Belle seized Tag by his right arm, hanging on frantically. But Dick, reaching the spot, laid hands on the shotgun. "Let go, Laura," he commanded sternly. "I have hold of this gun." It was the tone of the high school boy, not her own fear, that made Laura Bentley obey. "Let go of his arm, Belle," Dick insisted. "You girls get back out of harm's way." "I won't let go," Belle insisted.
Above the tumult of the coming storm and the tossing tree-tops, he raised his voice. "You wait!" he shouted. "I'll get you yet! Next time, I'll bring a gun." Next time was the next morning.

I thought I remembered where I had seen that gun, and when Buck came up I handed it to him. "Here's your shotgun," I said. "It's the one you shot the geese with back toward the Mississippi." "Good goose gun," said he. "Thank you for keeping it for me. I see you have caught me out getting acquainted with Iowa customs. If you had needed any help that night, you'd have got it."
A generation ago, when Medicine Bend for one winter was the terminus of the overland railroad, vigilantes mercilessly cleaned out the town, and the few outlaws that escaped the shotgun and the noose at Medicine Bend found refuge in a far-away and unknown mountain gorge once named by French trappers the Cache.
One day Slade came into the general store near the station, and the Frenchman, who had seen a good opportunity for ambush here, fired both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun into his body at a range of about fifty feet. Slade took to his bed. But he was made of the stuff which absorbs much lead without any great amount of permanent harm. He was up again in a few weeks.
