"The which?" Big Medicine whirled upon him, rubbing his left eye into a terrifying, bloodshot condition while he glared with the other. "The Soul of Littlefoot Law," Luck repeated distinctly with a perfect neutrality of manner. "'S that what you call all that ridin' and shootin' we done, that you said was by moonlight?"
Luck gathered, however, that he meant to sue the Acme Company for about nine million dollars damages to his feelings and his reputation, if The Soul of Littlefoot Law was released in its present form. He battered at Luck's grinning composure with his full supply of invectives.
Pink inquired pugnaciously for a young man who had died the death four different times that day. "That's what it's called," Luck averred with firmness. "Aw where does Soul of Littlefoot Law come in at?" Happy Jack scoffed. "It doesn't, so far as I know." "Aw, there ain't no sense in such a name as that.

The Soul of Littlefoot Law remained as great a mystery when the picture was finished as it had been at the start. Littlefoot Law, by the way, was Pink. That much the audience discovered, and no more; for as to his soul, he did not seem to own one.
