"Ef ye dies Bud Sellers belongs ter me ter kill an' I won't nowise fail." But at that the wounded man raised a deter rent hand shaken with palsied anxiety. "No no!" he gasped. "Thet's ther sperit I've done sought ter combat all my life ther shot from ther la'rel ther lay-wayin' of enemies. I couldn't rest easy ef ye denied me that pledge."

I wouldn't be none astonished ef ye hired ther man thet shot him ... an' yit I'd nigh cut my tongue afore I'd drap a hint of thet ter him." That last statement both amazed and gratified the intriguer.
