    Happy Jack, coming from Dry Lake where he had been sent for the mail, rode up to the Flying U camp just at dinner time and dismounted gloomily and in silence. His horse looked fagged—which was unusual in Happy's mounts unless there was urgent need of haste or he was out with the rest of the Family and constrained to adopt their pace, which was rapid. Happy, when riding alone, loved best to hump forward over the horn and jog along slowly, half asleep.

    Something's hurting Happy, was Cal Emmett's verdict when he saw the condition of the horse.

    He's got a burden on his mind as big as a haystack, grinned Jack Bates. Watch the way his jaw hangs down, will yuh? Bet yuh somebody's dead.

    Most likely it's something he thinks is going to happen, said Pink. Happy always makes me think of a play I seen when I was back home; it starts out with a melancholy cuss coming out and giving a sigh that near lifts him off his feet, and he says: 'In soo-ooth I know not why I am so sa-ad.' That's Happy all over.
