ALKALL - 489 Deliberately she led her husband into the house to see the baby, and with a sad shake of the head Miles dropped back into his chair. Jennie Mason hesitated for a single mo- ment, then went in after them. Her very attitude showed that she felt heavily the responsibility of the little one; it seemed that she was sure none was qualified to watch over it as she was.

Dudes like the range in autumn When blue haze is on the hills. (If they had to work the roundup Maybe so they’d miss its thrills! ) And so the range has seasons When all sorts of folks can ride, And play at punchin’ cattle, Though when winter comes they hide. But when woeful winds come keenin’ And the blizzard’s on the wing You'll find cowpunchers ridin’, Same as summertime or spring. Because though rangeland winter Comes to bluster and to freeze, No cowboy is a quitter With a horse between his knees! = oe Foe a Pee SS ess ~ . ‘a pe oe Tene. =e SESE COCKE car
