Hopalong Cassidy’s Rustler Round-Up

CHAPTER XIV
5/14

Yu never saw Red afore, but yu didn't care if he went with me.

Yu don't deserve fair play, but I'm going to give it to yu because I don't want anybody to say that any of th' Bar-20 ever murdered a man, not even a skunk like yu.
My friends have treated me too square for that.

Yu can take this gun an yu can do one of three things with it, which are: walk out in th' open a hundred paces an' then turn an walk toward me--after you face me yu can set it a-going whenever yu want to; the second is, put it under yore hat an' I'll put mine an' th' others back by the cayuses.

Then we'll toss up an' th' lucky man gets it to use as he wants.

Th' third is, shoot yourself." Mr.Cassidy punctuated the close of his ultimatum by handing the weapon, muzzle first, and, because the other might be an adept at "twirling," he kept its recipient covered during the operation.
