I ate a good deal of ashes with my roast beef and we all ate more or less sand, but fastidiousness about food is a good thing to get rid of when you come West to camp. When the regular supper-time arrived the punchers began to gather in, and the "boss," who had been to town about some business, came in and brought back the news of the man-hunt.
The man had dragged Lennon out past the windlass and turned back to grasp the crank handle. "You damn sure Cochise him no kill me? You no lie?" demanded Pete. "Won't you be proving you are his friend?" countered the girl. "You know Slade only half trusts you. He'll be sure to shoot you, soon as his punchers come. How about it? Do you promise?
"I'm afraid we can't take Smiler with us," said Big Jim, as Little Jim scurried about next morning, getting ready for the great adventure. Little Jim stopped as though he had run against a rope. He had not even dreamed but that Smiler would go with them. Now, Little Jim had not forgathered with punchers and townsfolk for nothing.
I find also," he went on in his somewhat precise voice that had earned him the nickname of "Deacon" among his punchers, "that there are more young stock vented and rebranded than I er sold your nephew. Fourteen head, to be exact. With the cattle you tell me which were mm-m disposed of last night, that would make twenty-one head of stock for which mm-mm I take it you are willing to pay."
Come on! they'll tumble to what's up an' get away if we don't hustle." When the two punchers cautiously and noiselessly entered the crack and felt their way along its rock walls they heard fluent swearing in Spanish by the man who worked the ghost, and who could not understand its sudden ambition to take root.
The instructions given to the punchers were to do nothing to irritate the Utes just now. The mental attitude of the Indians toward the cattlemen and cowboys was a curious one. They were suspicious of them. They resented their presence in the country. But they felt a very wholesome respect for them. These leather-chapped youths could outride and outshoot them.
"Well, if they were strange punchers, maybe they frightened our steers," suggested Baldy. "They might have," admitted Mr. Norton. "But I was thinking that perhaps they were rustlers, trying to ride off a bunch, and they became frightened when they saw us all on hand." "It might be," admitted Pete Batso. "I'll have a look around after we get the critters in the corral."
He gets Pinto up in one corner and takes him by the ear, and tries to break his neck, with his foot in the middle of his back. Then he goes around on the other side and does the same thing. He hammers him up one side and down the other, and works him and wiggles him till us cow punchers thought he was goin' to scatter him around worse than Cassybianca on the burnin' deck after the exploshun.
And paying seventy-five dollars to these imitation punchers to fight her gentle saddle horses, no colt, it seemed, having been ridden on the place in the memory of man. She didn't know; taking one thing with another, sometimes she almost wished that the world was going to stay unsafe for democracy.
I can't remember ever being more tired and sleepy, but I couldn't go to sleep. I could hear the boss giving orders in quick, decisive tones. I could hear the punchers discussing the raid, finally each of them telling exploits of his favorite heroes of outlawry. I could hear Herman, busy among his pots and pans.
