"That proves nothing against Hallock, Mac, as you will see when you cool down a little," he said. "I know it doesn't," wrathfully; "nothing proves anything any more. I suppose I've got to say it again: I'm all in, down and out." And he went away, growling to his hat-brim.
Certainly this was an amazing speech to issue from a sun-browned cowboy sitting cross-legged under a mesquite-tree. From under her hat-brim Alaire Austin eyed the speaker with a curiosity into which there had come a vague hostility. For the moment she was suspicious and piqued, but Law did not appear to notice, and as he talked on her doubts gradually subsided.
He pulled up short and then saluted the old gentleman with a stab of forefinger at his hat-brim. "Any trouble, Judge?" he inquired, affably. "None at all," replied the old gentleman, edging away from the fully garbed fence-post. "Airing 'em out, hey?" A jab of the forefinger toward the garments. "No, leaving them out." All at once the old gentleman appeared to remember something else.
The snow reflected a puzzling glimmer, but the darkness was thick among the trees, and drops from the shaking branches fell into his eyes. Turning his hat-brim down, he felt for the edge of the trail. By and by he stopped at the top of a descent.
As the girl sank down beside him, there was a look in his eyes that sent a strange thrill through her and caused her hands to tremble, sending a little stream of water trickling over the soggy hat-brim to the ground.

She had on a pretty walking dress which he had not seen before, and a hat with the rim struck sharply upward behind, and her masses of dense, dull black hair pulled up and fastened somewhere on the top of her head. Her eyes shyly sparkled under the abrupt descent of the hat-brim over her forehead.
You were singing the same song on the same spot when I passed here six months ago." "Eh, Sergeant Tom, it is you? What brings you so far from your straw-bed at Fort Desire?" From underneath his hat-brim Pierre scanned the face of the trooper closely. "Business. Not to smile on virtue, but to collar what is wrong.
