Destry Rides Again
“asked one of the men, “shall we all go in?”
“I’ll go in with a coupla you boys,” replied Sam, the leader. “The rest of you scatter around the house. I wish that we had riot guns with us. But whatever you’re in doubt about, use a cartridge on it. There won’t be any harm in that! If Destry smells trouble, he’s gunna be off like a shot. But if we have a fair chance, maybe we’ll get him. I’ll go in and talk to the folks!”

“Hey!” said Pop, “if it ain’t Sam Warren!”
“Yes, it’s me,” said Warren. “I hear that you’re all busted out into a rash, and your wife clean down with scarlet fever.”
“Is that Willie’s talk?” asked Pop, glaring severely toward the boy.
