Excerpt from The King of the Broncos: And Other Stories of New MexicoSo! There was, then, a horse in the world that could run faster than J overo 1 Impossible! And yet, there you were! The lips of J overo's rider suddenly puckered in a low whistle, and the vexed ridges in his brow unbent to a frown of wonder. Why, next thing you knew, you would be finding some one braver than Don Ireneo, or a better wrestler than Cuate, or one wiser than the Padre Brun himself, who could run clear through a book and never once stub his toe!These were revolutionary thoughts, and J overo's gait was not conducive to thought of any sort. His small ears were set ¿at back to his head, his neck was strained forward, his nostrils ¿ared like bells, and as he thundered on it was evident enough that he was as much put out as his master by yonder impudent runaway. Though Juan no longer sat as the rider sits whose heart is in the chase, J overo lunged ahead fiercely as ever. He would run down yon upstart on his own hook, or die trying.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
