L his car. Until gasoline married into the skylark family, Bud did well
enough to keep him contented out of a stock saddle.

(You may not know it, but it is harder for an old cow-puncher to find
content, now that the free range is gone into history, than it is for a
labor agitator to be happy in a municipal boarding house.) Bud did well
enough, which was very well indeed. Before the second season closed with
the first
fall rains, he had paid for his big car and got the insurance policy

red. She knew how to tilt her "beach" hat at the most provocative angle,
and she knew just when
to let Bud catch a slow, sidelong glance--of the kind that is supposed
to set a man's heart to syncopatic behavior. She did not do it too
often. She did not powder too much, and she had the latest slang at her
pink tongue's tip and was yet moderate in her use of it. Bud did not
notice Marie
