"Ther's features in the game carry a parallel to that play, and I guess they point the fact that the fellers of that gang who got away at their round-up have got around this region now, and figure to carry on the same play right here. You'll get that, Bud sure." Bud nodded. "Well, it's up to us," Jeff went on, as though the other's agreement had left his course of action clear.
"Ther's things broke inside me, Nan," he said, in a voice that was growing stronger. "A rib, I guess. Maybe it's my shoulder. The others guess they're just nothing. Now tell me the things I asked. How did you happen to git around? Start that way." A sense of relief helped the girl. He had given her an opportunity which she seized upon. "Oh, Jeff, it was just thanks to Evie.
Jest look at it. Say, can't you fellers see, or are you blind? She ain't blind. She can see. She's seen wot's ther'. It's a death's head. Gold? Gee, I tell you it's a death's head! Look at them eye-sockets," he cried, pointing at the curious moulding of the nugget. "Ther's the nose bones, an' the jaw. Look at them teeth, too, all gold-filled, same as if a dentist had done 'em."
Then, as only a flicker of a smile from the others answered him, and Bill ignored his charge altogether, he hurried on, "You're helpin' that misguided feller to a dose of lead he'll never have time to digest. If ever Zip runs foul of James, he'll blow him to hell as sure as ther's allus work for those as don't need it.

"I was built for, an' raised in a fifth rate city, an' I got the ideas an' ambitions of the President of a Republic. Ther' ain't a blamed thing I can't do but I want to do.
"Now, you see, Tresler," he said huskily, for his voice was tired with sustained effort. "You're the remarkablest smart 'tenderfoot' that ever I see. Say, you're a right smart daddy an' I ain't given to latherin' soap-suds neither. But ther's suthin's I calc'late that no 'tenderfoot, smart as he may be, is goin' to locate right.

She struggled to free herself, but her strength was as the strength of a babe to his, and in a moment she was caught in his arms and hugged to his breast.
The determined grip of the colonel's hand interrupted the communication which Weasel attempted to make, and the colonel hastily remarked: "Ther's a feller gone for him that's sure to fetch him back." "Who who is it?" asked the young lady, hesitatingly.
Ther's fellers with minds like sinks, an' others with natures like rattlers. Neither of them things is as wholesome as a Sunday-school, I allow. Jeff ain't yearnin' to explore no sinks, human or any other. An' I've generally noticed his favorite pastime is killin' rattlers. So it's jest about the only thing to do quit this saloon, same as I'm goin' to do.
