So I sez to myself, 'Ef a six-shooter ain't of no account, wet's the use of carryin' it? So I just put my shooting-iron in my valise when I travel, and fill my holster with my gold dust, so! It's a deuced sight heavier than a revolver, but they don't feel its weight, and don't keer to come nigh it.

She had gathered wood, built the fire, and cooked breakfast while he slept. And now she stood a dozen paces from him, blushing a little at his amazed stare, waiting for him. "It's deuced good of you, Miss Jeanne!" he exclaimed. "I don't deserve such kindness from you." "Oh!" said Jeanne, and that was all. She bent over the fire, and Philip went to the creek.
As I told you in my letter, the affair has gone the round of the clubs, every one is laughing at the 'Galloping Countryman, as they call you.

"I will back Prince Florestan against him either in field or cover," said Endymion.
