Arbuckle is a literary short story written in the early 20th century. Set on the stark plains and canyon country of the American Southwest, it reflects on the hardships of frontier life and the persistence of long-promised love as a returning cowhand seeks the woman he vowed to marry.

A weary schoolteacher, Kendall, boards with the Brownlie family on a bleak Texas Panhandle ranch and witnesses their joyless grind: a widowed mother, her overworked sons, and little Lily, whom the mother fiercely shields from toil. In town, Kendall meets Andrew Rogers from Oregon, who recounts—thinly veiling it as a “friend’s” tale—how he once loved a married woman while working for the Bar V outfit and left only after they pledged to wed if she were ever free. Realizing the woman is Mrs. Brownlie, Kendall returns with Rogers to the ranch. Recognition flares silently between the two; the mother tries to deflect it, then breaks. Rogers vows to take her and the children to the home he has made, and Kendall, moved by their reunion against the vast, indifferent plains, sees in it the stubborn strength of the human heart.
