Summer had indeed come to this northern part of Texas. The sooner we make a big stake, thebetter?
Yet Jett appeared to haveestablished the rule of traveling one day and hunting the next.
Here were straggling linesmoving down toward the river. Bad business, said Follonsbee, shaking his head pessimistically.
Like most of these hide-hunters, you say wipe theredskins off the earth.
Here were straggling linesmoving down toward the river.
Then she circled in the directionof the trail that led up the slope.
Reckon outfits arestrung down the river, too.
Milly could understand; she could excuseherself. Butshe had doubts of every move made by the leader of the outfit.
River on the south; Staked Plain on thewest, an on the third side thousands of hunters. She listened, finding in the sweettreble notes an augury for her future.
Milly had gone to bed, but she heard their gruff, wearyvoices.
Howshe strung out the sensations of that meeting!
Yet Jett appeared to haveestablished the rule of traveling one day and hunting the next. He and his comrades, however, did notmanifest any activity.

Night and darkness and silence and loneliness could not help Millynow. It had brancheslow down and rose under one of the tall elms.
Cautiously she crawled out on hands and knees, and then away fromthe tent, keeping in the shadow. Her heart began to beat and her breath to come and go quickly.
He seemed strange somehow, yet she knew him. There waslittle else to talk about except the buffalo, and the status ofJett and his men. She must hurry back to camp and allay Jetts suspicionsor fears concerning her.
Wal, continued Jett, evidently satisfied, when it gets darkthats your bedtime.
