But I knowed that if I showed the white feather, if I let him see me shake, he'd be out of his chair and on top of me. No gun he don't need nothin' but his hands and what was in front of my eyes was a death like like Jim Silent's!" He squinted his eyes close and groaned. Once more he roused himself.
"Which no fool girl c'n take that feller off the trail. Nothin' but lead can do that." "I tell you," said Haines, "the boy's in love with her. I watched them at Morgan's place. She can twist him around her finger." A faint light broke the gloom of Silent's face. "Yaller hair an' blue eyes. They c'n do a lot. Maybe you're right. What's that?" His voice had gone suddenly husky.
On the 24th April the Advocate addressed a frank, dignified, and conciliatory letter to the Prince. The rapid progress of calumny against him had at last alarmed even his steadfast soul, and he thought it best to make a last appeal to the justice and to the clear intellect of William the Silent's son.
"What have I been doing?" he murmured at length. He shrugged away his last thoughts. "I drifted about for a while after the pardon came down from the governor. People knew me, you see, and what they knew about me didn't please them. Even today Jim Silent and Jim Silent's crew isn't forgotten.
"Kate," said old Joe in a tremulous voice, "if I was a prayin' man I'd git down on my knees an' thank God for deliverin' you tonight." "Thank Buck Daniels, who's left his life in pawn for us.

"What about Barry?" asked Haines, but Jordan still kept his eyes upon the chief. "They was sayin' pretty general," he went on, "that you needed that chair, Jim. Is that right?" The other three glanced covertly to each other. Silent's hand bunched into a great fist.
During the interval we lie at the mercy of an informer. Your own people you know, and can trust to the last gossoon, I'm told. But the same cannot be said of this gentleman who has very fixed ideas and his servant. Our lives and the lives of others are in their hands, and it is of the last importance that they be kept secure and silent." "Ay, silent's the word," Cammock growled.
Silent's whistle called in Terry Jordan and Shorty Rhinehart a sharp order forced Kate to climb into her saddle and the train robbers struck up the hillside at a racing pace. A confused shouting rose behind them. Rifles commenced to crack where some of the passengers had taken up the weapons of the dead guards, but the bullets flew wide, and the little troop was soon safely out of range.
All of 'em. But how'd you answer to Jim Silent, Rogers? If you let 'em get Haines well, Haines is Silent's partner an' Jim'll bust everything wide to get even with you." "I c'n explain," said Rogers huskily. "I c'n show Silent how I'm helpless." Footsteps went up and down the room.
