Angry as he was, Patches felt a thrill of admiration for the man, and beneath his determination to force Phil Acton to treat him with respect, he was proud of his friend who had answered his sneering insinuation with such fearlessness. But he could not now hesitate in his plan of provoking Phil into disarming himself. "You're something of a four-flusher yourself, aren't you?" he mocked.
Jim looked at Bill meditatively. "Bill, I'm going to call his bluff!" "Us fellows in my posse'll shoot his place up if you say the word," cried Bill eagerly. "No, that won't do," replied Jim.

"A million Johns have told me that," Felicity answered. "Talk business." But Dunham had refused to talk business. He was ugly about it. And then he thought to see a way around. He sent for Perry Blair, and Perry came. That surprised Dunham.

"He isn't a four-flusher, as I am, and does not make as much money, but he can take another man's ideas and express them so simply and forcibly that they tell the man's story better than he knew it himself.
