By the Almighty Etarnal he won't say't twice." "Have you purchased it?" "Neer a mind for that, mister; I've made it: that's my style o' purchase, an', by God! it'll stan' good, I reck'n. Consarn yur skin! what hev you got to do wi't anyhow?" "This," I replied, still struggling to keep calm, at the same time taking the title-deeds from my saddle-bags "this only, Mr Holt.

I'll find him in the bottom o' a Californey gold mine, or wherever he may try to hide hisself; an', by the etarnal! I'll wipe out the score both the old un and the new un in the skunk's blood, or I'll never set fut agin in the state o' Tennessee. I've made up my mind to it." "You are determined to follow him?"
