In the second place the transfer for the nominal sum of ten dollars proves collusion to perpetrate a fraud. And in the third place " "You're a liar!" broke in Rimrock, his breast heaving with anger, "he's as much a citizen as you are. He's been registered in Gunsight for twenty years and his vote has never been challenged."
"All right," said Rimrock and looked at her strangely, "I'll tell you what you can do. In the first place I want you to go back to Gunsight and stay there until I come back. And in the second place well, I can't forget what I did that day. I want you to say it's all right." "It is all right," she answered quickly, "I guess that's what I came to say.
"I did!" defended Rimrock. "I told Jepson so yesterday. I used those very same words!" "Yes, but with another implication. You let it be understood that the reason it was good was that you were there, with your gun!" "Stop right there!" commanded Rimrock. "That's the last, ultimate reason that holds in a court of law! The code is nothing, the Federal law is nothing, even treaties are nothing!
So with money and friends there came little happiness, either for Rimrock or yet for her. They looked at each other across a chasm of differences where any chance word might offend. He had alluded at one time to the fact that she was deaf and she had avoided his presence for days. And she had a way, when his breath smelled of drink, of drawing her head away.
There was a moment of confusion and then, as McBain turned to run, the bang of Rimrock's gun. Andrew McBain went down, falling forward on his face, and as Rimrock whirled on the startled gunmen they shot blindly and broke for cover. The fight had got beyond them, their hearts were not in it and they knew that McBain was dead.
But that cynical attitude that you chose to affect when you came to see me before that calm way of saying that you couldn't trust anybody, not even the person addressed that won't get you very far, where a woman is concerned. That is, not very far with me." She looked him over with a masterful smile and Rimrock began to fumble his hat.
You're nothing but a bum and you're getting worse why don't you go and put up that gun?" "I don't have to!" retorted Rimrock but he moved up closer and there was a wheedling turn to his voice. "Just two thousand dollars, Lon that's all I ask of you and I'll give you a share in my mine. Didn't I come to you first, when I discovered the Gunsight, and give you the very best claim?
Navajoa went down to eighteen and sixteen and then it jumped back to twenty. Big buying developed, but still Rimrock sold short and again Navajoa slumped. At the end of the day it stood at twenty and he prepared for the next step in his campaign. He had beaten Navajoa down to nearly half its former price and without parting with a single share.
It happened as in a play, the swift entrance of the hero, a swifter glance, and the woman smiled. At sight of that tiger-skin coat Rimrock stopped dead in his tracks and Jepson saw his chance to escape. "Mr. Jones," he beckoned frantically, "let me introduce you to Mrs. Hardesty. Excuse me!" And he slipped away. There were explanations later, in the privacy of the Jepson apartments, but Mr.
In most matters at the mine I think you're entitled to have your way. But if you elect me as a Director in this coming stockholders' meeting and this question comes before the Board, unless you can make me see it differently I'm likely to vote against you." Rimrock shoved his big hat to the back of his head and stood gazing at her fixedly.
