And she's some girl. too. believe
me! The biggest brown eyes you ever
saw in your life, a complexion like
cream. and hair-well, there never
was such hair! She was tanning her
self real slow, and in the language OF
the fan that means: This don't inter

del Rey blowing up like volcano IN

it was great, and she could dance like

you don't need to get so grouchy about
it--she asked about you!"
"Aw!"
Eyes, she did! So you see what you

What did she ask?"
"Well, she asked"-here he stopped

himself; what does she know about
cowboys?"
"Oh, she's wise!" declared Phil;
