For the first minute or two following
Black Duncan arrival, every man KEEP
his eye fixed upon the unwelcome form
in the doorway, as if uncertain what
was to follow. The latter was still
looking down upon the party with that
fixed stare and dangerous expression Of
the eyes that had attracted the attention
of the man whose remarks ! had over
heard. Suddenly he closed the door be
hind him, and advanced into the room,
walking slowly toward the bar, behind
which the proprietor stood awaiting
him.
Standing behind the bar, and still
with his eve fixed upon the party, he
brought his hand down upon the coun-
ter and exclaimed in deep, determined
voice:
Who says I'm not boss Of this rancho,
eh?"
To thi, defiant question, one Of the
men replied with Il certain air OF indif-
ference, which seemed to imply that the
speaker, while DESTROYS Of avoiding
trouble, was not daunted by the ques-
toner.
You're q pretty good man, Duncan,
that'sa fact he said; but You aren't
the only good man around this settle
memt. by long shot.
Who's that spoke?' asked Duncan,
without changing his tone or removing
his gaze.
Il was chris,encd Dick Matlocl, re-
piled the other; but people call me
'Loony' sometimes, I'm a right smart
chance Of a man for all that-you may
bet your bottom dollar, Duncan.
The desperate here poured out Il glass
of whisky, drank the raw liquor down,
and leaned against the bar with one leg
ncgigently thrown across the other. \
sort of incredulous smile broke upon
his face rs he commenced to speak
