"Shore thet canyon is one hell of a place," he began finally.

"Where was everybody?
Tige and the pup went down with me an' treed a cougar.
Yes, they did, an' I set under a pinyon holdin' the pup, while Tige kept the cougar treed.

I yelled an' yelled.

After about an hour or two, Wallace came poundin' down like a giant.

It was a sure thing we'd get the cougar; an' Wallace was takin' his picture when the blamed cat jumped.
