From the other riders they borrowed a few dollars and gave in exchange orders on their pay checks. Within an hour they were on the road. Fresh horses had been roped from the remuda and were carrying them at an even Spanish jog-trot through the night. The stars came out, clear and steady above a ghostly world at sleep.
While Cooper and Collins waited for their hats and coats, Fanwell darted into the telephone booth and called up Police Headquarters. "I've got him roped," he said. "If Britz calls up tell him he's on the way to Julia Strong's apartment." The bracing night air did not dispel Collins's melancholy. He walked with head bent, a woe-begone expression engraved on his face.
Even flowers and plants and roped vines were brought from afar not, however, until the stock of the local florists proved insufficient to obliterate the interior structure of the big house, in the Amberson way.
The Head and the Little Boy made the circuit of the lake, and had to be roped across the rushing river which is its outlet. And the horses rested for the real hardship of the trip, which was about to commence. One thing should be a part of the equipment of every one who intends to camp in the mountains near the snow-fields. This is a mosquito-tent.
She was at Pekin in the Boxer Rebellion! She's roped steers in Oklahoma! She's matched her embroidery silks to all the sunrise tints on the Himalayas! Just why in creation should she seem meek do you suppose to a to a twenty-five-dollar-a-week clerk like yourself?" "'A twenty-five-dollar-a-week clerk like myself?" the Younger Man fairly gasped.
And he pays for it with money they get from selling stolen cattle and horses! Nobody would suspect him, Frank, and try to follow. I hope our horses don't give us away now. I'd like to see what that little fellow does." The boy indeed looked weary as he drew closer, leading his tired burro, upon which a fair-sized load was strapped and roped. "Get down, Bob," said Frank.
They came to the upper glacier and spread out once more, roped in couples. They were now well within the great amphitheater. On their left the cliffs of the Charmoz overlapped them, on the right the rocks of the Blaitière. For an hour they advanced, cutting steps since the glacier was steep, and then from the center of the glacier a cry rang out.
Here, also, was a band in a gaily decorated orchestra; a circular area roped off for dancers; a mysterious tent with a fortune-teller inside; a lottery-stall resplendent with vases and knick-knacks, which nobody was ever known to win; in short, all kinds of attractions, stale enough, no doubt, to my companions, but sufficiently novel and amusing to me.
The traveller, arriving after long hours of journey through the battlefields, might sigh with relief, gape with pleasure, then hurry away down deflagged streets, beneath houses roped with green-leafed garlands, to eat divinely at Moitrier's restaurant, and join the dancing in the hall below. Not a night passed in Metz without the beat of music upon the frosty air.
A reception followed, and delicious buffet refreshments were served by the seniors in one corner of the big gymnasium, which had been roped off with the senior colors and made as attractive as senior hands could make it. Mrs. Gray was in her element and held court like a veritable queen. Before the evening was over the senior class, to a member, had vowed eternal allegiance to her. Dr.
