"The darned fools have let themselves be caught in a trap and they'll find there's no way out of it. In ten minutes the Americans will be all round the place, and as I don't wish to spend a year or two in a Yankee prison at present, I'm going to make tracks at once. Fighting aren't no good now. Men who'll let 'emselves be caught in a trap like this'll never be able to cut their way out of it.

"What's the railrud got to do with anything in this State?" inquired Mr. Ball, craftily. "That's different," said Mr. Crewe, shortly, "I'm a corporation man myself. They've got to defend 'emselves." "Certain.
They need to make things square." "For themselves?" "Jest so for 'emselves." The half-breed leaned over his horse's shoulder and spat. Then he ostentatiously returned the gun he was holding to its holster. "Maybe I'll need him no more," he said, with an obviously insincere sigh. Fyles was quite undeceived. "Surely if you're going out of business. What's your business?" The man laughed.
"Well, I was a-thinkin' that, that bein' so, an' Jim an' Sairy thinkin' so much o' 'nother, it wa'n't o' no use fur them ter keep waitin' along year eout an' year in fur a chance tu keep house by 'emselves.
