Two qualifications for a marshal

     "You married a rancher, Bess, and when I can get on my feet, I'll go back to ranching. This is my country and I belong here. As for being a marshall . . . somebody has to do it."

    "But why does it have to be you?" she protested.

    "I am good with a gun, and they know it. More than that, I know when not to use a gun, and they know that, too."

(from Borden Chantry, by Louis L'Amour)
