"Prove it! Prove it!" demanded the accused man, furious with anger at Webb's manner. The ranch-owner went on talking to Wrayburn in an even voice. "I've suspected it for some time. Now I'm convinced. Yesterday mornin' I found him asleep in bed with his clothes on. His horse looked like it had been travelin' all night. I made inquiries.
He spoke of them as "the loot of old Don Milo Morales' hacienda"; but Frances knew well enough that her good father, Captain Dan Rugley, had been no land pirate, no so-called Border ruffian, who had robbed some peaceful Spanish ranch-owner across the Rio Grande of his possessions. Frances was a bit worried to-night. There were two topics of thought that disturbed her.
Then he swung his axe again, and Gordon, who saw Waynefleet approaching, strolled away towards the ranch-owner. It was a hot summer evening, and a drowsy, resinous fragrance stole out of the shadowy bush when Nasmyth, who had now spent six months at Waynefleet's ranch, lay among the wineberries by the river-side.
And you want to know about the people; so the Bonnie Lassie said, 'Ask the Dominie; he landed here from the ark. Didn't she?" Barbran sat down and smiled at me. "Having sought information," I pursued, "on my own account, I learn that you are the only daughter of a Western millionaire ranch-owner. How does it feel to revel in millions?" "Romantic," said she. "Of course you have designs upon us."
He knew how rough cowmen often were in their fun, and the only wonder was that they hadn't treated him worse. He supposed that they would have done so had his father not been a ranch-owner. So! they probably thought he was something of a molly-coddle. He was angry enough, but this thought made him angrier that he hadn't been treated worse. Which goes to show what a reasonable thing anger is!
I was much in need of a change, and when a friend, who was also a ranch-owner on the Currumpaw, asked me to come to New Mexico and try if I could do anything with this predatory pack, I accepted the invitation and, eager to make the acquaintance of its king, was as soon as possible among the mesas of that region.

By preparing Miss Thorne beforehand for the departure of the new hand, he could discharge Stratton and then represent to the girl that he had quit of his own accord. But somehow this didn't altogether fit. It assumed that Buck would take his dismissal quietly without attempting a personal appeal to the ranch-owner; also it took no account of Bud Jessup.
If she did not leave her money to Chris Gaverick, there was not, conceivably, anyone else to whom she would leave it. 'By the way, Molly continued, as if it had been an afterthought 'Old Eliza is immensely interested in you and your cow-boy husband ranch-owner is what, I suppose, I ought to call him.
What with the trainer's loud complaints, the excited words of his captors, and the confusion resulting when the bunk-house emptied itself of men half clad, it had taken the ranch-owner some time to discover that Glass had been surprised in the act of escaping. It seemed that the sentries, seeing a figure skulking past the white adobe walls of the house, had called upon it to halt.
