I directed the Canoes to land, and I walked up through a crevis in the rocks almost inaxcessiable and killed 2 of those animals one a large doe and the other a yearlin Buck.
"Shore I missed thet yearlin' buck when he was standin'. Why didn't you smoke him up?" "Dad, why didn't you peg him?" asked Romer, with intense regret. "Why, I could have knocked him." Then it was incumbent upon me to confess that the action had appeared to be a little swift. "Wal," said Haught, "when you see one you want to pile off quick."
"What trick's he played?" Matthews evaded the question. "I seen one of the Clark outfit," he continued, "and tried t' git him t' bother old limpy. Says I, 'They's stealin' your slow-elk down there. Wasn't any use. 'Thunderation! says the cow-punch. 'You mean that bull? He was a yearlin' when he come to 'em. That's maverick age." Braden sneered. "Such a kid!" he murmured.
About the earliest event I remembers, goes on Enright, 'is concernin' a woman who changes her mind. It's years ago when I'm a yearlin'. Our company is makin' a round-up at a camp called Warwhoop Crossin', in Tennessee, organizin' to embark in the Mexican war a whole lot, an' thin out the Greasers. No one ever does know why I, personal, declar's myse'f in on this yere imbroglio.
To begin with, it's 'bout twenty years ago last March when thar war a vessel got a-foul o' a ledge jest off'n the pint here in a snow-storm, an' all hands went down; that is, all but a little yearlin' baby that cum ashore tied up 'tween two feather-beds. I fished her out o' the surf, an' Lissy an' me has taken care on her ever since, an' to-day she's worth a thousand times more'n she cost.
"Well," says I, "I've followed lion tracks where they've carried yearlin's across their backs like a fox does a goose. They're tur'ble strong." "But where did she come from?" he wonders. "As for that," says I, "don't you remember now that T 0 outfit had a yearlin' kid when it came into the country?" "That's right," says he. "It's only a mile down the canon. I'll take it home.
Toledo, yankin' the yearlin' off his hoofs and settin' him down again. For a fact, she thunk I was alludin' to her. "'Of course not, madam, says I, polite, and liftin' me lid. 'And I judge somebody's in luck at that. "I guess it was her not used to bein' spoke and acted polite to that got her goat. Mebby she smelt somethin' sarcastic. I dunno. Anyhow, she was a longhorn with a bad eye.
He comes out shore-'nough, but he's organized. He's got his gun in his hand; an' also he's packin' the Deef Woman's yearlin' in front of his breast an' face. "Jack gives him the word, but Pinon Bill only laughs. Then Jack makes a bluff with his gun like he's goin' to shoot Pinon Bill, the infant, an' all involved tharin. This yere last move rattles Pinon Bill, an' he ups an' slams loose at Jack.
"Don't you worry," she answered. "It ain't no pie of mine." The men continued to look at their "young un" in no small quandary of helplessness. "He's a pretty little cuss," said one of the miners, after a moment. "I wouldn't guess him for more than a yearlin'." Moody coughed nervously. "One of the first things to do for a child," he ventured, "is to git a thimble to rub on his teeth."
"Don't you worry none about the Black Rimmers," he said, "and don't you worry about me. I've got to ride high, wide and handsome now to make up the time and money I lost on account of the spotty yearlin', and maybe I won't be home so much. But I ain't quarreling with my neighbors, nor getting into any kind of ruckus whatever."
