Ed says if they come down as fast as he did one time they didn't get a chance to say much about him; but Ben is introducing him to the president of the road and the general manager and the chief engineer and three or four directors, and they all shake hands with him till it seems like quite a reception.

I would return this Arizona girl to her home." "To her home!" broke in Harrison harshly. "To her husband," amended the Mexican significantly, adding after an instant "who is a good friend of mine." "You'll stand pat on that, will you?" "It would be my purpose to reward my friends those who have helped the cause if by any chance command of the Legion should fall to me."
Kern sighed. "Gents," he said, "the average is plumb spoiled." It caused a general lifting of heads and then a respectful silence. To have offered sympathy would have been insulting; to ask questions was beneath their dignity, but four pairs of eyes burned with curiosity. The least curious was Arizona.
Three days after Carl resigned, he was on his way to Phoenix, Arizona, where there was a threatened union tie-up, as United States Government investigator of the labor situation.

The green of irrigation beyond the river to eastward shone like square-cut emeralds, and southward the desert took to itself all imaginable hues at once. "Colorado!" she said then. "And Arizona! And Southern California! And something added that I can't just place!" "Sin's added by the scow-load!" growled her husband from the farther bed. "Come back, Tess, and put some clothes on!"
Both horses wheeled round and raced out of their improvised fort, and Tresler, following the keen-witted man, appreciated his resource as he darted into another angle between two other corrals. The darkness favored them, and the rustlers swept by. Arizona only waited long enough for them to get well clear, then his gun rang out again, and Tresler's too. But the game was played out.
