description: Excerpt Cherry glanced at her pa who frowned and slightly shook his head. Still she couldnt help herself and she leaned over and looked down the road. She could see the rider and his horsea large buckskin stallion. As he rode nearer she studied his white shirt black flat-brimmed hat and double-breasted vest. Ever nearer he rode and she fancied his pants were almost the same color as his horse with silver buttons running down the outer leg. Cherry had seen a similar manner of dress beforeon the Mexican vaqueros that often worked for her pa in the fall. Cherry her pa scolded in a whisper as the stranger neared them. She straightened and blushed embarrassed by being as impolite in her staring as the other town folk were in theirs. It seemed everyone had stopped whatever they had been doing to walk out to the street and watch the stranger ride in. No one spokethe only sound was that of the breeze a falcons cry overhead and the rhythm of the riders horse as it slowed to a trot.
