Therefore is the end written thus: Came to Jim Webster's home in Socorro a week later a babbler from San Marcial, who told a tale: "There was a man by the name of Texas Rankin came down to San Marcial last week an' went gunnin' for Buck Reible. Quickest thing you ever saw. Buck peppered him so fast you couldn't count; an' I'm told Texas wasn't no slouch with a gun, either."
If you have too many sarvents, pay some on 'em off, or when they quit your sarvice don't hire others in their room, that's all; but you miss your mark when you keep firin away the whole blessed time that way. I went out a gunnin when I was a boy, and father went with me to teach me. Well, the first flock of plover I seed I let slip at them and missed them.
It worked so well that by the second week in September we had to open t'other Annex. The gunnin' was bad, but Peter's ads fetched the would-be's, and his 'excursions' and picnics and the football team held 'em. The football team especial. Parker cap'ned that, and, from the gunnin' crew and the waiters and some fishermen in the village, he dug up an eleven that showed symptoms of playin' the game.
The oiling of the gun was not all. Something at the back of his mind was more significant than this act of his hands, and this something, the look said, she also knew. All through the moment of her gazing down at him Tira was telling herself she must not speak. Yet she spoke: "You goin' gunnin'?" "I dunno but I be," he returned, his eyes again on his work.
He don't land the boy at that; Bloojacket gets away with a shattered arm. Also, the word goes that Hardrobe is still gunnin' for Bloojacket, the latter havin' gone onder cover some'ers by virchoo of the injured pinion. "As Colonel Sterett says, these pore aborigines experiences bad luck the moment ever they takes to braidin' in their personal destinies with a paleface.
When Jabez finished speakin' she turned around an' looked at Piker. "I can't figger out just whose dog-robber yon are," she sez; "but next time you go gunnin' for Silver Dick you better take the whole gang with you." It fair hurt me to see Barbie's face, so hard it was an' so different from the real Barbie: but it warmed my heart to hear the way she made that Silver Dick ring out.
The only insurance I ever had was a quick ear, an' even now, I c'n hear a twig snap near a quarter of a mile away. An' that used to be good insurance in the ol' days when, if yo' weren't gunnin' for somebody, thar was somebody gunnin' fo' you." "But there's no one 'gunning' for you now, is there, Uncle Eli?" asked the boy amusedly.
I reckon when you said it she got to seein' a picture of one of the young fellows gunnin' their uncle." "One of them. You just said James wasn't with her." "No, he come first. Maybe three-four minutes before the others." "What time did he reach the Paradox?" "It might 'a' been ten or maybe only five minutes after we left yore uncle's room.
He thinks he knows who shot me an' I've been lyin' somethin' scandalous. You see, if he learns then he'll go gunnin'. An', Miss Helen, thet Texan is bad. He might get plugged as I did an' there would be another man put off your side when the big trouble comes." "Roy, I promise you I will not tell Las Vegas," replied Helen, earnestly. "Wal, then it was Riggs!"
"I reckon they ain't expected to do much off o' dry land, and they can't help bein' queer on the water," returned the young girl with a reflecting sense of justice. "Then they ain't no call to go gunnin', and wastin' Guv'nment powder on ducks instead o' Injins." "Thet's so," said the girl thoughtfully.
