"I shore do," answered that individual. "If yu helps us at th' round-up we'll get it for yu. Fifty a month an' grub," offered the foreman. "O.K." replied Frenchy, anxious to even matters. Buck looked at his watch. "Seven o'clock-we ought to get there by five if we relays at th' Barred-Horseshoe. Come on." "How are we goin' to git them?" Asked Billy. "Yu leave that to me, son. Hopalong an' Frenchy'll tend to that part of it," replied Buck, making for his horse and swinging into the saddle, an example which was followed by the others, including Frenchy. As they swung off Buck noticed the condition of Frenchy's mount and halted. "Yu take that cayuse back an' get Cowan's," he ordered. "That cayuse is good for Cheyenne-she eats work, an' besides I wants my own," laughed Frenchy. "Yu must had a reg'lar picnic from th' looks of that crease," volunteered Hopalong, whose curiosity was mastering him. "Shoo! I had a little argument with some feather dusters- th' O-Bar-O crowd cleaned them up." "That so?" Asked Buck. |
