"Dont beat the poor brute. He cant go any farther and carry the yoke, much less pull the wagon."<br />Ezra dropped the gad and stepped upon the wagon tongue where he might squint into the dust cloud and decide which gray, plodding horseman alongside the herd was Robert Birnie. Far across the sluggish river of grimy backs, a horse threw up its head with a peculiar sidelong motion, and Ezras eyes lightened with recognition. That was the colt, Rattler, chafing against the slow pace he must keep. Hands cupped around big, chocolate-colored lips and big, yellow-white teeth, Ezra whoo-ee-ed the signal that called the nearest riders to the wagon that held the bosss family.<br />Bob Birnie and another man turned and came trotting back, and at the call a scrambling youngster peered over his mothers shoulder in the forward opening of the prairie schooner.<br />"O-oh, Dulcie! We gonna git a wile cow agin!"<br />Dulcie was asleep and did not answer, and the woman in the slat sun-bonnet pushed back with her elbow the eager, squirming body of her eldest. "Stay in the wagon, Buddy. Mustnt get down amongst the oxen. One might kick you. Lie down and take a nap with sister. When you waken it will be nice and cool again."<br />"Not seepy!" objected Buddy for the twentieth time in the past two hours. But he crawled back, and his mother, relieved of his restless presence, leaned forward to watch the approach of her husband and the cowboy. This was the second time in the past two days that an ox had fallen exhausted, and her eyes showed a trace of anxiety. With the feed so poor and the water so scarce, it seemed as though the heavy wagon, loaded with a few household idols too dear to leave behind, a camp outfit and the necessary clothing and bedding for a woman and two children, was going to be a real handicap on the drive.</p>...927912Cow-Country5656https://www.gandhi.com.mx/cow-country-13/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/490742/499f4d1d-a906-4ac9-b4d6-1c4740f1d3de.jpg?v=638335026632930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20131230000142813_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_<p> In hot mid afternoon when the acrid, gray dust cloud kicked up by the listless plodding of eight thousand cloven hoofs formed the only blot on the hard blue above the Staked Plains, an ox stumbled and fell awkwardly under his yoke, and refused to scramble up when his negro driver shouted and prodded him with the end of a willow gad.<br /> "Call your master, Ezra," directed a quiet woman voice gone weary and toneless with the heat and two restless children.
