Camp was not only close, but had not yet reached suppertime, Bud guessed from the well-known range signs. Two or three minutes proved him right. He came upon a man just driving the last tent peg. He straightened up and stared at Bud unblinkingly for a few seconds. "Howdy, howdy," he greeted him then with tentative friendliness, and went on with his work. "You lost?" he added carefully.
Give me my buckles, as I am going for a country walk, and I shall not be in till suppertime. I shall doubtless get an excellent appetite, and as you have nothing more to fear you need not trouble to send me Annette again."
Before dark that night Pan had most of his preparations made, so that next morning there would be nothing to do but eat, pack the horses, saddle up and ride. At suppertime Charley Brown and Mac New, alias Hurd, called at the camp. The latter was a little the worse for the bottle. Charley was sober, hard, gloomy. "Howdy, boys. Help yourself to chuck.

"So's his wife," added Vance with a chuckle.

I may be mayor some day; and when you're mayor you're due to chirk up and think of being president if you are a humorist.
