"You no geeve us guns we keel you," he stormed.
"I have no doubt but that you will if you can, but let me tell you once for all that if you follow us we'll shoot the first man we see and don't you forget it. Come on, Jack."
Jack started off down the trail and Bob followed, keeping his head turned and his gun trained on the man until they were some hundred feet away. Then he quickened his pace and quickly caught up with Jack who was some distance ahead.
"Talk about your minutes of suspense," he said. "When that guy dodged back I expected to feel that sting of a bullet any second."
"So did I, but I reckon Lucky must have made a clean sweep of them," Jack declared.
"Well it sure saved our lives."
"You said it. But do you think they'll follow us?"
"There's no telling. I reckon they're a bit of a coward when the cards are stacked against them."
"And Lucky sure stacked 'em that time," Jack chuckled.
"Unless they find a gun which he overlooked I don't see, but we're safe enough. All we've got to do is to be on our guard every minute of the time."
