Chapter VI
PASO CABRAS They did not make butter on the Three Star. Since the arrival of Molly an unwilling and refractory cow had been brought in from the range and half forced, half coaxed to give the fresh milk that Mormon insisted the girl needed. Until then evaporated milk had suited all hands. But butter--to go with hot cakes and sage-honey--was an imperative need for the riders. Riders demanded the best quality in the "found" part of their wages and the three partners supplied it.
