At this stage the Sheriff of Manzaneta County took a hand in the proceedings, and drawled out: "Well, gentlemen " He stopped short and seemingly became reflective. Instantly, as was their wont whenever the Sheriff spoke, all eyes fixed themselves upon him. Indeed, it needed but a second glance at this cool, deliberate individual to see how great was his influence upon them.
Without a word the Girl took down a bottle and poured it out for him while he stood quietly looking on, grinning from ear to ear. For Rance's weakness was known to him as it was to every other man in Manzaneta County, and he believed that the Sheriff had taken advantage of his absence to press his hopeless suit. "Here you be!" sang out the Girl, and passed the glass over to him.
Two notices tacked upon the wall also caught and held his glance, his eyes dwelling most affectionately on the one reading: "A Real Home For The Boys." That there was such a thing as sentiment in the make-up of the Sheriff of Manzaneta County few people, perhaps, would have believed.
"Yes," chimed in Trinidad; and then as he gave the Australian a rough shake, he added: "Here's the Sheriff to take charge of you." But Mr. Jack Rance, the Sheriff of Manzaneta County, was never known to move otherwise than slowly, deliberately.

The Sheriff of Manzaneta County, for such was the newcomer's office, raised his steely grey eyes inquisitorially to Nick's who, with a hostile stare at the Australian, emitted: "Chicken lifter!" "String 'im! String 'im!" insisted Trinidad, at the same time dragging the culprit towards the door. "No, boys, no!" cried the unfortunate wretch, struggling uselessly to break away from his captors.
Inside The Polka, not a bit more, and not a bit less sardonic it was this imperturbability which made him so resistless to most people than he was prior to the banishment of The Sidney Duck, the Sheriff of Manzaneta County waited patiently until the returning puppets of his will had had time to compose themselves.
