The evening was a gloomy one as compared to others, and although they built a camp-fire as usual there was none of the customary gaiety around it. Mr. Stott sat alone on his saddle-blanket lost in meditation of a sombre nature, and Pinkey and Miss Eyester whispered apart. Wallie was in no mood for conversation, while Mr.
The son of Hortense, Louis Napoleon, seemed to the government a means which the revolution might use for its purposes, and it was therefore determined that he should be removed. His name, and even the three-colored saddle-blanket of his horse, with which he rode through the streets of Rome, were exciting to the populace, in whose veins the fever of revolution was already throbbing.
Refreshed by the brandy, I mounted and rode off to supervise the encamping of my division, by no means an easy task considering the darkness, and the confusion that existed among the troops that had preceded us into Rossville. This done, I lay down at the foot of a tree, with my saddle for a pillow, and saddle-blanket for a cover.
As the seconds passed, all but insupportable in their tedious slowness, she stood rigid and tense, waiting. But soon she knew that the drug had had its will with him, that he was steeped in deep sleep, that no longer must she wait, that now at length she might act. Carrying her saddle-blanket she came to him and stood quietly looking down into his upturned face.
The saddle-blanket is made of thick felt cloth, and is attached to the pommel by a small strap passing through holes in the blanket, which is thus prevented from slipping, and at the same time it raises the saddle so as to admit a free circulation of air over the horse's spine. The Hungarian saddle is made of hard wood entirely uncovered, with a raised pommel and cantle.

His saddle-bag contained enough bread and meat for his own supper; he would camp for the night where he was, and with the first light of dawn make his way back through the wood whence he came. As the light slowly faded from the wood he rolled himself in his saddle-blanket and lay down. But not to sleep.
The horse drank greedily and nickered reproachfully when the man informed him that he must cool off before being allowed to drink his fill. For an hour the man sat on his saddle and smoked; then, after drawing several cans of water for the horse, he spread the saddle-blanket on the ground and poured thereon a feed of oats from a meager supply cached on the saddle.
He could not imagine why a person of Ed Austin's standing should behave in this extraordinary manner, unless perhaps he was drunk. "Well, I saw the calves, and I left the fellow that was branding them with a wet saddle-blanket over his face." "Eh? What's that?" Austin started, and Gonzalez uttered a smothered exclamation. "You killed him? He's dead?" "Dead enough to skin.
