Like Atticus, I have two for seventy cows, one a yearling, the other two years old. When that constellation has risen which the Greeks call Lyra, and we Romans, Fides, I turn the bull into the herd again. The bull indicates whether a male or a female calf has been conceived by the side on which he leaves the cow: if male, on the right; if female, on the left.
Had Prescott been a cadet private the sentry would have questioned him as to his reasons for being out after taps. But with a cadet captain it was different. Though Prescott was not cadet officer of the day, he was privileged to have official reasons for being out without making an accounting to the sentry. Slowly the yearling sentry paced down to the further end of his post.
Just at that instant the yearling looked as though butter couldn't melt in his mouth. Turning a bit, Pratt caught sight of the tac., who stood looking on as though transformed with wonder. "Attention!" called Pratt at once. All the others wheeled, Dick rising in order to do so. Six young men who looked intensely earnest over study, faced the O.C. respectfully.
It was Yearling Devine who sprang to obey this direction. Now Dick spoke, ever so quietly. "Mr. Kramer, I understood that you did me the honor to call me out." "Eh?" muttered that other yearling. "Oh, yes; so I did. Whenever you're ready, mister!" "If Mr. Edwards and Mr. Jennison are willing," returned the plebe coolly, "I'm ready as soon as Mr. Spurlock has been carried away." "Oho, mister!
His bull "Prospero" gained the first prize at Perth in the two-year-old class, and at Battersea Park he won the first prize in the aged bull class. Mr Leslie of the Thorn is also a most successful breeder. He came out so strong at Stirling that he beat all and sundry for yearling bulls, and followed up his conquests by selling "President the Fourth" at an almost fabulous price.
Must I wait till I can make a leg," he paused to execute an exaggerated obeisance, graceful enough despite its mockery, "'Under your favor, Cap'n Bull, and 'With your ladyship's permission, before I kill the ravening brute, big enough to pull down a yearling? Don't talk to me! Don't talk to me!" He held out the palms of his hands toward them in interdiction, and made as if to go yet went not!
If there is an embarrassing sight left to one grown wan and worn in watching the foolishness of folly, it is the sight of a stripling in a plug hat. I would rather see a yearling colt hauling lumber, or a babe in arms scanning Homer. It is cruel; it is premature.
"Lord bless your soul, honey! she has been dead these three years! Why, you forget cows don't hang on as long as Methuselah, and Brindle was no yearling when we took her. She mired down in the swamp, back of the millpond, and before we could find her she was dead.
"Why didn't you leave it for that yearling couple to pull their own chestnuts out of the fire?" "Because," replied Dick quietly, "I'm not going to be the means, if I can help it of having any man kicked out of this corps when he's as anxious to be a soldier as I am!" "You're a ninny, just the same!" Bert decided.
