Sometimes they has the reserves out at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street. In my opinion 'tis not political." "Thanks," said Danny. "And say did you ever hear a man complain of hippopotamuses? When not specially in drink, I mean." "Nothing larger than sea turtles," said Corrigan, reflecting, "and there was wood alcohol in that." Danny wandered.
"Steady there, boys!" he shouted. "Don't start anything. These men are here through prearrangement it's another frame-up. Keep your guns out of sight!" He turned, to see Corrigan grinning contemptuously at him. He met the look with naked exultation and triumph. "Got your body-guard within call, eh?" he jeered. "You need one.
He saw Carson waving a hand to him, and he answered the greeting, noting as he did so that Corrigan stood at a little distance behind Carson, watching. Trevison did not give him a second look, wheeling Nigger and sending him toward Manti at a slow lope. As he rode away, Corrigan called to Carson. "Your friend didn't seem to be much surprised."
His foreman came running to him, pale, disgusted, his voice snapping like a whip: "They've busted your desk an' rifled it. Twenty guys who said they was deputies from the court in Manti, an' Corrigan. I was here alone, watchin', as you told me, but couldn't move a finger damn 'em!" Trevison dismounted and ran into the house. The room that he used as an office was in a state of disorder.
She told me yesterday that she was engaged to marry a man named Corrigan. He is out here, she said.

"That would make them think you were Don't run, Father!" she begged, omitting the word which she dreaded to think might become attached to him should he go away, now that some of them had seen him. "We'll stand our ground, Father. If Corrigan has done those things he deserves to be punished!" Her lips, white and stiff, closed firmly. "Yes, yes," he said; "that's right we won't run."
Sullenly, Corrigan had returned to Manti with the deputies that had accompanied him to the Bar B. He had half expected to find Trevison at the ranchhouse, for he had watched him when he had ridden away and he seemed to have been headed in that direction. Jealousy dwelt darkly in the big man's heart, and he had found his reason for the suspicion there.
So they went in, and the lady said she had not so much as a silver bit to cross her hand with, and indeed would have pulled her daughters back; but the old woman would not have it. "Leave it so," says Mother Corrigan, "what matters an empty hand today when you'll fill the two hands of me with gold when the luck comes that's coming?
He stepped down into the street and went into the bank. Braman fawned on him, smirking insincerely. Corrigan had not apologized for striking the blow, had never mentioned it, continuing his former attitude toward the banker as though nothing had happened. But Braman had not forgiven him. Corrigan wasted no words: "Who's the best gun-man in this section?" Braman studied a minute.
