After a time the women joined them, and Grant presently found himself absorbed in conversation with the old rancher's wife. Zen seemed to pay but little attention to him, and for the first time he began to realize what consummate actresses women are.
His friend's reluctance and refusal to state for what particular deed this reward was offered roused Duane's curiosity. He had never been any closer to Shirley than this rancher's home. Doubtless some post-office burglary, some gun-shooting scrape had been attributed to him. And he had been accused of worse deeds.
An' when you bluff, bluff hard, an' back it, or you'll drop your wad sudden. Guess I'll turn in." Joe moved off and Tresler followed. At the door of the bunkhouse they parted, for Joe slept in a lean-to against the kitchen of the rancher's house. They had said "good-night," and Joe was moving away when he suddenly changed his mind and came back again.
"Never mind the reading," said Diane impulsively. "Tell me the contents." "Well, I confess it's better so. The legal terms are confusing," said the officer emphatically. "You can read them later. I don't guess the government could have acted better by you than they've done. The property," he was careful to avoid the rancher's name "the property is to remain yours, with this proviso.
"You mean when Jas Stuart caught you rustlin' an' you murdered him an' went to the pen. That what you mean?" he demanded loudly. Tolliver caught his sleeve. "S-sh! She don't know a thing about it. You recollect I told you that." The other nodded, hard eyes gloating over the rancher's distress.

John Allandale's face and figure were redolent of the free life of the prairie.
"We are talking now; stay where you are, and let me hear what you have to say." "We go over we talk better dere." It was plain that the Sioux was not satisfied with the action of the rancher's wife. She and her child were beyond sight, and it looked as if the parley of her husband was meant to give her a chance to get beyond reach.
Maynard at Newport, or to any of her society friends, until Anne reminded her of a duty to her parents. Tuesday following their first Sunday at Pebbly Pit, a rancher's wife called just before noon, to deliver invitations. "Ah heer'd tell how you-all had comp'ny this summer?" were the words with which she greeted Mrs. Brewster. "Yes, a few young people. Will you be seated, Mrs. Halsey?" said Mrs.
For Lablache, in his sweeping process, had still been forced to hand over some money, over and above his due, as a result of the sale of the young rancher's property. The trifling amount, however, was less than enough to keep body and soul together for six months. Lablache, too, staunch to his opinions, did not trouble himself in the least.
Buy some stock, or buy an interest in some rancher's herd. What I want you to steer me on is a good square rancher. Or maybe a couple of ranchers, if there happen to be two honest ones. Ha, ha! No deals with ranchers who ride in the dark with rustlers! I've a hunch Fairdale is full of them. Now, Laramie, you've been here for years. Sure you must know a couple of men above suspicion."
