Cut it out!"

Mr. Dewing, evenly enough, shifted his thoughtful gaze upon tall Eric,
seemingly without resentment for the outburst.

"Well, wasn't he insultin' the boys then?" demanded Eric.

"I guess you're right, there," Mayer Zurich admitted. "I was not at all
in favor of taking so many of them in on this proposition; but I'm not
afraid of them doin' me dirt, now they're in. I don't see why the three

pride themselves on their nerve. They are fighting men, if you
please--very fearless and gallant. That suits me. I am no gentleman.
Quite the contrary. I am very intelligent, as afore-said. It was the part
of prudence--"

"That is a very good word--prudence." The interpolation came from tall
Eric.

"A very good word," assented the gambler, unmoved. "It was the part of
prudence to let our valiant friends and servants pull these chestnuts
from the fire, as aforetime. To become the corpse of a copper king is a
prospect that holds no attractions for me."

"But why--why on earth--did you insist on employing men you now
