Time and again he was swept back from reaching Tim Griggs, who was easily the center of this volcanic outburst of human passion. "Boys!" roared Tim. "We'll want to know these coyotes to-morrow. Black the left eye of each rascal. I'll black both of Jim Duff's." Two heavy, sodden impacts sounded during a brief pause in the noise, attesting to the fact that the gambler had been decorated.
A cloud of dust was sent swishing up, and in the midst of this fog, Diablo came to a pause as sudden as the beginning of his strange struggle against an imaginary foeman; but it seemed to Bull Hunter that the ground beneath his feet was still quivering from the impacts of that mighty body. "That's just his way of telling you what he'll do when you try to saddle him," chuckled the boy.
He then resolves to change his life, he turns determinedly on his steps, he faces the other way. The first result of the effort to turn his lower nature into the changed course, is much distress and disturbance. The habits formed under the impacts of the old views resist stubbornly the impulses flowing from the new, and a bitter conflict arises.
He clung to it for a moment, then went on, stalking toward the Idle Hour like grim vengeance! His guns sputtered red fire and bursts of black powder smoke. Hit time after time they could see the dust fly from his clothing as he staggered along under the dreadful impacts he kept going. It was glorious, terrible! Tip hid his eyes, with a despairing cry.
Of course it must be understood that, if it is attractive, the particles must, be so small that they hardly ever meet they would have to be infinitely small to never meet that, in fact, they meet so seldom, in comparison with the number of times their courses are turned through large angles by attraction, that the influence of these surely attractive collisions is preponderant over that of the comparatively very rare impacts from actual contact.
Since we are what we are by the impacts of those who surround us, those who surround themselves with the highest will be those who change into the highest. There are some men and some women in whose company we are Always at our best. While with them we cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere presence is elevation, purification, sanctity.
The cowpuncher hates the trot, for his ponies are not built for it, but the deep play of Satan's fetlock joints broke the hard impacts; his gait now was hardly more jarring than the flow of the single-foot in an ordinary animal. Black Bart, who had been running directly under the nose of the stallion, now skirted away in the lead.
Each bullet took effect, and Modoc staggered from the impacts, knees slumping to the ground. The traitor would never use that gun arm again. It dangled from his body, broken and useless. The others would have literally torn Modoc limb from limb had not the Texan ordered otherwise. "He doesn't deserve hangin'," he said, "so let him be. We've got work to do.
A few hundred chunks of raw metal could finish Pallastown... Were these just crazy, wild slobs whooping it up, or real crud provided with a purpose and reward? Either way, here was the eternal danger to any Belt settlement. Nelsen could have tried to reach an escape-exit into open space, but he helped with the injured while he waited for more impacts to come.
The sense of vision is a question of length of vibration, and not of multitude of impacts; but there's a kind of shock to the retina, a nasty giddy confusion just at the time, if the eyes are open. Keep 'em shut." "Shut," I said. "Good!" "And the next thing is, keep still. Don't begin to whack about. You may fetch something a nasty rap if you do.
