Flood will have to attend to matters at Rosebud on the 1st, and then hurry on west and be present at Paul's delivery at Fort Washakie. So you see I'll have to depend on two of you boys going up to Glendive and Miles and seeing that those cow-towns take the proper view of this quarantine matter.
"He's away up at Washakie, and of course his adjutant general don't want to act or even advise until he knows all about it. You've seen fit to charge Lanier with all manner of things, and I don't wonder headquarters are staggered." "But Bill Riggs to come and overhaul my regiment, when it's notorious he never could command even a two-company camp without having everybody by the ears!
And sometimes at night she would stand in front of her lover's likeness, gazing upon it with both love and shrinking. It was two rings that the Virginian wrote for when next I heard from him. After my dark sight of what the Cattle Land could be, I soon had journeyed home by way of Washakie and Rawlins. Steve and Shorty did not leave my memory, nor will they ever, I suppose.
But his appetite was good, and he remarked to himself that inside the first hour he was in Boston he would have steamed Duxbury clams. Of Sabina he never thought again, and it is likely that she found others to take his place. Fort Washakie was one hundred and fifty miles from the railway, and men there were many and girls were few.
And his manner took on that alertness a horse shows on turning into the home road. As the stage took him toward Washakie, old friends turned up every fifty miles or so, shambling out of a cabin or a stable, and saying, in casual tones, "Hello, Lin, where've you been at?" At Lander, there got into the stage another old acquaintance, the Bishop of Wyoming.
"Going to stop long at Washakie?" asked one. "Alma is not waiter-girl at the hotel now," another mentioned. "If there's a new girl," said a third, "kiss her one for me, and tell her I'm handsomer than you." "I ain't a deceiver of women," said Lin. "That's why you'll tell her," replied his friend. "Say, Lin, why are you quittin' us so sudden, anyway?" asked the cook, grieved to lose him.
There was about her a white flame of anger that seemed to lick up the red blood in her veins as she turned to answer: "She is undeniably handsome, Peter, but I do not care to meet your mistress." He bowed low to her as Lieutenant Swift, of Fort Washakie, who was of the Wetmore party, came to claim Kitty’s hand for the next dance.
Chief Washakie went to sleep, and so did a corporal; but Lin McLean sat in the same alert position till Miss Stone pulled him and asked if he intended to sit down through the hymn. Then church was out. Officers, Indians, and all the people dispersed through the great sunshine to their dwellings, and the cow-puncher rode beside Sabina in silence. "What are you studying over, Mr.
As their herds were intended for the Crow and Fort Washakie agencies, they would naturally follow up the south side of the North Platte, and an hour or two of grazing would put them in camp. The Buford cattle, as well as Flood's herd, were due to cross this North Fork of the mother Platte within ten miles of Ogalalla, their respective routes thenceforth being north and northeast.
She only knew he had gone into lonely regions upon his errand. That errand took him far: Across the Basin, among the secret places of Owl Creek, past the Washakie Needles, over the Divide to Gros Ventre, and so through a final barrier of peaks into the borders of East Idaho. There, by reason of his bidding me, I met him, and came to share in a part of his errand.
