We used to see 'em on truck that was sent out from the ranch. They was marked in charcoal on the sacks of flour and in lead-pencil on the newspapers.
I came to ask for a job as a waitress." The proprietor stared at her. "Well," he said, "you are a new one on John Culver. I never got up against your game before." "I haven't any game," said Rose.
