Our boys always did go in for amateur theatricals pretty strongly, and the way our most talented members abused the English language that night when they welcomed the Reverend Pubby was as good as a book. "Proud ter meet you," roared Allie Bangs, our president, taking off his hat and making a low bow. "Set right in and enjoy yourself. White chips is a dime, limit is a dollar and no gunplay goes."
"They ain't any poor fool dude can call me a fellow!" he shouted. The crowd blinked; but when it opened its eyes the gunplay had not occurred. The hand of Andy was relaxing from the butt of his gun and an expression of astonishment and contempt was growing upon his face. "I haven't come to curse you," said the rider, still occupying his hands with crop and reins.
Be in the saddle, and the minute you see us come down that trail out of Sour Creek, be ready to feed your hoss the spur and join us, because when we come, we'll come fast. Don't make no mistake. If you ride too slow we'll have to ride slow, too, and slow ridin' means gunplay on both sides, and gunplay means dead men, because the evenin' is a pile worse nor the dark for fooling a man's aim.
"Well, they'll sweat for this, and you, too, Rogers!" said Quincy. "Shut up! You're up against something now that gunplay doesn't figure in. You're aboard a Yankee hell ship, and you've got to make the best of it." "I wouldn't if I had my gun," said Quincy, moodily. "Yes," added Benson, "with a gun I could have my own way."
Thinks he can match your gunplay itchin' for trouble bound to have it out with you. We was at the Cache last night, an' I heard him an' Deveny yappin' about it. Deveny's back of him he's sore about the way you handed it to him in Lamo. Keep your eyes peeled; they're pullin' it off pretty soon. Latimer's doin' the shootin' he's tryin' to work himself up to it. Be careful." "I'm thankin' you."
Not to bring him outdoors and shoot him down in a sudden gunplay, nor to take advantage of him through a surprise as a good many men would have been tempted to do, my friends, for the sheriff has a wide reputation as a handler of guns of all sorts. No, sir, he sent for me also, and he told us frankly that the bad blood between him and the sheriff must be spent. You understand?
He SWEARS not, but I don't believe him. He explains that gunplay gravitates to men who are the real thing that it is provoked by the four-flushes, the bad men. I don't know. All I know is that somebody is being killed every other day. He hated Spence before Spence ever saw me." "Would Bland object if I called on you occasionally?" inquired Duane. "No, he wouldn't. He likes me to have friends.
Another, a cowboy who evidently had just left the gaming-table, leaned down and pulled open Bain's shirt. He had the ace of spades in his hand. He laid it on Bain's breast, and the black figure on the card covered the two bullet-holes just over Bain's heart. Duane wheeled and hurried away. He heard another man say: "Reckon Cal got what he deserved. Buck Duane's first gunplay.
He advanced close to the selectman, waggling admonitory forefinger. "I've been excusing your feelings. I don't blame you! This is tough. It's the penalty you pay for living in such a town. But I don't propose to stand for any more of that gunplay. Hand it over!" Grant hesitated. The officer snatched away the gun, broke it down, and pulled out the undischarged shell.
We'll have to chance recognition; but at least there's no difference in the suits we're wearing, and we'll clasp our glasses on all the way to the lock, for surely Dr. Ku has to use some similar device. Keep your faces averted as much as you can though, when near, and your rayguns in your belts. If there's to be gunplay, leave the first shot to me.
