"Theah's no law," he said, "but justice. And some of these times, sah, yo' will meet up with it!" "I suppose yuh think yuh can hand it to me yoreself," leered the bandit leader. "I may," said Kid Wolf quietly. Garvey laughed loudly and contemptuously. "Yellow Skull!" he called. "Come here!" The man who strode forward with snakelike, noiseless steps was horrible, if ever a man was horrible.
"Dearie," said the old woman slowly, "Theah's been Delilahs eveh since theah's been Samsons an' they allus will be. I reckon Gawd made 'em to kinda take thu aige offen men's sharp desiah so as to keep it from cuttin' puah hearts apaht.

"Open that safe," he snapped, "and we'll see!"
While the stool was still at the apex of its swing, he struck, with the strength of his shoulder behind the blow. It landed full on the rustler's jaw, and Hardy went crashing backward, heels over head, landing on the wreckage of the stool. For a moment he lay there, stunned. "Get up!" snapped The Kid crisply. "Theah's still mo' comin' to yo'."
