It was certain that the manhunter was after him, but again, in scorn, he accepted the challenge and poured a stiff dram. "That's right," nodded the sheriff. "You got nothing on your shoulders. You can let yourself go, Vic. Sometimes I wish" he sighed "I wish I could do the same!" "The sneaky coyote," thought Gregg, "he's lurin' me on!" "Turned state's evidence!" maundered Lew Perkins.
"But I got somethin' important to tell you, Mr. Bonner. I think a trap is bein' set fer me by the desperadoes we're after. I guess I'm gittin' too hot on their trail. I had an ananymous letter to-day." "A what?" "Ananymous letter. Didn't you ever hear of one? This one was writ fer the express purpose of lurin' me into a trap. They want to git me out of the way. But I'll fool 'em.
"We saw him lift the woman into the saddle, and he was turning to follow her when Lurin caught him with the lasso." "Is this true; would you have gone with the woman?" asked the queen, sternly, her smile changing into an ominous frown. "It is true; but let me explain " "Enough; I will not hear another word.
He advanced onto the pen first and before I even glanced down into the deep where as I s'posed she set on a rock a combin' out her long golden hair, a singin' her lurin' and enchanted song, to distant mariners she had known, and to the one who wuz a showin' of her off, before I had time to even glance at her, the maid, I was dumbfounded and stood aghast, at the mighty change that came over my pardner's linement.
We may as well go this time in the clothes we wear, it will be time enough to put on the things we have bought when we start in earnest." Starting at sunrise, they rode for some distance through a fertile valley, and then crossed a sandy plain until they reached the little valley of Lurin, in which stand the ruins of Pachacamac.
Of course, the top of the long slippery descent to ruin is quite cheerful lookin', lit up with false lights, hollow mirth, false hopes and dreams lurin' the victims on and down. But he knowed how slippery it wuz, how impossible it wuz for ordinary men to stand up when they got to slidin' down.
"But how did you get here so soon?" inquired Don Nicholas, "other passengers who were on board the Columbia have not yet arrived." Paul related the story of his capture at Lurin and of his all night ride on mule back. The Dictator sent for the officer, who, thinking he was going to be rewarded for his cleverness, entered the reception room with a peacock strut that was admirable.
"I'll wait till you does so an' w'en you does so I'll say no, same ez I's already sayin' it to you in advance. Say, boy, you must have yore reasons fur the int'rust you is displayin' in dis matter." "Whutever 'tis 'taint got nothin' to do wid lurin' no money out of yore possession," said Jeff. His voice changed to one of deep gravity. "Brother Lovin', look yere at me."
As a matter of fact, I've always had Mirabelle sized up as a near-vamp who had worked up the act to boost sales and cinch her job. Anyway, I never knew of her lurin' her victims into anything more desperate than a red-ink table d'hôte dinner or a six-dollar orgie at a cabaret.
Toward evening, with parched throats and weary bodies they reached an oasis in the shape of a poor village.

Being refreshed, they proceeded to the town of Lurin, where they arrived late at night and found the place occupied by Peruvian troops.
