Excerpt from Bucking the Tiger Now he walked along, worried in a way, but jauntily; his five foot ten of broad manhood erect and lithe, muscle answering to muscle. He smiled. He cocked an imaginary beaver at the sombre face of misfortune, and told him self that all things come to an end.

Excerpt from The Tiger, Vol. 6: December, 1908 I guess that black is the meanest thing in your string, isn't it, No, he's all right until something goes wrong. Whenever I spur him up quick, or take down my reata, he throws his head down between his forelegs and goes to it about as hard and quick as anything I ever rode. Well, look out for him. Don't let him get the best of you. That's all I have to say. The two pulled down their broad rimmed sombreros, knotted their bandanas tightly around their necks, and rode together in silence against the storm. It was the middle of November. The snow was already lying on the soft sod of the South Fork Valley. It had not yet fastened its hold upon the rocky slopes that on all sides surrounded this magnificent ranch. But here and there in the most exposed parts it had begun to pile up. This was the time of the year when the cattle, which had been freely roaming the range since spring, began of their own accord to turn homeward. They knew well, from past years of experience, that man had stored up thousands of tons of meadow grass hay, to save them from the starvation threatening them on the range. To-day the boys of the Diamond D started out to round up the last stragglers. They separated into small companies in order to cover the greatest area possible, and thus we find Prentiss Fox and Jim Nason approaching the mouth of Crook's Canyon. Well, I guess I'll go up the canyon, suggested Prentiss, breaking the silence. You can ride the lava beds and we'll meet at the lone juniper in about an hour.
