He awoke in the dark. His awakening was simple, easy, without
movement save for the eyes that opened and made him aware of
darkness. Unlike most, who must feel and grope and listen to, and
contact with, the world about them, he knew himself on the moment
of awakening, instantly identifying himself in time and place and
personality. After the lapsed hours of sleep he took up, without
effort, the interrupted tale of his days. He knew himself to be
Dick Forrest, the master of broad acres, who had fallen asleep
hours before after drowsily putting a match between the pages of
"Road Town" and pressing off the electric reading lamp. Near at
hand there was the ripple and gurgle of some sleepy fountain. From
far off, so faint and far that only a keen ear could catch, he
heard a sound that made him smile with pleasure. He knew it for the
distant, throaty bawl of King Polo-King Polo, his champion Short
Horn bull, thrice Grand Champion also of all bulls at Sacramento at
the California State Fairs. The smile was slow in easing from Dick
Forrest's face, for he dwelt a moment on the new triumphs he had
destined that year for King Polo on the Eastern livestock circuits.
