"Then don't trouble yourself any further," I said, heartily, "for I'd rather drink from a tin cup than a goblet of pure gold." "And so'd I," said the old man, reflectively, turning mechanically, and following me down the path.
The man continued his limber flight, and they jumped down and followed, firing. They heard a yell on the plain above, and an answer to it, and then confused yells above and below, gathering all the while. The figure ran on above the river trail below the bank, and their bullets whizzed after it. "Indian!" asserted Balwin, panting. "Ran away, though," said Powell. "So'd you run.
"So'd I," boasted Barney, "but that ain't sayin' I learned t' like the song." "What I'm figurin' out now," said Casey, "is how to get up there an' AT 'am. An' how we kin do it without him seein' us. Goin' t' be kinda ticklish but it ain't the first ticklish job Casey Ryan ever tackled." "It can't be did," Barney stated flatly. "An' if it could be did, I wouldn't do it.
"Didje think we'd send the Chink?" "I was first cousin to a Yaqui jackass for sendin' young Billy Ellis out. He'll be back in a week. He'd do." "So'd the President," the Senor pointed out; "I hear he's had some experience." "I hate to have you to go," objected Jed. "There's the missis." He shot a glance sideways at his chief.

My father looked right enough at first just as if he was restin' but after they'd had him opened he looked as if he'd been hurt. No one else could see it, but I could. How old was Arvie?" "Eleven." "I'm twelve goin' on for thirteen. Arvie's father's dead, ain't he?" "Yes." "So's mine. Died at his work, didn't he?" "Yes." "So'd mine. Arvie told me his father died of something with his heart!"
The sheriff became silent again. "When a man goes to hidin' out," he observed after a long pause, "he 'most always hits for the country he knows. Seems like it's human nature. I'd do it myself, and so'd you. Seems like a man that's wanted is suspicious of strange ground. He don't know what's in it, and he's afraid of gettin' cornered. He don't know what he's goin' to run up against any mile.
"Doan you git so bumptious all ter oncet," said Aun' Jinkey. "Does you 'spect de hull top's gwine ter be tu'ned right ober down'erds in er day? But dar! you ain' no 'sper'ience.
