At length the twins buried their faces in Tom Osby's overalls. "Look here, friend," said Tom Osby to Curly, with asperity, "if you don't want these here twins, why, I'll take 'em off your hands mighty damn quick. They're corral broke and right well gentled now, half good stock anyway, and is due to be right free steppers. If you don't want 'em, they're mine for the board bill."
He knew he could make it pay. Back in the hills, there, he's got a ranch of five hundred an' eighty acres, bought it dirt cheap, too; an' I want to tell you I could travel around in a different tourin' car every day in the week just outa the profits he makes on that ranch from the horses all the way from heavy draughts to fancy steppers.

He has taught his salesmen a college yell which runs like this: "Keep-the-qual-ity-up." Now it is: "A million a month," and by their methods they will soon be there.
The horse was like Colonel Colquhoun himself, showy; one of those high steppers that put their feet down where they lift them up almost, and get over no ground at all to speak of.
A clatter of hoofs rang out with the crack of the whip. They were away behind a pair of steppers that could go the pace.
