much the same in th..i part of
the State at that time.
Mr. Bentley takes up the sto-
ry thusly:
“It was worth the trip mere-
ly to be ‘put up’ at the X ranch.
It is the sort of a ranch the
story books describe. The
cluster of buildings—low, ram-
bling houses of adobe and gran-
ite, hewn from the uearbv hills;
barns and corrals and sheds—
the grove of cottonwood and
willow trees robbing the dry
mountain air of its midday
sting; the gravity flow springs
which turned the place into a
paradise; the 13-acre orchard
ot grapes, apples, and |>eaches;
the perspective of ragged moun-
tain tops seeming to tower di-
rectly over you; and above all,
the air of easy hospitality thru
which the family and guests
move (and the Reynolds enter-
tain in wholesale fashion)—it
reminded this writer of an idyl
of ranch life contained between
the covers of a book. There
is only one region of Texas
where such a ranch can be
found, and that is in the fara-
way Davis Mountains. The X
ranch house marks the southern
extremity of the Davis range;
its elevation is exactly one mile
high. Because it is a mile high
the bell which bids you to arise
or summons you to meals car-
k’eenest sight; its meiiow ettaru
can be heard almost to the town
of Kent, eight miles away on
the railroad.
“But back to the cow drive.
I.et Mr. Reynolds toll the story.
“‘1 was just 21.’ he said. ‘1
came to Texas in 1847 as a 1-
year-old. settled in Shelby Coun <sj
until I was 14; moved to||>
