"What 'n the h l now, Sears?" demanded Bostil. "I'll bore you if you move thet's what!" replied Sears. His eyes, bold, steely, with a glint that Bostil knew, vibrated as he held in sight all points before him. A vicious little sand-rattlesnake about to strike! "Holley, turn yer back!" ordered Sears. The old rider, who stood foremost of the group' instantly obeyed, with hands up.
"Oh, now," interrupted Bob, "at two dollars Mex per day I'd have given good value." "Mebbe," retorted the marshal, "but these gentlemen hev come here on particular business and they came like gentlemen. The officials o' this city hev give their word that there shouldn't be no interferin' with their plans. And thet's what you're a-doin'. Now git!" Ned broke in: "One moment, Mr. Marshall"
This woman, here, she's ez sweet a creetur's ever I see; 'n' ez bound up 'n thet baby's yer could ask enny woman to be; 'n' 's fur thet man, can't yer see, Jeff, he jest worships the ground she walks on? Thet's a fact, Jeff. I donno's ever I see a white man think so much uv a woman; come, naow, Jeff, d' yer think yer ever did yerself?" Aunt Ri was excited.
"After supper I show you a little schooner I make, with all her ropes. So we shall learn." "Fust-class fer a passenger," said Dan. "Dad he's jest allowed you'll be wuth your salt maybe 'fore you're draownded. Thet's a heap fer Dad. I'll learn you more our next watch together." "Taller!" grunted Disko, peering through the fog as it smoked over the bows.
Jerry's engaging face grew vengefully dark as he turned toward Brent and spoke apprehensively. "Ther place stinks with burnt gun-powder! Does ye reckon she showed fight and they hurt her? Afore God, men, ef thet's true, I aims ter do some killin' my own self I hain't nuver seed her but oncet but I aims ter wed with thet gal!"
"How's thet?" demanded Halloway shortly, and his informant went on. "When thet message come from ther town marshal at Coal City, he warned us 'Violent man take no chances. Thet's why we fell on ye so severe an' tied ye up so tight."
Thet's what gave him the name Hell-Bent.... An' Coles swore thet Wade was the whitest man he ever knew. Heart of gold, he said. Always savin' somebody, helpin' somebody, givin' his money or time never thinkin' of himself a-tall.... When he began to tell thet story about Cripple Creek then my ole head begun to ache with rememberin'. Fer I'd heerd Bent Wade talk before.
"But, pard, thet's no square deal," protested Old Miles. "I'm a- gittin' mad. I seen you meant to keep it all." The dark-faced ruffian shoved a menacing fist under Sandy's nose. "When do I git mine?" he demanded. Fresno wheeled and called, "Frank, you come here!" The other approached sullenly. "Fresno, thet Sandy is whole hog or none!" he exclaimed. "Let 'em fight it out," replied Fresno.
Then he stalked off through the crowd as if he knew that men who slunk from facing him would not have nerve enough to attack him even from behind. "Wal, damn me!" ejaculated the little cattleman in mingled admiration and satisfaction. "So thet's that Texas Ranger, Steele, hey? Never seen him before. All Texas, thet Ranger!"
I allow 't must be like bein' dead, Jos, don't yer think so, to be livin' thar? He sed ther couldn't nobody git to 'em. Nobody ever seed the place but hisself. He found it a huntin'. Thar's water thar, 'n' thet's abaout all thar is, fur's I cud make aout; I allow we shan't never see her agin." The horses and the wagon were indeed a godsend to Jos.
