"I guess you know just what it means to be competing in the Mountain City rodeo!" The stranger nodded. "Then you'll hear from me." He turned his panting car away from the plunging horses and was a receding dot up the trail to the Pass before Judith and Douglas found their tongues. "Well, you deserve it, Judith," cried Douglas. "You beat anything I've seen.
In pursuance of the plan four well-mounted men were sent from our ranch with Wilson's wagon to the coast, our segundo following a week later with the wagon, remuda and twelve men, to meet the rodeo at San Patricio as they worked up the river.
Before the sun dipped into the Costejo peaks the Ramblin' Kid left the Rodeo and returned alone to the Quarter Circle KT. He told Parker and the cowboys, all of whom intended to remain in Eagle Butte every night during the Rodeo, that he would be back in town the next afternoon and bring with him the Gold Dust maverick.
At one o'clock the Grand Parade would circle the mile track at the "Grounds" a hundred level acres enclosed by a high board fence lying at the west edge of Eagle Butte, between the Cimarron River and the road that led out to the Vermejo swing down the main street of the town, return again to the enclosed area, flow once more past the grandstand, salute the judges of the coming events, and the Fifth Annual Independence Rodeo of Eagle Butte would be officially opened.

He got away from us, with his mother, in the cedars and brush over near the head of Mint Wash. That's one of the things that you have to learn in this business, you see. But, to be sure we're right, you watch him a minute, and you'll see him go to a Five-Bar cow.
This company of riders, each with from three to five saddle horses in his string, would assemble at one of the ranches participating in the rodeo.
He took him in his arms to comfort him, and bedded him down on the pillow. But when he stepped outside he found that his world too was vacant the house deserted, the corrals empty, the rodéo camp a smouldering fireplace, surrounded by a wilderness of tin cans.
