Now, if you get up on Spottie you'll excite him. He's high-strung, nervous. That'll be bad for him, as he hates cutting-out and roping." The reasonableness of this argument was lost upon Belllounds. "Moore, maybe it'd interest you to know that I'm foreman of White Slides," he asserted, not without loftiness. His speech manifestly decided something vital for the cowboy.
He used to come over once in a while, their hired man did, and meet me on the dock back of the boathouse, where I give him lessons in roping. I showed him a few things how to let go when he got his rope straight, and to give hisself plenty of double back of the hondoo. We used to rope the snubbing posts where we tied the boats.
Ben had declared himself as to the superlative excellence of his show this year. "It's going to be hard to beat," said he, in boasting about it. "We've had some pretty good shows, but nothing like the one I'm getting up now." Kit had charge of the cowboy end of it, the races, the bronchobusting, the roping and tying contests; in fact, all the arena acts.
"Sure thing," said Petey. "Sophomore roping class uses 'em. Great class to watch." "I say now, this is extraordinary," said the Reverend. "You don't mean to tell me you tie up cows?" "Rope 'em and tie 'em and brand 'em," said Petey. "What's college for if it ain't to learn you things?" "I say now, this is extraordinary," said the Reverend.
"Bring out your old dog." When I came back from roping and blindfolding the twisted dynamite I was engaged in "gentling," I found that Brower was saddling the mournful creature with my saddle. My expostulation found him very snappy and very arbitrary. His opium-irritated nerves were beginning to react. I realized that he was not far short of explosive obstinacy.
The party from Melton's ranch, with the exception of the three boys, lost no time in slaking the thirst occasioned by their ride over the prairie, and then they all repaired to the scene of the first event on the entertainment programme, which proved to be a roping and tying contest. Chip entered this and narrowly missed winning the prize.
Mary V studied his reply carefully, keeping silence until Johnny had loaded the other cases and was roping them to the travois frame. "Is that Bland Halliday with you yet?" she asked him suddenly. "Yeh er how do you know anything about Bl " Johnny was plainly swept off his guard. "Why, why shouldn't I know about BL?" Mary V's smile was exasperating.
The next instant, and with seeming naturalness, he found himself pursuing the wild bulls of the upland pastures, roping them and leading them down to the valleys. Again the sweat and dust of the branding pen stung his eyes and bit his nostrils. All his lusty, whole-bodied youth was his, until the sharp pangs of impending dissolution brought him back.
Merton was chiefly troubled at this moment by the thought that someone would have to double for him in the actual casting of the rope that would settle upon the detective's shoulders. Well, he must practise roping. Perhaps, by the next picture, he could do this stuff himself. It was exciting work, though sometimes tedious.
The snow lay deep on the Roseg, and roping was essential, though Pietro undertook to avoid any difficult crevasses. He led, Spencer followed, with Helen next, and Bartelommeo last. They reached the opposite moraine in half an hour, and began to climb steadily. The rock which looked so forbidding from the hut was by no means steep and not at all dangerous.
