W h en 1 w e n t out west to spend a
sum m er on m y fa th e r’s ranch I was
a t an age to regret th a t I should miss
th e attentions o f the young men o f the
•octal w o rld to w h ich I belonged. 1
w as to ld th a t I w o uld m eet no men
except cowboys, w hom 1 kn ew to be a
w ild , dissipated, shooting and general
ly disreputable set. In tru th , I did not
w ish to go, bu t I was not in good
health, and the doctor recommended
th e open a ir o f ranch life.
W h en I got on th e ranch I found the
surroundings pretty much as I had ex­
pected.
H o w e ver, I got e x h ila ratio n
from th e life th a t I had not expect­
ed. E v e ry m ornin g a fte r brea kfas t 1
m ounted a horse th a t had been pro v id ­
e d fo r me and, w ith fa th e r fo r an a t­
tendant, galloped over our broad acres
till noon. T h en I lunched and rested
till near d in n e r tim e, a fte r w h ich meal
I w as no t long In seeking m y couch.
T h e consequence o f this mode o f life
w as rem a rk ab ly beneficial, and I g a in ­
ed strength every day.
Th e cowboys w e re not so u n interest­
in g a fte r all. N o th in g could be more
d iffe re n t from the w ays o f the beaux,
to w hom 1 had been accustomed, and 1
could not but feel, n o tw ith stan d in g the
courtliness o f the one com pared w ith
the abashed m anners o f the other w hen
In m y presence, th a t there was some­
th in g w a n tin g In the first th a t 1 found
In abundance In the second. F o r In ­
stance, In presence o f danger I w ould
In fin ite ly ra th e r be under th e protec­
tion o f the cowboys. B u t I d id not feel
an y interest In them .
T h e re w as one exception. l i e w as
called K en tu c ky Ned.
S tra y bits o f
gossip concerning him cam e to m y ears.
H e was • sort o f black sheep In a good
K e n tu c k y fa m ily . H e bad had an en ­
counter w ith some one in th a t state
and had le ft I t betw een m id n ig h t and
m orning. H e had drive n stage, served
aa a p riv a te In the U n ited States a rm y
an d herded sbedp. F a th e r had taken
him In to his em ploy w ith o u t kn ow in g
an y th in g m ore o f hla antecedents than
an y o f hla o th e r ca ttle tenders and
d id n ’t k n o w the K e n tu c k ia n w as a gen­
tle m a n born till I apprised him o f the
fa c t
Then- fa th e r w a n te d to know
bow I found I t o u t
T h e re w as more th a t fa th e r would
have liked to know .
K e n tu c k y Ned
h ad fa llen heels over bead In love w ith
me. N o t th a t he said so; he kn ew 1
w a s too fa r beyond his reach. N o r did
I offer him th e least en couragem ent
H e sim ply saw and was conquered
w ith o u t a word or a look from me.
H o w did I kn ow this? I t w as as plain
to me aa the aun In heaven.
T h e day cam e w hen I In tu rn was
conquered, and by K e n tu c k y Ned, not
b ra w ord, b u t by an a c t N o r w as the
act o f especial benefit to me, nor did
he kn ow th a t be w a s 'In flu e n c in g me.
Indeed, he d id not kn o w th a t 1 saw the
act which won me.
F a th e r and I w ere out on one of our
m orning rides. F ro m an em inence we
w ere looking a t a herd o f cattle. Some­
th in g had frigh ten ed them , and they
w ere run n in g w ith th e ir tails I d the s ir
to w a rd a bluff.
N ow , 1 had learned
enough about ca ttle to know th at when
a herd gets going It can’t stop. Those
In the rear keep crow d ing those ahead,
and It doesn't m atte r If the advance
ones come to a precipice high as N ia g ­
a ra —they w ill be forced over.
None
can stop unless It be those* in the rear.
W e saw 600 or GOO cattle going like
mad fo r the bluff, and It did not seem
th a t an y o f them would be le ft alive.
Th en we saw a cow boy—I recognized
him fo r K e n tu c k y Ned, though fa th e r
d id n ’t —sp ur his m ustang from beside
th e herd, m ake a detour and ride righ t
betw een the leaders and tbs bluff, cu t­
tin g th e ir course a t rig h t angles. Then
he cantered leisurely along the edge of
th e bluff, reined In and looked around
a t th e Im m ense herd coming righ t to­
w a rd him .
T h e re seemed not one
chance In a thousand fo r him to escape
being pushed off the edge and burled
under tons o f flesh. A nd w h a t did be
do? W h y , he rolled a cig arette on the
pommel o f his saddle, lighted i t and
puffed as coolly as I f he w ere In per­
fe ct sa fety .
F a th e r and 1 w atched him so te rro r
s tric k e n th a t w s couldn’t e ith e r o f us
speak.
Suddenly I saw the cattle In
th e lead tr y to stop. T h e y w ere forced
on. ho w ever, but when those d irectly
In th e ir rear cam e to th e place w here
the first bad reduced th e ir pace they
trie d to stop too. P re tty soon most of
th e c a ttle bad succeeded In stopping
and w ere all lic k in g the grass. Then
those w h ich had been pushed In the
advance stopped, tu rn ed trod went
back. T h e herd was saved.
T h a t n ight fa th e r sent fo r K en tucky
N ed to th an k him fo r saving thousands
o f dollars In cattle. F a th e r asked him
bow be did It, w h a t m ade the herd
tu rn . “Oh, th a t was simple,*’ said the
cowboy. ” A bag o f sa lt had been sent
out for th q cattle. W hen I saw them
beading fo r the b lu ff I rode across
th e ir fro o t w ith the beg and scattered
th e sa lt before them .
E very one of
them s n iffe d 'It and was bound to atop
fo r IL "
I thanked K en tu c ky Ned, too, and
Jphen I d k l so gave him m y band. I
pressed bln s lig h tly , and he kn ew a fte r
th a t th a t I w as not so fa r abovo him
ns he had supposed. B u t I d id n ’t then
recognise th a t his coolness and bravery
had th ro w n in to shadow tb s tra its o f
every lover I bad ever bad. „ T b e day
earns w hen I found It Im possible to
break w ith him , and th en —
T h a t w aa m any years ago. I found
th ere was nothing o f m om ent against
K e n tu c k y Nad, and I ev en tu ally m ar­
ried h im —n o t only th a t, bu t th e g re a t­
e r p a rt o f m y life since has been spent
an th e ranch I Inherited.
