CHAPTER XVIII
THE RIVALRY OF COOKS
Taterleg said that he would go to Glendora that night with Lambert, when the latter announced he was going down to order cars for the first shipment of cattle.
"I've been layin' off to go quite a while," Taterleg said, "but that scrape you run into kind of held me around nights. You know, that feller he put a letter in the post office for me, servin' notice I was to keep away from that girl. I guess he thinks he's got me buffaloed and on the run."
"Which one of them sent you a letter?"
"Jedlick, dern him. I'm goin' down there from now on every chance I get and set up to that girl like a Dutch uncle."
"What do you suppose Jedlick intends to do to you?"
"I don't care what he aims to do. If he makes a break at me, I'll lay him on a board, if they can find one in the Bad Lands long enough to hold him."
