I'd 'a' bet my best mule team against a dollar Mex that you'd have gunned him on sight." "I'll tell you why, Reb. He had one rifle an' one six-gun. I didn't have either the one or the other, so I had to borrow his guns before I talked turkey. By that time I'd changed my mind about bumpin' him off right now. When Yankie finds out what he's been sayin' he'll do the trick for me."
You told me so in your letter." "My word didn't count with the jury. I'd have to claim that, anyhow, to save my life. My notion is that the bullet didn't come from a six-gun at all, but from a seventy-three rifle. But I can't prove that either." "It isn't fair. It it's an outrage." Polly burst into tears and took the slim young fellow into her arms. "They ought to know you wouldn't do that.
It ought no longer to be a recommendation to a man that he could bend a six-gun surer and quicker than other folks. "Movers" in white-topped wagons were settling up the country. A railroad had pushed in to Live-Oaks. There was a lot of talk about Eastern capital becoming interested in irrigation and mining.
My friend here is a nervous man with a six-gun." Obediently Hiram dropped the mare's reins and stepped away from her head. Drummond laid the two revolvers at some distance away from them on the ground, so that, while he was searching Hiram, the latter would have no opportunity to grab one from him and turn the tables.
I carried with me a little grub, my six-gun, the famous black bag, and an entirely empty head. The night was only moderately dark, for while there was no moon there were plenty of those candle-like desert stars. The little twinkling lights of the Box Springs dropped astern like lamps on a shore.
He was beginning to feel a cruel pleasure in his victory, but it was not without a deep sense of danger. She had laid aside her six-gun, but she had not abandoned it. She had laid aside her anger, but she could resume it again as swiftly as she could take up her revolver.
Wingle, kneeling, examined the cowboy's six-gun. Corliss, in a burst of wrath, turned on Sundown. "Damn you, open your mouth. What do you know about this?" Sundown bit his nails and glowered at Corliss. "God A'mighty sent me " he began. With a swift gesture Corliss interrupted. "You're working for the Concho. Was he dead when you found him?"
I like to got heart failure there for a minute, till I seen you ease down and lay your hand in your lap." He looked at her and laughed a little. "I've got a bill of damages against several of the folks around here, but I ain't fool enough to try and collect with a six-gun." He settled himself to his task, writing at the top of the page the name of Aleck Douglas and after that "Dr."
Collie threw up his arms and lurched forward. Below in the cañon clattered the hoofs of the speeding horse. The rider, still holding his six-gun, muzzle up, glanced back. "I didn't care partic'lar about gettin' him, but gettin' the kid hits the red-head between the eyes. I guess I'm about even now."
Maybe you'd like to see him?" He opened the door and she stepped into the entrance. Almost opposite her sat old Joe Cumberland with his hands tied securely behind his back. At sight of her he rose with a low cry. She turned on big Silent and whipped the six-gun from his hip. He barely managed to grasp her wrist and swing the heavy revolver out of line with his body.
