We have about thirty dogs, including one absurd little terrier about half Jack's size, named Skip. Skip trots all day long with the hounds, excepting when he can persuade Mr. Stewart, or Dr. Lambert, or me to take him up for a ride, for which he is always begging. WE HAVE ABOUT THIRTY DOGS INCLUDING ONE ABSURD LITTLE TERRIER ABOUT HALF JACK'S SIZE NAMED SKIP SKIP TROTS ALL DAY LONG WITH THE HOUNDS EXCEPTING WHEN HE CAN PERSUADE MISTER STEWART OR DOCTOR LAMBIRD OR ME TO TAKE HIM UP FOR A RIDE FOR WHICH HE IS ALWAYS BEGGING
rtescue and I were the only ones who got through excepting Abernethy, the wolf hunter. It happened because it was a nine-mile run and all the cowboys rode their horses to a standstill in the first three or four miles, after which I came bounding along, like Kermit in the paper chase, and got to the end in time to see the really remarkable feat of Abernethy jumping on to the wolf, thrusting his gloved hand into its mouth, and mastering it then and there. He never used a knife or a rope in taking these wolves, seizing them by sheer quickness and address and thrusting his hand into the wolf's mouth in such a way that it lost all power to bite. You would have loved Tom Burnett, the son of the big cattle man. He is a splendid fellow, about thirty years old, and just the ideal of what a young cattle man should be. Up here we have opened well. We have two cracker jacks as guides--John Goff, my old guide on the mountain lion hunt, and Jake Borah, who has somewhat the Seth Bullock type of face.
