Behind them, Sillett stood quietly observant, but his right hand stole down to his pocket. "Hold up your hands!" he said sharply. Jeff and the girl sprang apart. Sillett had levelled a pistol at the deputy-sheriff, repeating his words with one addition: "Quick!" Jeff raised his hands. "He carries a 'gun," said Sillett to his daughter. "Take it from him." She obeyed.
He threw himself fully into his part a young rancher made deputy-sheriff, who by the occasional exercise of his duty had incurred the hatred of a small floating population that lived by fraud, violence, and cattle-stealing. The conspiracy was to raid his cattle, to lure him to pursuit, to ambush him, and kill him.
Bless you, it don't do to make mistakes in my business." "And what is your business?" Jeff beamed. He was certainly a good-looking fellow, and warmed by food and, comparatively speaking, free from pain, he was worthy of more than a passing glance. "I'm deputy-sheriff of San Lorenzo County," he declared, "and mighty proud of it."
Percy Parrott, who had arrived early to give his unsolicited aid to the deputy-sheriff. The Colt's automatic was easily identified as Dubois's gun, and two shells were missing. "A pretty rough piece of work," commented Dr. Harpe as she looked at the empty chambers. "As raw as they make it," agreed the Dago Duke for once. "Don't run away, Dago," said the sheriff, "I may want you."
Grahame of Killearn, being my deputy-sheriff in that countrie, went along with the party that marched from Stirling; and doubtless will now meet with the worse treatment from that barbarous people on that account.
To improve his sense of smell he gave up smoking, of which he was extremely fond, nor, for the same reason, does he to this day use tobacco. He accustomed himself also to go with little sleep, and to subsist on the least possible quantity of food. As a deputy-sheriff this educated faculty of not requiring sleep aided him in many important captures.
"Yes, the very last," answered Riel: "I believe and trust in Him. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me." Dr. Jukes shook hands with the prisoner, who said in English: "Thank you, doctor." Then he continued: "Jesus, Marie, Joseph, assistez moi en ce dernier moment." Deputy-Sheriff Gibson then said, "Louis Riel, have you anything to say before death?" Riel answered "No."
They were talking loudly and excitedly to the officers, who grew at once loud and excited, too. The boy roused himself, and began to listen to the conversation. The burglars had been captured! yes, that was what they were saying. The deputy-sheriff had nabbed the whole gang in a western district of the county this morning early, and they were lodged at this moment in jail. Barney's heart sank.
I made up my mind that I could contrive to get it again. I went out to Dearborn, saw the Deputy-Sheriff of Wayne County, Daniel D. Tompkins, told him the circumstances and what my suspicions were, and my plan, and asked him if he would go with me to Canada. He said he would.
My friend, deputy-sheriff like me, found himself in this hell of I mean in this terrible tight place. He was sent to arrest the father of the girl he loved." "Oh-h-h!" This prolonged exclamation sadly puzzled Jeff, whose claim to consideration at the hands of many friends was a guileless transparency of purpose, a candour and simplicity unhappily too rare.
