Finally Oldrin' turned, and it was easy to see somethin' hed shook him.

Yes, sir, thet big rustler--you know he's as broad as he is long, an' the powerfulest build of a man--yes, sir, the nerve had been taken out of him.

Then, after a little, he began to talk an' said a lot to Lassiter, an' by an' by it didn't take much of an eye to see thet Lassiter was gittin' hit hard.

I never seen him anyway but cooler 'n ice--till then.

He seemed to be hit harder 'n Oldrin', only he didn't roar out thet way.
