"Wyatt did exactly what he told me he was going to do carried off Marshall's trigger-finger. But the bullet did what he had not intended it should ran up the arm and smashed it above the elbow, and the doctor says that he thinks the arm will have to come off." A shout of satisfaction rose from the group, and Wilmington grasped Frank's hand as he leapt down.
"I bin waitin' for him, an' I'll git him ef it takes all winter. I'll get him plumb." The speaker smoothed the barrel of his rifle with mittened hand, which had, however, a trigger-finger free. With black eyebrows twitching over sunken gray eyes, he looked doggedly down the frosty valley from the ledge of high rock where he sat.

A cold-blooded murderer, with an appalling record; and a man with a temper like smoking tow, an itching trigger-finger, the eye of a duck-hawk, and cat-like swiftness of movement, he tyrannized the town when the humor was on him; and as yet no counter-bully had come to chase him into oblivion.

The Apache halted at the gesture and Schiefflin followed his gaze in time to see the lean brown arm of the sentinel sweep forward.

I am well aware that the Southern trigger-finger is none too steady, where lovely woman is concerned," he admitted, with a faint sneer. "But when one plays for high stakes, Miss Eustis, one runs the risks. Granted I do get shot?

His head had fallen back quite easily on the pillow now; but a slight film seemed to be closing over his dark eyes, like the inner lid of an eagle when it gazes upon the sun.
