As he traveled east Clay began to slough the outward marks of his calling. He gave his spurs to Johnnie before he left the ranch. At Tucson he shed his chaps and left them in care of a friend at the Longhorn Corral. The six-gun with which he had shot rattlesnakes he packed into his suitcase at El Paso.
I never could get over it, until he told mother that you were the best machinist he ever knew, and would some time grow to be a great inventor." "I'm glad you hated him. I suffered rattlesnakes and collapsed flues for fear you'd go and love him." "My affections were engaged," she said, with simple seriousness. "Oh, if I'd only thought so long ago! How lovely you are!" exclaims Bill, in an ecstasy.
"Much obliged," John said, "but I can't take your offer." "Why didn't you tell us you could rope a steer and handle a cow pony?" inquired Jack, "You never asked me," was John's reply. "You see I have some Indian traits in me, even if I am only a half-breed." "Well, you certainly can throw a rope," Jack admitted. "Wish I could do half as well." "Rollicking rattlesnakes!
"In the early part of the evening a Hydrophoby is liable to do a lot of prowlin' round outdoors; but toward mornin' they like to get into camps they dig up under the side walls or come up through the floor and they seem to prefer to get in bed with you. They're cold-blooded, I reckin, same as rattlesnakes. Cool nights always do drive 'em in, seems like."
They are very jealous of the settlers in the country coming to hunt and fish here, and tell many stories of wild beasts and rattlesnakes that abound along its shores, but I, who have frequented the lake for years, was never disturbed by anything, beyond the adventure with the wolf, which I have already told you.
Be quick, Thad, Allan, and the rest of you!" "But what's biting him, do you think?" said Step-hen, looking serious again. "Can it be rattlesnakes, Thad, or bumble-bees?" "Hardly," replied the other, readily; "I'd expect rather that it was ants. What do you say, Allan?" "No doubt of it," came from the boy who had practical experience in the ways of the woods.
And since it was Elmer who would have to conduct the expedition safely to its destination and establish a relief camp, the colored boy had been thoroughly coached in his coming task. "Kin I?" the boy had said more than once. "When de Cibola gits dar I'll be dar. And ain't no Indians nor rattlesnakes nor hot weather goin' to break up dat camp."
An obscure little newspaper in a desolate homestead country: but, given courage enough, that little printing outfit would be a tool, a voice for the people's needs. It was a gigantic task, this taming of the frontier. And meantime, getting down to reality, I had a newspaper without a country, without a living thing but prairie dogs and rattlesnakes to read it.
"Where have you worked?" "At home, ma'am in the big timber o' Mendocino County haulin' tanbark and ties and shakes and posts over the mountains to the lumber steamers on the coast." "Do you love horses and mules?" she queried eagerly. "I love everything that breathes, I reckon, ma'am," he told her softly. "I kill nothin' that lives, except rattlesnakes, unless I need the meat.
There were many other clans and tribes of ancient gods with whom these supreme gods had dealings, of which hereafter; and, finally, each of these ancient gods became the progenitor of a new tribe, so that we have a tribe of bears, a tribe of eagles, a tribe of rattlesnakes, a tribe of spiders, and many other tribes, as we have tribes of Utes, tribes of Sioux, tribes of Navajos; and in that philosophy tribes of animals are considered to be coördinate with tribes of men.
