THE SEMI-MONTHLY MAGAZINE SECTION
The Tardy Cannon Ball
was way out there with nothing but
sheep to look at.
"Dink had been mostly* a grouchy,
roving sort of cuss; but now he begun to
figure that that valley was good enough
for him until Kingdom Come. Why, he'd
get out there with them sheep and actu
ally sing. The sheep hardly knew him, he
was so changed. 01' Floss used to come
over from his camp about three times ■
week and stuff himself full of corn
bread and hot cakes. They even got
some chickens, and had eggs and fries,
too, sometimes.
"She was most too nice for that kind
of life. You know what I mean. But
she didn't seem to think so, and she was
more to them two herders than sunshine
and rain. Luck seemed to trail her, too.
There wasn't a single- disease hit the
sheep in two --'.years,. and prices held so
steady that Dink bought a lot of stuff
for her in town that looked right funny
in that log shack.
"JESS had pretty little ways, and when .
J she'd laugh, a man would carry the
sound of it for a whole day. It v wasn't
like a grown-up woman 's laugh at all. It
sounded more like a child playing. They
used to see which could' make her laugh
most, them two. And if ol' Dink ever
begun to look serious, she'd coax him and
stroke his hair." ,
The agent had his shade down over his
eyes and was cutting notches in the arm
of the chair with a penknife. He
evinced some impatience over the windi
ness of this tribute. The other was not
disturbed: thereby. ,
"Well, things moved along and Floss
kept a-coming over three ;or four times
every week. Often the three of 'em
would joke,-.. about getting a wife for
! .Floss, and ? he'd say that she had to be a
twin to Jess or back she'd go by the next
burro express. Then they'd all laugh.
! f;"One evening, Dink came in from fol
lowing some strays. ■/•Mighty..- tired he
.was,* * and -he said something about the
rain holding off.• . ...
-"." 'Oh,' she broke out, 'why can't you
talk about something' else? •;1: never hear
a word but rain and grass and sick
sheep.' :. r '''"'''■ '
He just looked at.her, for he was
knocked so cold,- he could ft /think. It
.was the; first time Jess had ever got real
mad. Of course, they 'd had a ; spat now'
and again — you know how i it is with
married ; folks; everybody has 'em — but
they always blowed over quick, and her
[ and Dink were lovinger than ever. But
now, when Dink V tried to ; smooth her
j down, she got awful fretful and tore
! loose and walked ? the floor,- just eyeing of
i him. When he kept ;on explaining, she .
! run inside her room and called to him
through the /door, for heaven's sake, to
leave, her be. 'j
"After that, nothing he did seemed to
satisfy Jess. X She would get mad at him, \
no matter what 4he ? done. It seemed to
worry i her just to have him ? round. Then
again, she; would have fits of crying, and
if ihe / did n't get up and sneak off, she
would go pretty near crazy. -
" She, tcok to , finding fault, too,. with
the way Dink dressed. Heaven knows ;
there was reason enough — a sheepherder
can't put on a fresh-boiled shirt every
day. to ■■ tramp around on top of a hill.
But, before ) this, 1 she'd never noticed
what he/wore. Why, when Gober first
set eyes on her up in Capitan, ■he had on
a pair/ of overalls that were scandalous,
I and even Floss had advised him to
I change his shirt. X
" 'Mr. Campbell, he don go round
looking dirty all the, time,' \ Jess. says to
him once. , •
'' ' Mr. Campbell ? Do you mean ol'
Floss!'
,'' -~' Who else could I mean ?' she says.
It / was the \ first i time she 'd ever called
Floss ' Mr.' Gober figured she 'd got it in
for him, too. - v ; X ;,/■. .SfHHi
"Dink, he stood the nagging and the
coldness for quite a spell. Then he took
to}l spending more time with his flocks,
and tthe /more :he thought over it;, the
worse he \ felt. ' There * some men who
can carry this sort of trouble and come
through all ; the better, but Dink, he

didn't have enough of the stern stuff in
him. For pretty "soon lie got into a way
of buying bottles of mescal from the na
tives who were cutting wood in them
mountains."
The agent appeared to be dozing over
the recital. In the pause, lie yawned.
.'"VE 8 *" he said wearily. "You were
'* saving as' Dink hit 'er up pretty
lively?"
"He did and he didn't," was the
careful reply. "It did happen now and
again that Gober would go sniggering to
himself out there on a hill, along of the
sheep being so stupid. But mostly he
kept a good grip on himself. However,
it wasn't no use. Every day they seemed
to get farther apart. ' They were just
like that!" — the traveler made a cross
of two fingers — ' Once, when Floss was
over to see about a shovel he needed to
patch a waterhole. Dink told him all
about it and asked what in thunder he'd
ought to do. Floss shook his head —
that wasn't much in his line, because ol'
Floss had never been any hand with
women — and pretty soon he got up and
dragged it back to camp.
"It came fall, and one day he threw
a pack-saddle on a burro and dumb up
the hills to Capitan. • It was beautiful
weather — sunshiny, not too hot; only
about eighty, which is easy for them alti
tudes — and the clouds was trailing in
long wisps all around the middle of the
mountains. In one place they lifted and
bunched around a peak, and you could
see, miles off, a regular veil swaying be
tween them and' the ground. It was sure
one fine rain and Dink was some pleased,
because it was over a stretch, of country
where one of his flocks was grazing.
X "Well, Gober went along, thinking of
his sheep and of Jess, and whacking the
burro good when he needed it. He got to
the village at night, and had a drink or
two, and bought what he went for. Then
early next morning he ate his breakfast,
said /'No' to some fellers he knew, and
set out for home, driving the burro
ahead.
.*,:'' It was a bright, awful pretty day.
October, it was,; and the whole country
was sleek. Dink had n't ever felt better.
The air was fine, and he kept a singing.
It was a ,song he'd learned back in Lou-"
isiana. '*• '
, It's out on the road with a very heavy
load,
With a mighty awkward team and an aw
ful muddy road;
You may whip and you may holler, but
'. if .you cuss, it's on the sly.
Tlien whack the cattle on, hoys root,
hog, or die.
; "My voice ain't much. That high
note did nt sound i very good to me, did
it to you ? But you 'know that ol' song
— the" Bull Whacker, they call it. Dink
.was awful fond of that song.
"Somehow or other, aloft in them
mountains, with a breeze blowing, Dink
could p't get it into his head that every
thing would n't come right. It would
just have to. Jess would be like she used
to be, and they 'd set outside in the dusk
again; ; close up on the bench, and figure
on the sort of house they 'd have when
their ship came ; in and there was a flock
of little Dinks to make it lively. So he
, walloped the burro and went down the
steep trail at most a run. Dink aimed to
sneak up to the shack and slip in on Jess
and get her around the waist and show
her the present he 'd brought, before she
could / open ■; up on him. You see, '
Gober reasoned that if he could ever take
her, by surprise that way, they 'd get back
\to the point where they'd left off. But I
reckon that when? it starts to die, it's go
>ing to die don't you X Love, I mean.
"Dink stole in, all right. There
.was 't nobody to stop him. He went all
through the shack,: a-holding that pres
ent, very foolish, in his hand. It was a
red silk Mexican shawl, which ?he had
. paid seven dollars gold for it, and Dink
thought it would go wonderful well with
.her hair. Twice he called . 'Jess,' al
though he could . see plain she was nft
there; then he ran out and up to the
spring. It was as quiet there as in the
