To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His store looked quite businesslike, and was well stocked with goods. Two good cattle-corrals were built, and a well dug, about ten yards from the door, in which, at thirty feet depth, there was plenty of good water. The spot had been chosen by a "water wizard," with his hazel twig. Though there can't be anything in the twig, it's curious how often these folks strike water first time; witness my '' wizard " at Monticello, in Kansas. 176 THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEES WORK Thompson had also added to o...ur establishment a Mexican vaqu^ro named Caesario, and his '^ muger/' or wife ; the latter to act as cook, for though my friend was an expert in that line himself, he preferred some one else to do the work for him. Everything was in good order and the place already looked quite flourishing ; but in the midst of his preoccupations the Colonel had quite forgotten to look after the cattle, and every one of them had made tracks for their old range on the Medina, whence they had come. So the day after my return I started with two Mexicans and six horses on a " cow-hunt." The first night we camped in the forks of the San Antonio and Medina Rivers, hard by the ancient Catholic Mission of San Jo66.
