"Jack you are so strong and such a wonderful cowboy. You can ride with my herd anytime." The buxom blonde lifted her lips for a kiss. As Jack kissed her he heard a voice in his head. "Jack wake up."
"HEY JACK KELLY WAKE UP!!" Jack sat straight up in bed.
"For the love of all that is holy what do you think you were doing? I was having a great dream." Jack yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Sorry for waking you up but if I hadn't you would miss lunch." Mush explained with a shrug before he walked out the door.
"Oh like that would be such a loss, we haven't had a decent meal since we moved in here." Jack grumbled as he began to dress.
As he came down the stairs he was assaulted by the smell of seven bachelors. After the strike Bryan Denton and Governor Roosevelt had put aside money for any newsie who wanted to get out of the city. All the newsies would have to do to access the money was to contact Denton and they would receive one hundred dollars, enough to start over. It had taken Snyder less than four months to resume his position at the refuge, and even less time for him to start hunting for the newsies that brought him down. Jack, Mush and five others had decided that their best bet was to pool their money and move west.
Jack had tried to convince the others to head for New Mexico, but when they arrived in Texas Spot and Race had had enough of trains and put their collective feet down and refused to go any further. With what was left of their money they had put a down payment on a rundown farm and had done their best to actually make it work. They had been at it for over a year now, the first crop had come in and had paid all of their debts, plus a little left on the side. But they had no idea how to cook or clean, the house was in a worse state than before.
As Jack came in he saw that the other guys were already seated at the table. "What's for lunch?"
"Mush," Race said pointing to the pot.
"This is the fourth time this week." Jack complained as he dished himself some of the pot.
"You don't want mush, make your own dinner. I am tired of having all of you complain about what I make for meals around here. It isn't like we have much of a choice of what we are going to eat." Blink said as he slammed down his spoon on the table.
"You know what we need? A girl." Skittery said with conviction.
Various responses of "What", "Your Joshing" and one "Now you're talking" went around the table.
"Now where are we going to find us a girl. They just don't hang around on the brush you know." Spot commented with a snort.
"I know that but it ain't like we can't advertise for one in a pape." Skittery responded.
"We can't advertise in any papes. What do you want it to say, "Hey Snyder all seven of the guys you're looking for are held up in a small Texas town. Come and get us." Sure Skitts that would just make all our lives perfect." Spot shot back.
"Conlon stop picking on him, it ain't that bad of an idea." Jack said scratching his chin.
"Fine Kelly how would you write the ad?" Spot asked leaning back.
"Let's see "Wanted one wife, young, strong, not afraid of hard work or hard times. Send replies to Jack Frances in Bloomington, Texas." What do you guys think?" Jack asked.
"You ain't gonna mention that there are seven of us?" Mush asked skeptically.
"Nah don't need to scare them off before they write us." Jack responded with a shrug.
"So we just gonna get one girl to come out? Who is gonna get to marry her? We gonna draw straws?" Race asked somewhat jokingly.
"Why not try to get seven girls. We can look at as many as we want then we'll pick seven and send money for them to come out." Jack said logically. "So who wants to go to town and send the telegram to Denton?"
