fere, she were whittier than Jameson
When l looked at her l says TO myself
that the five hundred I'd seen him lose
was likely all they had, an she was hit
harder'n he was. like enough.
Amy way, she was nigh frantic l
heard her ask him:
e Did you Loser an he says
" Yes. l lost all 1 had an then she
blazed out.
90 course it wasn't no part o the
game O. poker, an them that was playin'
didn't have no call to look out for jamie
son, seen he couldn't look out for his
self. but she were a woman, and Yank
at that an 'twan't to be looked for that
she'd look at it like a sporting man
would.
she fairly raved at them men,
couldn't begin to tell you what she said
but / remember she called Southern
chivalry some pretty nasty things when
four men would sit it down and rob a
sick man O. the last dollar he had in the
world. An for a minute or two they
all KEEP still.
Jameson tried to hush her up but
'twan't no use. She had her say out. an
then Fairbanks he talked back.
Whether it was that he remembered
bein' a gentleman once, an it stung him
worse n 1t did the others, / can't say,
but he started to say something about
women staying where they belonged an
not maxim fools o. themselves, when
Jameson turned an made a rush at him.
He got in one fair blow, too, that al
most fioored the gambler, but before he
could strike again Fairbanks had his
bowieknife out from his book and drove
IL square into his heart
1T was too much, even for people that
were used TO seeing desperate fighting.
To begin with If Jameson hadn't resent
ed the insult to his wife the others would,
and then it was perfectly plain that the
Yank was no match for him. He could
ha' licked him with one hand, an usin'
a knife was next door to murder, the
best way you could put 1t.
There was a yell TO wake the dead
and every man in the room made rush
for Fairbanks. If we'd caught him l
reckon that would ha' been the end Of
him, but he turned like a fash, seem
what was comm an was out on deck
before we could get at him. He didn't
stop there neither, for he cleared the
rail with a flying leap and when we
caught sight of him again he was thirty
feet away, swimming for shore.
Garter emptied his revolver at him
as he swan, but reckon he didn't hit
| him. Anyway the last we seen of him
he was still swimmin'. The cap'n was
goin to stop and send a boat after him.
but when we told him what had hap
pened, he cussed Carter for a poor shot,
| an we went on up the river.
They made up a purse for Mrs. jamie
| son, and would ha' given her anything
she wanted, but she wouldn't take pen
! ny beyond what her husband had lost,
| and she took his body on up Moth AS
for Fairbanks everybody that heer d
the story, grudged him the honor o
