The breath of the spectators vented in a sigh. "Haow'll yu take it, Mister?" he gibed. "I could l'arn an old caow to beat yu on the draw. Aw, shucks! I 'laow yu'd better go back to yore pasteboards.

Red nodded and they went over toward their horses. As they were hesitating which route to take, Billy Jordan came up. "Mebby yu'd like to see yore pardner he's out by Buzzard's Spring. We'll take care of him," jerking his thumb over his shoulder toward the saloon where Harris's body lay. "And we'll all git th' others later. They cain't git away for long."
I had not remotely imagined such a step. "Marry her!" I screeched in dismay. "Marry her!" I don't know which word was the worse to emphasize at such a moment, but I emphasized both thoroughly. "I didn't expect yu'd act that way," said the lover. He dropped behind me fifty yards and spoke no more. Not at once did I beg his pardon for the brutality I had been surprised into.
"Trampas," said the Virginian, "I thought yu'd be afeared to try it on me." Trampas whirled round. His hand was at his belt. "Afraid!" he sneered. "Shorty!" said Scipio, sternly, and leaping upon that youth, took his half-drawn pistol from him. "I'm obliged to yu'," said the Virginian to Scipio. Trampas's hand left his belt.
Same as other folks talks hawsses or steers or whatever they're raising to sell. Yu'd fall into it yourselves if yu' started the business. Anything a man's bread and butter depends on, he's going to be earnest about. Don't care if it is a frawg." "That's so," said the native. "And it paid good?" "The only money in the county was right there," answered the Virginian.
And he indulged in a true Virginian expletive. "Gentlemen, hush!" he murmured gently, looking at me with his grave eyes; "one time I got pretty near scared. You, Buck," he continued, "some folks would beat you now till yu'd be uncertain whether yu' was a hawss or a railroad accident. I'd do it myself, only it wouldn't cure yu'." I now told him that I supposed he had saved both our lives.
Montoyo consents, that's enough," I informed, striving to keep steady. "I'm not walking with you, sir; I am walking with her. The only ground you control is just in front of your own wagon." "Yu've been told once thar ain't no 'Mrs. Montoyo," he snarled. "And whilst yu're l'arnin' to shoot yu'd better be l'arnin' manners. Yu comin' with me, Edna?" "As fast as I can, and with Mr.
"We punchers like good stuff an' we pays good prices with good money. What do we get? Why, cabbage leaves an' leather for our smokin' an' alcohol an' extract for our drink.

"I don't see what Trampas wants him for," said Scipio. "Oh, a handy tool some day." "Not very handy," said Scipio. "Well, Trampas is aimin' to train him. Yu' see, supposin' yu' were figuring to turn professional thief yu'd be lookin' around for a nice young trustful accomplice to take all the punishment and let you take the rest."

"And I hope sleepin' in it will bring me some of his luck," said Scipio. "Yu'd ought to've seen us when he told us in his quiet way. Well," Scipio sighed a little, "it must feel good to have your friends glad about you."
