Bane settled right in and he was proving himself with determination and steel guts. I could not believe how he could ride and he had no problems roping the calves. He was a decent enough young man and I liked him a lot, but I just felt like there was more to this kid and his past than he was telling me.

I decided that I would have to go talk to Howard to find out more about him. I hadn’t seen Howard since the day I left word that I needed a hand. I left Bane to the chores and told him I would return by nightfall and he would have plenty to keep him busy. I jumped on my horse and headed for Howard’s.

When I arrived, Howard was out back of his store and I must have caught him at a bad time, because his wife was standing near him with a frown spread across her forehead. So, I excused myself and told him I would come back later.

Howard’s wife was one of those women that hated the country. He had met her when she hopped off a stagecoach. She was on a layover, because the coach had problems with its wheel’s axle and would have to be tended to.

She was stuck in town for a few days until it could be repaired. Howard was crossing the street when she got out of the coach as mad as a wet hen. She was only passing through and everyone that laid eyes on her knew it.

Mabel Bell Lee was her name and her husband had owned a very fine hotel in Chicago, Illinois until he was killed in the Great Fire in 1871. Mabel packed up and decided to move to Colorado, where her sister lived. Mabel, by that time, was in her forties and did not want to remain in Chicago.

She had no intentions of stopping in Wyoming until she met Howard. It was love at very first sight for the pair and they have been together since. Mabel does fine as long as she’s in town and not getting her hands dirty, but if work needs to be done, she is on Howard to get it done. She has grown to hate living out here and it seems to be getting worse the older she gets.

Howard tolerates her and her moods as much as he can and just shakes his head a lot. I guess he loves her and most times you catch them laughing together, and once in a while you see her reach out and take his hand.

When you saw that frown on her forehead, you knew it was time to go the different direction. So, I waited at the saloon. It wasn’t long until Howard came moseying in, looking like he had just been given another long list of things she needed him to do.

She was onto him about building her a new room on the store.

They live at the back of the store and with all the merchandise; it does not leave much room for living space.
