Anderson was standing beside his desk. He started, and his hand flashed back significantly as he sighted his rival and enemy. "No gun-play, boss, was your orders," said Jake. "An' Neuman ain't packin' no gun."
The man drew the sleeve of his coat over his lips, his eyes shifting before the Sergeant's steady gaze. "I ain't thet sort," he muttered uneasily. "Yer don't need to think thet o' me." "Maybe not," and Hamlin swung into the saddle carelessly. "Only I thought I 'd tell you beforehand what would happen if you attempt any fool gun-play. Take the lead, you know the trail."

If you let me try you have two chances at him, and you can kill me if you choose afterward or give me a knife if you don't dare to let me have a gun." "He'll do for ye. Not a chance for ye with Thirkle in gun-play." "But give me a chance to fight for my life," I pleaded.
Wilbur turned and saw crossing the room a quiet-looking, spare man, light-complexioned, and apparently entirely inoffensive.
