heard the story from Jerry Madden,
Teddy's present partner in the cattle
business, a couple of years ago, as we
sat in the shade of tho ranchhouse one
afternoon.
"Why Teddy don't drink and like
wise swears quite few?" he asked in re-
sponse to query of mine. ''Thatl Sho'
e hain't TUX nothin f'r most IL r 13
year, count O his kid. Married. Oh,
no, none whatever. They hain't no
heifer gifts Teddy, not much. 'Why?'
Give it up. Mebbe you en- tell me?
"Ted was ridin along one day-'tis
d3 year ago-ridin clost by tn railroad
track one evenin, feeliatlind O. sore an
disgusted like, when, All of suddent,
e sees somethin funny trottin along tn
track. Ted stops an wipes is eyes an
gazes q hull lot more, cause what e
seen want pothin like what we finds
round this ycre patch O. bresh. None
whatever. Moreovermore, Ted d ben
tankin up quite plenty that day, e
had, an was dead leary O. what might
be tn matter of is peeps. But e rubs
'em quite a lot more, an l hope 1 may
straddle tn ghost bronze eff there want
tn purtiest little maverick ye ever see
little girl 'hout year old-browsin
along tn track, lookin lost.
''Course Ted rides up an asts who she
is an what she's doin there, all alone,
with 'er purity face an hams an elegant
clo'es, but she couldn't tell i'm. Jes'
bust out cryin an KEEP cryin, an
'twa'n'tf'r day r so we cd even guess
at 'er bein there, cause she was tongue
tied r somethin an couldn't say but
few words, pore little thing. But we
gifts at it th't 'er names Norah, we does,
an th't she draps off q train jes' b'fore
she sights Ted ('r i'm, herr.

tised, O. course, t. git 'er folks But we
gifts no word, not a bloomin shout, so
Ted jes' bran's tn kid FIR his'n an PR

'After tn kid was bout 8 + 10 years
old we all don't get t. see much of 'er,
cause Ted, hayin laid up some dough,
sends 'er off t. school. She's sho'
'nough thoroughbred, she is, says Ted
dy, an she gifts no scrub trainin. Sabe?
"That goes, O. course, an tn kid
likewise goes t. school, comm back once

an we all, mostly Ted, willin t. lay
right down an let 'er tromp on oul
