He knelt down and examined him. When he rose it was with a very grave face. "He is dead," he said quietly. McWilliams, who had been bending over Chalkeye, looked up. "Here, too. Any one of the shots would have finished him." Bannister nodded. "Yes. That first exchange killed them both." He looked down at the limp body of his cousin, but a minute before so full of supple, virile life.
I judge it was about a couple of weeks or so after this that I dropped old Sandy McWilliams a note one day it was a Tuesday and asked him to come over and take his manna and quails with me next day; and the first thing he did when he stepped in was to twinkle his eye in a sly way, and say, "Well, Cap, what you done with your wings?"
Among them, two Magenisses were dubbed knights; Murrough O'Brien, of North Munster, was made Earl of Thomond and Baron of Inchiquin; De Burgo, or McWilliams, was created Earl of Clanricard, and a host of others submitted in like manner, and received the new titles which henceforth became conspicuous in Irish history. This was the beginning of the gradual suppression of the clans.
His hate's kind of volcanic, Mr. Ned Bannister's is, and it's bound to bubble over mighty sudden one of these days," said the younger of the two, rising and stretching himself. "It did bubble over some when he drove two thousand of my sheep over the bluff and killed the whole outfit," suggested the namesake of the man mentioned. "Yes, I reckon that's some irritating," agreed McWilliams.
I got up every twenty minutes and renewed ours, and this gave Mrs. McWilliams the opportunity to shorten the times of giving the medicines by ten minutes, which was a great satisfaction to her. Now and then, between times, I reorganized the flax-seed poultices, and applied sinapisms and other sorts of blisters where unoccupied places could be found upon the child.
I did it; and collided with the rug again, which I threw in the fire. Mrs. McWilliams sprang out of bed and rescued it and we had some words. I had another trifling interval of sleep, and then got up, by request, and constructed a flax-seed poultice. This was placed upon the child's breast and left there to do its healing work. A wood-fire is not a permanent thing.
"What's that?" The outlaw broke off the snatch of opera he was singing to slew his head round at McWilliams. "I said two. Any objections, seh?" "Yes. That wasn't in the contract." "We're giving y'u surplusage, that's all. Y'u wanted one of us, and y'u get two. We don't charge anything for the extra weight," grinned Mac. "Oh, Mac, will you go with him?" cried Helen, with shining eyes.
Yes, sir, and when I had slept nine years with burglars, and maintained an expensive burglar alarm the whole time, for their protection, not mine, and at my sole cost for not a d -d cent could I ever get THEM to contribute I just said to Mrs. McWilliams that I had had enough of that kind of pie; so with her full consent I took the whole thing out and traded it off for a dog, and shot the dog.
"Nor McWilliams. I'd admire to include him," murmured Denver. That sunburned, nonchalant youth laughed musically. "Sure thing. I'd hate to be left out. The only difference is " "Well?" His roving eye circled blandly round. "I stand about one show in a million. Y'u roughnecks are dead ones already."
And game why, Ned Bannister ain't gamer himself." McWilliams had climbed lazily to the top board of the fence. He was an energetic youth, but he liked to do his thinking at his ease. Now, as his gaze still followed its lodestar, he suddenly slipped from his seat and ran forward, pulling the revolver from its scabbard as he ran.
