Cowboy Dave

Author of boys illustrated books: ''Only a Farm Boy,'' ''Bob the Castaway,'' ''Comrades of the Saddle,'' ''Airship Andy,'' ''Tom Taylor at Westpoint,'' etc... "[...] appears at first sight." "Yes, Dave; but you're comin' on first-rate. I was a leetle opposed to th' Old Man sendin' you East to study, for fear it would knock out your natural instincts. But when you picked up that man as soon as you did," and he waved his hand toward the distant specks, "when you did that, I know you've not been spoiled, an' that there's hope for you." "That's good, Pete!" and Dave laughed. "Yes, I didn't agree with th' Old Man at first," the foreman went on, "but I see he didn't make any mistake." Mr. Carson was the "Old Man" referred to, but it was not at all a term of disrespect as applied to the ranch owner. It was perfectly natural to Pete to use that term, and Dave did not resent it.[...]".
