In these final hours it had required all his weakened will to hide his fears and keep his tongue between his teeth. Now, like a man clinging by his finger tips to some small crevice in a cliff, he suddenly gave up. As he relaxed his grip he whispered with the last faint remnant of his strength: "I own up I set the gun I I " Teeters slipped an arm about his shoulders and raised him up.
"Oh yes but come to think of it, I don't think Olaf said what the Wise Men call these birds. One was a bob-tailed Rail one was a Snipe with far-back eyes and a finger-beak like a Woodcock's one was a Spotted Sandpiper that teeters and whistles 'tweet-weet' and the other was a tiny little Sandpiper with a very sad cry. Now do you know them?"
"One of Kate's sheep wagons was blowed up a few nights ago, and there's a story circulatin' that somebody's goin' to shoot up the Outfit." Disston's face wore a frown of concentration. "Teeters," in sudden decision, "I'm going up to see her. She may need us." "But isn't it dangerous?" Mrs. Rathburn protested.
The more Teeters had thought of Mormon Joe's assertion that, outside of stock, the chief asset of the country was its climate and its scenery, the more he had come to believe that Joe's advice to turn the Scissor outfit into a place for eastern tourists was valuable.

Yet as he rode towards the mountains with his eyes fixed upon the low pass to which Teeters had directed him, he experienced the first real thrill of carefree happiness that had come to him since his arrival. The trail was a long and a hard one. His horse lost a shoe and limped badly, so, as the day waned, he walked frequently to spare the animal. He was tired, but too eager to be conscious of it.
