if l didn't.
AT the last the Yallerhouse man ana
Moore somehow beats the smallpox. I'M,
the Aallerhouse man comes out shy one
eye. The smallpox gouges it out one #
them times when Moore amt Iooxin' ON,
his game sharp. 1t was his pistol eve
TOO, which, OF course, makes him feel the
loss more keen and creates general SYM
pathy. The Yallerhouse man gets prer-
ty ugly over it, which wasn't after an
unnatural man amt got so manv
eyes he can afford to go one short on
every little game he plays. So he finds
fault with Moore whole lot, and allow
if he had him back in the states ba,t
sue him for gross neglect of them eyes
well, l shOrely likes this" says Moore
to the Yallerhouse man, gettin' peevisb
over his fault findin'. Don't you know,
you can jest thank me an the mercy az
hell you amt Dustin your harp strings
an raisin' general discord among me
hosts on high right now, instead of bein'
safe an well yere in Wolfville? You DONE
act like man who really knows when
he makes winnin'. 'Spose you be out one
eye, you're still looking at things terres-
tile with the other. You talk of gross neg
lect of dooty. You come pesterin' round
me any more an I'll bend a gun over your
head"
Which, if it wasn't my six-shooter eve
which's gone OUT says the Yallerhouse
man, mighty malevolent, do you know
what I'd do? Well, this yere would be the
basis OF first-class gun play. You can
gamble there wouldn't be no jim-crow
marshal go pirootin' round, losin' no ewes
of mine, and gettin' away with it, an
talkin' of bendin' guns on me none"
But it all preys on Moore. And a-see-
in of this Yallerhouse man around camp
a-lookin' at him in a faultfndin' way
outen his one eye, sorter aggravated
Moore like a nightmare.
Il wouldn't mind it so much' saws
Moore to me confidential, "if this Yaller-
house man had quit laig or an arm be-
hind; cause l. in which event, pieces him
out with wood all easy enough. But an eye
out is an eye out, an that settles it."
"One day Moore couldn't bear it no long
er, and so he walks up to the Yallerhouse
man in the Red Light all brisk and brief
It's rough deal on a one-eyed man.
says Moore, an l shorely axes pardon.
and states regret in advance. But things
has got to go to a showdown. I'm slowly
but shorely becomin onfit for public doc
~. Now you can have either end. You
can get an boss an a hundred dollars Of
me and pull your freight, or you can 20
an fix yourself with a gun an have a
mighty stirrin' an eventful time with ma
right we're. As an outcome the public
will have one to plant. an perhaps a va
cancy to fill in the post of marshal.
Which is it, an what do you say?
What for a boss is it?' asks the YAH
Ierhouse man.
Which it's a Pinto says Moore, as
good paint pony as ever was roper
Does this yere proposal include a sad
die and spurs" asked the Yallerhouse
man.
1t shorely does.' replied Jack. is IL
a go?'
Well says the Yallerhouse man, az
ter ponderin' it up one way and down an
other, this yere way of settlin' for eyes
or boss, and hundred dollars is far from
bein usual with me. If 1 had my eyes
again I'd shorely stay and shoot it our,
and admire to be present. But now such
thoughts is vanity. So bring your money
and your pony here to the Red Light in
fifteen minutes by the watch. As soon
as l get a bottle filled I'm ready to go. I
shorely should not regret leavin' an outfit
which puts folks in jail for bein' sick, and
connives at their bein blinded for life.'
