Yes. Shall I have your help in securing this fugitive from justice? TOM (coldly). We're not man-hunters. Many a poor fellow, made criminal by passion or misfortune, has drifted among us to be made better by a life of hardship and privation. We ask no man's past history. If he be knave or fool, he shows his hand, and he is lost. Miner law is swift and sure. (VERMONT: You've your answer, stranger.) All right: I'll find my man without your help; but, if you should change your minds, there's a thousand dollars for the man who gives information. TOM and VERMONT (draw revolvers, cover JERDEN, and speak together). You get! (JERDEN turns, and runs up run, against SILAS, who is descending.)
