Three boys, aged nine, eleven and thirteen years, who had recently seen depicted the adventures of frontier life including the holding up of a stage coach and the lassoing of the driver, spent weeks planning to lasso, murder, and rob a neighborhood milkman, who started on his route at four o'clock in the morning.
Among these we met several of the Nevada's officers, riding in the stiff, wooden style which Anglo-Saxons love, and a horde of jolly British sailors from H.M.S. Scout, rushing helter skelter, colliding with everybody, bestriding their horses as they would a topsail-yard, hanging on to manes and lassoing horns, and enjoying themselves thoroughly.
This the devil prevented by resuming his own shape, but kept the unfortunate vaquero to the fulfilment of his rash vow; and Concepcion still scoured the coast on a phantom steed, beguiling the monotony of his eternal pursuit by lassoing travellers, dragging them at the heels of his unbroken mustang until they were eventually picked up, half-strangled, by the roadside.
O my friend, I assure you there are many famous sports with not half the fun in them that there is in lassoing an iceberg! Once more I turn to my note-books. I find that the morning had been foggy; that we could see scarcely a ship's length ahead of us; that the water was like oil beneath and the mists like snow above and about, while we groped blindly.

He could not throw the lasso as well as many another, but he could ride as well as any man that ever rode; and the broncho given him to ride that day was one sufficiently unreliable in character and sure-footed in travel to test him to the utmost. He had endured the test; he had even got his little gray mare, lassoing her like a veteran.
Bones spent an exciting seven days chasing, lassoing and, at tunes in self-defence, shooting at great reptiles without getting any nearer to the object of his search. "Ahmet," said he, in despair, "it seems that there are no green crocodiles on this river." "Lord, there are very few," admitted the man; "for the people kill green crocodiles owing to their evil influence."
Do you floor every man you see annoying a woman in the streets?" "Well er " "Just so. Winifred interested you. She interests me. I mean to keep an eye on her, a friendly eye. If you and she come together again, let me know." "Really " "No wonder you are ready with a punch. You won't let a man speak. Listen, now. You've read of the Yacht Mystery and the lassoing of Ronald Tower?" "Mr. and Mrs.
Western doings, riding, shooting, lassoing, all sorts of bareback, daredevil stunts " "I know I know. Yes, I'll be there to-morrow. You go, now, here comes my cousin." With a quick glance at Farnsworth, who was approaching, the man walked swiftly away. "Who is he?" Bill asked, as he came up to Azalea. "Friend of mine," she answered, gaily. "What's his name?" "That's telling!"
Such is the black wolf of the western wilds, attacking every thing he meets when hunger is on him; even the buffalo falls a prey to him. Their continued Captivity. Attempt to Escape. They are cautiously watched and guarded. Fears and apprehensions. They discover Gold in various quantities. A singular Cave. Preparations to escape into it. Lassoing the Chief. Enter the Cavern and close the Door.
