No effort would free him from that one dominant impression, and from the one answering idea that it had evoked the idea of revenge. He got up again, and put on his hat and walked rapidly forward a little way then turned without knowing why, and slowly walked back again "If I had only dressed a little smarter!" said the poor wretch, helplessly.
"This tells the story," he said, holding up the rope so that the farmer and his wife could see it. "This rope has been cut. The man has a knife." John Fox darted a malignant look at him, but said nothing. "You are smart, John Fox," Luke went on, "smarter than I thought. It must have cost you considerable trouble to cut the rope. Where is your knife?" John Fox did not reply.

"You are here because I ordered you to come with me; because if you hadn't I would have killed you back there in the shack, you red-handed murderer. Now listen, Hughes. I know what you are a cattle thief. You and Le Fevre belong to the same outfit, only he was the smarter of the two. I have spared your life for a purpose, and if you fail me now I 'll shoot you down as I would a dog.
I'll tell you what I've done, and what moved me to it. Smart as you are, the Church was smarter. It was the Church that sent you cruising through her servants, the doctors." "Clarence!"

"S'posin' I was to do that about everythin': then when Judge Prency, who's a square man an' a good deal smarter than I be, talks politics to me, I ought to be a Republican instead of a Jackson Democrat." "No," said the deacon, sharply, for he was a Jackson Democrat himself.
