TEE COUNT AND THE COWBOYS.
121
THE FIELD OF HONOR.
dischargin' his gun without turnin' around. The Count turns some pale at this and watches real interested while Stump kills another by shootin' backwards with the gun under his arm. He kills another, and then lookin' bored, says that this is too slow for him, an requests that the next two victims stand up at the same time. The two tremblin' victims steps out, and one shot settles them both, and we looks around to see how the Count takes this latest evidence of Stump's good shootin'.
However, we all get some disappointed, for we was never able to get the Count's real opinion. When we turns, all that we can see of the Count is a cloud of dust, pursuin' the mornin' stage, which has just passed thru. The
Count's coat, likewise his hat and baggage, is still with us, so that there is no reason to pursue him to collect Mac's bill.
A puncher what rode in that afternoon tells us how he meets the stage on the road and says that, turnin' around to look back at the driver, he sees a jasper, somewhat answerin' to the Count's description, hangin' to the back springs, but that the stage was out of hearin' and his hoss was too tired to ketch up. Besides, he says that after two looks at the Count, he convinces himself that what he sees is like them rattlers what comes after a big spree, and that he just says "He-e, there ain't no such animal," and rides on.
