"Good gracious, ma'am, but you're ce'tainly a wizard! That's why I came, though it's a secret." "What is he wanted for?" "Robbing a train, three murders and a few other things." As she swung from her pony in front of the old-fashioned Southern log house, Artie laughed at him over her shoulder. "You're a fine officer! Tell all you know to the first girl you meet!"
It doesn't stop for anybody not even for the president of the road." "You don't say! Well, I ce'tainly appreciate the honor you did me in stopping to take me on." His slight drawl was quite devoid of concern. "But you had no right to flag the train. Can't you understand ANYTHING?" groaned the conductor. "You explain it again to me, sonny.
"All right. I'll be good, Steve. I was only joking, anyhow. But it ce'tainly is right funny to sit up here and watch them snake up to the empty cabin. See that fellow with the Mexican hat? I believe it's my jealous friend Pablo. He's ce'tainly anxious to get one Gringo's scalp. I could drop a stone down on him so he'd jump about 'steen feet." "There's one reached the window.
The operator passed them across the counter without demur. "Now reach for the roof." Up shot the station agent's hands. The bandit glanced over the written sheets and commented aloud: "Huh! One from the conductor and one from Mackenzie. I expected those. But this one from Collins is ce'tainly a surprise party. I didn't know he was on the train.
McWilliams to chaperon us. But that's an added pleasure." "Would it be an added pleasure to get bumped off to kingdom come?" drawled the foreman, giving a reluctant admiration to his aplomb. "Thinking of those willing boys of yours again, are you?" laughed Bannister. "They're ce'tainly a heap prevalent with their hardware, but their hunting don't seem to bring home any meat."
She gave a startled little cry that died in her throat. "Yes, it's ce'tainly a valuable wash-stand. Chippendale furniture ain't in it with this kind. I reckon the king of England's is ace high against a straight flush when it bucks up against yours." Melissy threw up her cards. "How did you find out?" she asked hoarsely. The deputy forced her to commit herself more definitely. "Find out what?"
"Seems to me if you got to trapse round this here country hunting for that permanent residence, it ain't necessary to disturb the Sabbath calm so on-feelin'. I don't seem to remember hearing any great demand for an encore after the rendering of the first verse." "You do ce'tainly remind me of a lien with one chick, Steve," laughed Dick. "I ain't worrying about you none.

Somebody on the other side of the creek was trying to sing. It was ce'tainly the limit. Pretty soon he come out of the brush and I seen it was Bannister." "You're sure it was Bannister?" "If seeing is believing, I'm sure."
"You ce'tainly must have come into that million I mentioned, judging by your actions," he insisted, with a smile. "Wrong guess, Steve. I've just been giving away a million. That's why I'm hilarious." "You'll have to give me an easier one, son. Didn't know you had a million." "Oh, well! A million, or a half, or a quarter, whatever the Moreño claim is worth. I'm not counting nickels.
"I ce'tainly seem to be interfering in your affairs a good deal, Mr. Anderson. You may take my word for it that you was the last person in the world I expected to meet here, unless it might be this boy. I left him safe at a ranch fifty miles from here, and I left you a staid business man of Epitaph. But it seems neither of you stayed hitched. Why for this yearning to travel?"
