He looked up as he spoke, and his face was for the moment as pure as the face of a child Donnegan, the thief, the beggar, the liar by gift, and the man-killer by trade and artistry. But Lord Nick in the meantime was looking down to the floor and mustering his thoughts. "The main thing is entirely simple," he said. "You'll make one concession to my pride, Garry, boy?"
"I begged him to give up the office and let things go," said Rhetta, pleading to mitigate her own blame, against whom no blame was laid. "You'd have despised him for it if he had," said Violet. "But he wouldn't do it, and now this has happened, and he's a man-killer like the rest of them. Oh it's terrible to think about!" "Not like the rest of them," Violet corrected, in her firm, gentle way.
During my stays at home I thoroughly familiarized myself with the villa, its outbuildings and all their inhabitants. Also I put a good deal of time on Selinus, whom I transformed from an insane man-killer into one of the gentlest stallions I ever heard of.
"Don't make me a present of a photograph of this awful place. It's photographed on my brain now, and burned in and baked there. If we ever get through with the Man-killer, and get our money, I never want to see this spot again." "I'm not thinking at all of the money," Reade retorted lightly yet seriously. "I don't care about the money at present.
'Thirty-eight on a forty-five frame, replied the man, thinking that the only interest the President had was that of a comrade who wanted to know with what kind of a tool the trick was done.

The California Grizzly made his reputation as a man-killer in the days of the muzzle-loading rifle, when failure to stop him with one shot deprived the hunter of all advantage in respect of weapons and reversed their positions instantly, the bear becoming the hunter and the man the game.
"We can tell that better after the track has held loads of from five to eight hundred tons," Harry rejoined. "I believe, however, that we have the tricks of the savage old Man-killer nailed." Exultation throbbed in Harry's heart. Outwardly, he did not trust himself to reveal his great delight. He still followed, watching anxiously, until the train had passed safely over the Man-killer.
Returning the pipe, the man replied: 'Oh, the chieftain and his chosen men have had counsel together. They have agreed it is not safe to allow a man-killer loose in our midst. He who kills one of our tribe is an enemy, and must suffer the fate of a foe. "My temples throbbed like a pair of hearts! "While I listened, a crier passed by my father's tepee. Give ear, all you people.
Weary looked and wilted against the wall. "Oh, Mamma!" he gasped. "Ain't she a peach? There'll be more than one pair uh hands go into the air to-night. It's a good thing Len got the drop on me first or I'd be making seven kinds of a fool uh myself, chances is. Bert says she's bad medicine a man-killer from away back. "Say, she's giving us the bad-eye.
There was a weak link in the chain. Ruiz Gregorio's child-like plot turned upon one pivot of hazard hazard most likely to be ignored by so good a marksman as the "man-killer."
