And it is this side that belongs to the full red cheeks, the ever-ready chuckle or laugh; that puts the twinkle in the blue eyes, and the kindly tones in his deep voice.

It is this side of the Dean's character that adds so large a measure of love to the respect and confidence accorded him by neighbors and friends, business associates and employees.

It is this side of the Dean, too, that, in these days, sits in the shade of the big walnut trees--planted by his own hand--and talks to the youngsters of the days that are gone, and that makes the young riders of this generation seek him out for counsel and sympathy and help.
Three things the Dean knows--cattle and horses and men.

One thing the Dean will not, cannot tolerate--weakness in one who should be strong.
Even bad men he admires, if they are strong--not for their badness, but for their strength.

Mistaken men he loves in spite of their mistakes--if only they be not weaklings.
