Saxton; he is fine and capable, and really generous; only He may be just a bit snippish at times, while you you're a playmate father's and mine and I did face that landlady, didn't I! I'm not soft and trivial, am I! Praise!" She had driven through the panhandle of Idaho into Washington, through Spokane, through the writhing lava deposits of Moses Coulee where fruit trees grow on volcanic ash.
There was nothing Frances of the ranges did not know about the cattle-raising business. And she was giving some attention to the new grain-raising ideas that had come into the Panhandle with the return of the first-beaten farming horde. For the Texas Panhandle has had its two farming booms. The first advance of the farmers into the ranges twenty-five years or more before had been a rank failure.
The man from the Panhandle looked across the desert that palpitated with heat, and saw through the marvelous atmosphere the smoke of the ore-mills curling upward. He was no tenderfoot, to suppose that ten minutes' brisk walking would take him to them. He guessed the distance at about two and a half hour's travel. "This is ce'tainly a hot evening.
He had seen the rise of a new period, the successive stages of which, singularly enough, tally exactly with the progress of our own world-civilization: first the nomad and hunter, then the herder, next and last the husband-man. He had passed the mid-mark of his life. His mustache was gray. He had four friends his horse, his pistol, a teamster in the Indian Territory Panhandle named Skinny, and me.
As far as he could see in one direction, the grotesque forms stretched in isolated chains or single groups; but in the other, the end was reached, and beyond lay the unbroken waste of the Panhandle.

"We've got aboot fifty broomies out heah in a canyon. We'll drive 'em in today, an' also some saddle hosses for you." "I'll buy a horse," interposed Pan. "You'll do nothin' of the sort," declared Blinky stoutly. "Ain't we got a string of hosses, an' there shore might be one of them good enough even for Panhandle Smith. But you want a saddle. There's one in Black's store.
"We must raise feed for our steers, fatten them in fenced pastures, and ship them more quickly." "My goodness!" exclaimed Pratt, admiringly, "you talk as though you understood all about it, Miss Frances." "I think I do know something about the new conditions that face us ranchers of the Panhandle," the girl said, quietly.
"Wal, now, this here stage drivin' is gettin' to be mighty fine," he said, as he clambered up to the seat, and unwound the reins from the brake handle. "Lady, I reckon I seen you didn't like ridin' inside. Wal, you'll shore be all right ridin' between me an' my young friend Panhandle Smith." "I think I will," replied the girl, dimpling prettily. "My name is Emily Newman.
"Look ahere, Red," he began, "there ain't no rustlers with their headquarters on this God-forsaken sand heap, an' there never was. They have to have water an' lots of it, too, an' th' nearest of any account is th' Pecos, or some of them streams over in th' Panhandle. Th' Panhandle is th' best place. There are lots of streams an' lakes over there an' they're right in a good grass country.
