"I'm too prosperous here," he had explained to Beebe and Ballinger, his partners on Rainbow. "I'm tedious to myself. Guess I'll take a pasear back to Prescott. Railroad? Who, me? Why, son, I like to travel when I go anywheres. Just starting and arriving don't delight me any. Besides, I don't know that strip along the border. I'll ride."
He had enough, and more than enough, to occupy all his time, and he soon ceased to sigh for his old home at San Gabriel, indeed, almost to think of it. It was only at rare intervals that he found time, after the day's work was done, to take a little pasear in the mission garden in front of the monastery.
She clothed him, taught him, and had him to sea again in better shape, welcomed him to her hearth on his return from every cruise, and when she died bequeathed him her possessions. "She was a good old girl," he would say. "I tell you, Mr. Dodd, it was a queer thing to see me and the old lady talking a pasear in the garden, and the old man scowling at us over the pickets.
"Now," says he, "I'm goin' to take one of those hosses and go somewheres else. Maybe you'd better do likewise on the other." "You bet I will," says I. He turned around and taked up the paper he was carryin'. It was a sign. "Nice sentiment," says I. "It will be appreciated when the crowd comes back from that little pasear into Buck Canon. But why not tack her up where the trail hits the camp?
The light of a candle showed through the parchment-paper window, and smoke curled from the chimney. Shorty threw open the door. "Come on in, Smoke," he greeted. "Breakfast's ready. Who-all are your friends?" Smoke turned about on the threshold. "Well, good-night, you fellows. Hope you enjoyed your pasear!" "Hold on a moment, Smoke," Bill Saltman cried, his voice keen with disappointment.
Afterward they washed and tied up the wounds, bathed the fevered face, and kept the mosquitoes from him by fanning them away. "Expect I'd better take a pasear an' see where Mr. Ute's at," Dud said. "He's liable to drap in onexpected while we're not lookin' several of him, huntin' for souvenirs in the scalp line for to decorate his belt with."
"They couldn't hit us from the Steelman location. Too far," said Bob. "And I don't reckon any one would try to do that." "No, but they might get to wondering what we're doing up here." "I'm wonderin' that myself," drawled Hart. "Most generally when I take a pasear it's on the back of a bronc.
I suppose he's been down here on a little pasear, as they say." "If you think he'll annoy you ?" I made bold to suggest, for I greatly coveted the half of her seat. "Oh, I'm not afraid of Jim. But yes, do sit down. You can put these things back in your seat. Then we can talk." I had no more than settled triumphantly, when the brakeman ambled through, his face in a broad grin.
I've a notion to go along." "Oh, just out for a little pasear," Steve answered casually. "Thought you were going to work on your south fence to-day." "Well, I reckon I better. It sure needs fixing. You lads take good care of yourselves. I don't need to tell you not to pass anywhere near the run, Sig," he grinned, with the manner of one giving a superfluous warning.
Hollow circles were around their orbits; haggard lines were in his checks. But it was Ruth. He took the glass, and drained it at a single draught.
