"`Thank 'ee kindly, mum, says I; `thank 'ee kindly, and may you never miss it! I hope your rents do still come in reg'lar, mum. "She laughed out loud, and said there was no fear of that; and then she called a lad, and he led off White-face and Strike-a-light and Jenny and the Cutler, and they was all gone, and the horse-dealer and Sophia, afore I had time to say good-night.
Alex walked over and examined the trail for a little while. "Made yesterday morning," he commented, "and traveling steadily. No telling where he is by this time, Mr. Rob. When an old white-face starts off he may go forty miles. Again, we might run across him or some other one in the first berry patch we come to. It seems to me surer to go on through with our sheep hunt.
"See my children, white man! Brave as the white-face mountain bear! Swift as flying duck! This only a few my men. Toward the setting sun I got so many more wait my call. "By the big lake I got 'nother great army. Let white men tak' care how they treat us bad. To-morrow red man's day come. He got Watusk lead him now. Watusk see through white man's bluff!"
"A few seasons more, with fair luck, and you won't see one of these rainbow droves with every color from brindle to strawberry roan; none of those humpbacked runts; they'll all be gone. That's almost the last mongrel herd that will ever wear your brand. They'll run better every year until we have all big flat-backed beef stock a straight white-face run."
I promised Uncle Dick I'd bring him some bearskins." "Black bear or grizzlies?" asked Alex, smiling. "Grizzly." "Well, I don't know about that," demurred Alex. "Of course I don't deny you may have killed a bear or so up in Alaska, but down here most of us are willing to let grizzlies alone when we see them." "This white-face bear, he'll be bad," Moise nodded vigorously.
Say, it's mighty fine, ain't it?" And as Aunt Hannah relinquished her hold on the pail, Seth started toward the house without waiting for a reply to his question. After placing the stool bottom up by the side of the broad stone which served as doorstep, the little woman called to Gladys: "It's time White-Face was taken to pasture, child." "Do you mean the cow?" Seth asked. "Yes, dear."
"Methinks I help you very patently. But my heart is sorry for so spiritless a fellow! And see ye here, John Matcham sith John Matcham is your name I, Richard Shelton, tide what betideth, come what may, will see you safe in Holywood. The saints so do to me again if I default you. Come, pick me up a good heart, Sir White-face. The way betters here; spur me the horse. Go faster! faster!
"I dare say you might, my child; there isn't much of a knack to it." "Would you be willin' to let me try?" "Of course you shall," and Aunt Hannah got up quickly from the stool. "Be gentle, and you'll have no trouble." Seth failed at first; but after a few trials he was able to extract a thin stream of the foaming fluid, although White-Face did not appear well pleased with his experiments.
Angling junipers stuck out from the walls in occasional dots of green. "That ole white-face sure looks hostile," Cheyenne remarked. "Git along, you ole Mormon; curl your tail and drift." Cheyenne heaved a stone which took the bull fairly between the eyes. The bull shook his head and snapped his tail, but did not move. The cattle behind the bull stared blandly at the invaders of their domain.
Then Gladys entered the kitchen, and the two children made preparations for breakfast, after Seth had brought to an end his self-imposed task of washing the floor. Mr. Dean came over to milk White-Face, and Seth insisted that he be allowed to try his hand at the work, claiming that if Aunt Hannah was to be a helpless invalid during a full month, as Mrs.
