Reynolds went on: "Captain Charlesworth is cow boss, an' will see that you earn yo' bo'd.

Cap'n, this young man comes from my good friend, Cap'n Delmar, of Sante Fe.

You know Delmar ?" "I should think so," said the boss.

"It seems this youngster kin ride, seem's he's on Wild Cat." Reynolds smiled: "I reckon you can consider him both able and willin', captain." "Well, slip off an' eat.

I'll take care o' the cayuses." On the ground, scattered among the tents, and in the shade of the cook wagon, were some twenty or thirty herders.
