McNamara went to his knees and sagged forward on to his face as though every bone in his huge bulk had turned to water, while his master reeled back against the opposite wall, his heels dragging in the litter, bringing up with outflung arms as though fearful of falling, swaying, blind, exhausted, his face blackened by the explosion of the revolver, yet grim with the light of victory.
Meanwhile, McNamara hired every idle man he could lay hand upon, and ripped the placers open with double shifts. Every day a stream of yellow dust poured into the bank and was locked in his vaults, while those mine-owners who attempted to witness the clean-ups were ejected from their claims.
It's not half so hard as to give up your property and lie still while " "Did you do that because I asked you to because I asked you to put aside the old ways?" A wave of compassion swept over her. "Certainly," he answered. "It didn't come easy, but " "Oh, I thank you," said she. "I know it is all for the best. Uncle Arthur wouldn't do anything wrong, and Mr. McNamara is an honorable man."
"There's no doubt of it!" he exclaimed. He turned to McNamara, the Governor. "His brain is just as sound as yours or mine. With the right environment, the right treatment, he'd be on the straight road to recovery. In a general way of speaking he has recovered now, largely, from the purely temporary trouble that he had before." McNamara focused an intent gaze first on Ben, then on the alienist.
"The negro wanted to bind me so that I couldn't give the alarm, but his chivalry prevented. He was a most gallant darky." "What did you do when they left?" "Why, I kept my word and waited until they were out of sight, then I roused the camp, and set Mr. McNamara and his men right after them down the gulch." "DOWN the gulch!" spoke Glenister, off his guard. "Yes, of course.
As Glenister drew near, he saw among them Wilton Struve, the lawyer, and the big, well-dressed tenderfoot of the Northern McNamara the man of the heavy hand. Struve straightway engaged him. "Say, Glenister, we've come out to see about the title to this claim." "What about it?" "Well, it was relocated about a month ago." He paused. "Yes. What of that?" "Galloway has commenced suit."
Two revolvers from Oleson and McNamara and one nicked razor from Adams completed the list of weapons we found. The crew submitted willingly. They seemed relieved to have some one to direct them, and the alacrity with which they obeyed my orders showed how they were suffering under the strain of inaction.

"I am not armed, but I have the right to leave here unmolested the right of an American citizen." With that he raised his arms above his head. "Out of my way!" he cried. Morehouse opened the gate, and McNamara strode through the mob.
"Miss Chester recognized us last night," he announced. "How do you know?" "She told me so just now, and, what's more, she sent McNamara and his crowd down the creek instead of up. That's why we got away so easily." "Well, well ain't she a brick? She's even with us now. By-the- way, I wonder how much we cleaned up, anyhow let's weigh it."
McNamara laid a large white and manicured hand upon the flannel sleeve of the miner and gently escorted him through the entrance to the sidewalk, while the crowd smiled. As they cleared the threshold, however, he clenched his fist without a word and, raising it, struck the sot fully and cruelly upon the jaw.
