"I'm not going to try again," announced Tag. "What I want is for you to keep away from me, and not follow me. If you do -well, you can guess the answer! Now, as I'm going, give me that gun." "I won't," Dick declared firmly, holding it by the muzzle and ready to employ the weapon as a club.

"You're within a hundred yards of my house.... For months I've been trying to make up my mind to come to you. God forgive me, Sheila, for not coming before!" Swinging his gun on its strap across his shoulder, he lifted her in his arms, and, like a child, she was carried through the silence of the woods, all barred with blood-red glimmers from a setting sun.

Which I suppose he had got that too when he went down after them pills. Henry, he looks at the gun. Then he looks at the pill. Then he swallers the pill. The perfessor puts his gun back into his pocket, and then he puts his pill into his mouth. He don't swaller it. He looks at the watch, and he looks at Henry. "Sixteen minutes past eleven," he says.

Passing through a wild gorge, at a place called Mecheira, we came upon a band of evil-looking men, gun on shoulder, who seemed to be out shooting in an easy-going fashion. Our party was both well-armed and numerous, and I fancy they looked on it as too heavy game for their rifles.

What did ye say about that?" "His gun were found on th' spot where the murder were done." "That's a lie for one, then. A man has got the gun now, safe and sound. I saw it not an hour ago." The man shook his head. "Yes, he has indeed. A friend o' Jem's, as he'd lent it to."

I knew that my position was serious, but my nerves played me false. I had never before faced a grizzly. I heard Big Pete’s voice calling to me to drop behind the rock, but I only stood there with a dogged stupidity, trying to aim my gun at a mark which seemed to me as big almost as a barn-door.

Equally to the surprise of Tim and the boys, the savage arose and handed the gun to the Irishman, who was only too glad to put his watch and three knives into his possession. "I only wish he had a couple more," said Howard, "so that we could each get one. We ought to be able to take care of ourselves then."

Steele had cowed him. If Blome had been heated by drink, or mad, or anythin' but what he was just then, maybe he might have throwed a gun. But he didn't. I've heard of really brave men gettin' panicked like that, an' after seein' Steele I didn't wonder at Blome. "'You see, Blome, you don't want to meet me, for all your talk, went on the Ranger.

"He's only a baby, don't you understand? Good God! You have children of your own." "I I " The fellow hesitated. "So he is. Damnation! What has come over me?" He lowered his gun and turned against the others who were clamoring behind him. "This is awful," he murmured, shakingly, when the crowd had passed on. "I've done all I intend to."

It wasn't the least bit of use to run. Granny knew that. That dreadful gun would go "bang!" and that would be the end of her. For a few seconds she stared at Farmer Brown's boy, too frightened to move or even think. Then she began to wonder why that dreadful gun didn't go off. What was Farmer Brown's boy waiting for? She got to her feet.
