hoss.
"He was haltered in the corral." "Send Yaqui to find the hoss's trail, an' let's figger," said Ladd. "Shore this 's no raider job." In the swift search that ensued Gale did not have anything to say; but his mind was forming a conclusion.
How old is that buckskin?" "Just coming four." "Did somebody tell you that, or did you learn it from your own observation?" questioned Tad Butler sweetly. "I reckon I know a hoss's age when I look at his mouth," answered the man, but not quite with the same assurance that he had made his first statements.
He's too spirited a horse for a woman. Take him. He's yours." "I jest am weak where a hoss's concerned," said Lassiter. "I'll take him, an' I'll take your orders, ma'am." "Well, I'm glad, but never mind the ma'am. Let it still be Jane."
"It'll cure ANYTHING," says the doctor. Hank he says, "Shucks," agin, but he took the bottle and pulled the cork out and smelt it, right thoughtful. And what them fellers had stopped at our place fur was to have the shoe of the nigh hoss's off hind foot nailed on, which it was most ready to drop off. Hank, he done it fur a regulation, dollar-size bottle and they druv on into the village.
"Sh! so do I," echoed Gid Mackall. They all listened with painful eagerness. "Hoss's hoofs and breakin' limbs, sure's you're a foot high," whispered Harry. "And they're comin' down the hill this way." "That's right. They're a'most to the crick now," assented Gid. "I'm going to shoot." "No; I've got the right to a first shot," said Jim. "You fellers hold off."
His foretop was long, and he wore it over one ear like a hoss's when the wind is blowin'. "He commenced wrong, I guess. He points down the room to where me and Toledo was settin', and he hollers, 'Go to the ant, you slugger! Consider her game and get hep to it, or somethin' similar. "That word 'slugger' kind of jarred Toledo. He jumps up kind of mad.
