"And did he feel the light again, Billy?" she whispered eagerly.，“Nope,” said the other. “Dad don’t want me to be a cowboy. I wouldn’t mind that much. He wants me to be a farm hand! Nix on that! I wish I could go up to the dam. That’s regular work. Reckon I could get a job up there?”，"So stupid of your uncle to leave you a property in such a country!" says Lady Rodney, discontentedly.
