"Tom's in with us." "He understands this ain't a pleasure excursion, doesn't he?" I asked. "Folks take their pleasure different, Mr. Sedgwick," drawled the cowman. "I shouldn't wonder but I might enjoy this little cruise even if it gets lively." "My opinion is that it may get as lively as one of your own broncos," I explained. "I'll certainly hope for the worst," he commented.
Brent, with a comical look at his wife, remarked: "I suppose this is in lieu of broncos?" "They are branching out!" she gasped. "And see her clothes!" She might well exclaim, for Bertha, in her long cloak, her head bare, and her pretty dress showing, did not in the least resemble the picture Miss Franklin had drawn; neither did she resemble the demure, almost sullen girl Mrs.
It must be confessed that his sense of humor possesses also a certain robustness. The J. H. outfit had been engaged for ten days in busting broncos. This the Chinese cook, Sang, a newcomer in the territory, found vastly amusing.
"Here she comes!" cried someone, and all eyes were turned to see the stage swinging down the street. Abe drew back a little to the thin edge of the crowd; he was expecting neither letters nor friends. The six broncos were brought to a stand in the midst of the crowd, the mail bag was tossed to the post-master and the passengers began climbing down from their seats.
"Nacherally, I makes no doubt that if you goes clost to Injuns an' studies their little game you finds some of 'em good an' some bad, some gaudy an' some sedate, some cur'ous an' some indifferent, same as you finds among shore-enough folks. It's so with mules an' broncos; wherefore, then, may not these differences exist among Injuns?
"Oh, somebody will be killed!" screamed Jessie, and often turned her face away to shut out the sight. "Oh, why do they do such dreadful things?" she added. "They've got to break the ponies somehow," answered Dave. "Those broncos will be all right after they get used to it." "Say, do you know, I'd like to try that," remarked Roger.
Also, the girl had more of a start than he had at first realized, and she did her best to hold the handicap. Hitched to the light buckboard, her young broncos could have run a good part of the way to Stockchute. She was far out on the flat before she at last tired of the wild bumping over ruts and sagebrush roots, and pulled her horses down to a walk.
The cow mooed at me, and even the horses whinnied a little, though they were not what you might call children's pets, being broncos, and more apt to take a kick at you than to try to throw you a kiss. The chickens had gone to roost and didn't have much to say. They refused to come down for their supper, but the horses and the cow were very glad to get theirs.
Simultaneously the right dropped to the lariat coiled on the pummel of the saddle, loosed it, and swung the noose at the end freely in air. On galloped the broncos, unmindful of the trick on around the limiting fence, until suddenly they found almost in their midst the animal, man, whom they so feared, whom they were trying so to escape.
Were they watching him for fear he might be a detective? Her resentment against him and them boiled over into swift wrath. "You're a fine lot all of you. I'd like to wash my hands clean of the whole outfit." She turned on her heel and strode limping to the house. Ned laughed as he swung to the back of one of the two broncos waiting with drooped heads before the porch.
