Corliss, standing with his hand on the neck of Sundown's horse, smiled.
"Arizona's a man's country, Sun."
"She sure is!" said Sundown, throwing out his chest. "And lemme tell
you, Jack, it's a man's business to get married and settle
down--and--raise more of 'em. 'Specially like _me_ and _you_ and Bud
and Hi--only Hi's gettin' kind of old. She's a fine country, but she
needs improvin'. Sometimes them improvements keeps you awake nights,
but they're worth it!"
"Yes, I believe they're worth it," said Corliss, "So-long, Sun."
"So-long, Jack. I got to get back and milk Gentle Annie. We're
switchin' Billy onto the bottle, and he don't like to be kep' waitin'."
Chance, following Sundown, trotted behind the horse a few steps, then
turned and ran back to Corliss. He nuzzled the rancher's hand, whined,
and leapt away to follow his master.
