But if you go gun-fightin', if you kill a man, you're ruined. Then you'll kill another. It'll be the same old story. An' the rangers would make you an outlaw. The rangers mean law an' order for Texas. This even-break business doesn't work with them. If you resist arrest they'll kill you. If you submit to arrest, then you go to jail, an' mebbe you hang." "I'd never hang," muttered Duane, darkly.
"Where's this here outfit?" he growled, with a glance toward the dance-hall lights, "an' what makes you think they's a-goin' to be gun-fightin'?" "A'm t'ink dey ain' so far," replied the half-breed as he swung into the trail at a trot. And although the impatient deputy plied him with a volley of questions the other vouchsafed no further information.

And we ain't got the education to be officers. We got to do plain fightin'." "Plain fighting!" echoed Wilbur. "And I'll tell you another thing.
"How do I know you won't walk right out of this office and turn a trick right here in this very town?" "You don't know it, that's the devil of it!" exclaimed Rathburn. "An' there's no use in my telling you I won't, for you wouldn't take my word for it. You've got me pegged for a gun-fightin' bandit of first water an' clear crystal, an' I won't try to wise you up because it wouldn't do any good.
