Pan removed his ragged chaps, more however to be freer of movement than because they were disreputable. "Now, Blink, we'll know pronto if the town is friendly to us," he said seriously. "Huh! I ain't carin' a whoop, but I'll gamble we could own the town. This fake minin', ranchin', hoss-dealin' Hardman was a hunk of bad cheese. Pard, are you goin' to deny you killed him?
In Ike's tone Shock read contempt, admiration, pity. "A rancher?" he enquired. "Well, he's got a ranch, and horses and cattle on it, like the rest of 'em. But ranchin' " Ike's silence was more than sufficient. "Well," said Shock, with admiring emphasis, "he seems to be able to ride, anyway." "Ride! I should surmise! Ride!
Mark scowled in surly unbelief, or surly simulation. "There's not a judge, federal or state, that could carry a bale of hay anywhere in the cattle country, I tell you, Mark, that we don't draw the chalk line for."

It seems that a queer kind of game has locoed my cowboys, an' for the time bein' ranchin' is at a standstill. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but cowboys are as strange as wild cattle. All I'm sure of is that the conceit has got to be taken out of Monty an' Link.
His face saddened for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "I got tired of ranchin', sold out; but why I come here I've no idee, 'cept it might o' been to stop that thar hoss." "It was a good idea, anyway, and we are all glad you came," said Rose.

But 'scuse me, have you ever farmed it much?" "Well, sir," said Buford, slowly, "I used to plant corn and cotton, back in Kentucky, befo' the war." "And you come from Kentucky out here?"
