HE would in sweaty anguish toil the days and nights away, And still not keep the prowling, growling, howling wolf at bay!
"Another inch an' more an' you'd sure have been all mussed up on that pile of barn litter," he went on, joining in her laugh.

"Died," Benito answered. "Going to my to the ranch." "Thought so," Ridley said. "I hear there's no one on it. Why not steal a march on that tin-horn gambler and scallawag. Rally up some friends and take possession.

"Come here, Sorrow," said I; "come and look me in the face."
"I've been watching you," retorted Yan, "and it seems to me I've run up against that copper-coloured scallawag 'Young-Man-Afraid-of-a-Shovel." "No, you don't," said Sam.
