He'll stay, though, all right. I don't want Mrs. Blake to think she has to stop indoors. With Kid on the lookout around your camp, the ladies can feel free to come and go any time between sunup and sundown, and you and Lafe can do what you want.

Yuh ought to have 'em across the Rio by sunup. Theah won't be any pursuit. Don Floristo isn't in any position to ordah it. I'll see yo'-all at Ma Thomas' dinnah table." "Where are you goin', Kid?" Lathum asked in astonishment. "Harry will help yo' get the cattle home," said The Kid. "I'm ridin' like all get-out to make Mistah Goliday, Esquiah, a social call." "But why " Wise began.

The sufferings of his loved daughter cut deeply into his big heart. "You been in the saddle since sunup," he said.
I'm amazingly glad to see you. How's everything? How is the range making out?" "Fine," Garth answered quickly. "You have come to stay? You will be running the outfit yourself now?"
