" I seen enough an' I don't never want ter use my gun if I can git out o' it, fer it's a awful thing ter feel that a man might be livin' this min ute but fer you, even when it was a question o' self-defense. I was some hot-headed myself when I was a kid, but I don't never want ter draw a gun no more, though I was ready and willin' ter in them days. " One time I was out on a prospectin' an 9 fishin' trip with a chum o' mine named Weston, up near Buffalo, in Coloraydo. One day we come across a de...serted cabin. 'Twas full o' grub an' in fine shape, but the fire had been dead fer days an' we could see no one was livin' there. We built a fire an' helped ourselves ter what we needed, fer we'd left our outfit below an' was some hungry. We did that way in them days, when we found a shack on the trail an' nobody home. All any one asked was fer the stranger ter leave things clean an' ship shape. We had a good square meal, then we pulled out. " Weston's uncle, a feller named The Hender- THE LAND WHERE THE SUNSETS GO 33 son, who lived up the gulch 'bout one or three miles above this here shack, was a pretty hard nut, an' it seems he'd bought the outfit we found in the empty shack from two fellers who'd stocked it up an' then pulled out ahead o' time.
