You've got a lot o' sense, Jinny, an' if you think he's tellin' the truth, why, it goes; but it's as big a mixup as a lariat in a steer's horns. You've got to hide him sure, whoever he is, for I wouldn't hand an Eskimo over, if I'd taken him in my home once; we're mountain people. A man ought to be hung for horse-stealin', but this was different.
As I threw the quirt into the mare with my good arm, I allowed I'd had about all the horse-stealin' I wanted for a while. The old devil finally saw he was losin' ground in spite of his best efforts, and let me have both barrels.

'I'll teach ye to come down a laddher as if ye was in a quadhrille, ye horse-stealin', ham-sthringin' May-o man, he says. But he didn't. Clancy wint over to see his wife. 'O Mike, says she, ''twas fine, she says. 'But why d'ye take th' risk? she says. 'Did ye see th' captain? he says with a scowl. 'He wanted to go. Did ye think I'd follow a Kerry man with all th' ward lukkin' on? he says.
That an' the unjust hangin' of my poor, simple ould grandfather for horse-stearin' that is, for suspicion of horse-stealin' is the only two misfortunes, thank God, that has been in our family of late days." So much for the character of worthy Mogue, whom we must now permit to resume the delivery of his message.

You ain't no friend o' his'n and you ain't yur fur no good-you bet! Now you jest 'sling your swag an' bolt back to heaven, or I'm hanged ef I don't have suthin' worse'n horse-stealin' to answer fur, this time." And he took a step forward. At this point I interfered. A Bit of Chivalry.
He's young but they never was a old man with half his crimes. He's wanted for a good many things in different places, but I went after him for horse-stealin' and murder. Killed a rancher and his little daughter, then set fire to the house and ran off a bunch o' stock." "Oh! Oh! How dreadful!" shuddered the girls, backin' off with horrified glances at me.
The leaders jumped over "the Innocent Bystander" before he had time to use his pickhandle, reared and fell on their backs, where they lay kicking the harness to pieces. "You miser'ble horse-stealin', petty larceny, cache-robbin' " just in time Teeters remembered that there were ladies present and curtailed his greeting to Hughie Disston. "Why didn't you let me know you was comin'?" he ended.
I don't s'pose a man that's committed murder 'll ever have any peace in this world, nor in the next nuther, without he repents; but ye see this horse-stealin' business is different. 'Tain't murder to kill a hoss-thief, any way you can fix it; everybody admits that. A feller that's caught horse-stealin' had ought to be shot; and he will be, too, I tell you, in this country!"
