But you was figurin' on pluggin' me." He walked close to the man and stuck his face close to the other, his lips in a straight line. He knew Colton to be one of the most conscienceless "killers" in the section of the country near Tombstone. "Who was you lookin' for, then?" demanded Sanderson. "Not you that's a cinch!" grinned the other, fidgeting nervously under Sanderson's gaze.
Dale heard the girl fumbling at the fastenings of the door, and he knew that his imitation of Sanderson's voice had deceived her. "Word that Ben was hurt," he lied. "The east train hit him as it was pullin' in. He's bad off, but the doc says he'll come around if he gets good nursin', an' that's why I've come "
Jasper Penny fastened the elaborate frogs of his heavily furred overcoat over his injured arm, and with a florid bandanna wiped the cinders from his silk hat. The coaches rolled into the station shed, where he changed, taking a swaying Mulberry Street omnibus to Fourth, and Sanderson's Hotel.
Hastily thrusting back the buckle and the parchment into my pocket, I scrambled to my feet and stood facing him. Even as I did so, all Mr. Sanderson's warnings came flashing into my mind. "For full a minute we stood confronting each other without a word.
Sanderson's last shot had hit it exactly behind the shoulder; but the first right and left had missed when the tiger charged down the line, exemplifying the difficulty of shooting accurately with an elephant moving in high excitement. We now loaded an elephant with this grand beast and started it off to camp, where Lady Baker had already received two leopards.

When he picked up his hand again Florinda's chair was tilted perilously. She saw another seven added to the little pair. Sanderson's draw had not assisted him. "Same to the dealer," said Grief. "What you got, Wrink?"
Sanderson leaned closer to the man and spoke sharply to him. "Look here, Dale; you were at the Double A. What has become of Mary Bransford?" "She went away with Barney Owen to Okar. Nobody hurt her," he said, as he saw Sanderson's eyes glow. "She's all right she's with her brother."
A little later, Barney Owen, passing close to the kitchen window having seen the men caring for Sanderson's horse, and learning from them that Sanderson had come in early after having apparently been out all night heard Sanderson's voice issuing from the kitchen: "There's a difference in kisses; them that you gave me when you thought I was your brother wasn't half so thrillin' as "
He saw Sanderson's eyes; they were filled with an expression of incredulity; and a late moon, just showing its rim above the edge of the mesa above them, flooded the slope with a brilliancy that made it possible for Dale to see another expression in Sanderson's eyes an expression which told him that Sanderson thought his mind was wandering. He laughed, weakly. "You think I'm loco, eh?
The Master took three deliberate sips of port wine. "I think, Stewart, we are discussing matters we know very little about," he said, in a particularly high, dry voice; and every one felt that the discussion was closed. Then he turned to Sanderson and made some remark about a house which Sanderson's College, of which he was junior bursar, was selling to Durham.
