It looks to me as if they was worth a lot more than the young feller owed you, Miss Sally.

They ain't no doubt about Miss Sally havin' a right to 'em, is there, Mister Toole ?" "Not a bit of doubt!" exclaimed Toole cheerfully.

"She has every right in the world.

You've got a witness that they came out of that box, and she can sell, give, donate, assign, or bequeath them, for better or for worse." "Then that's all right," said the Colonel, "an' I guess that's all we need you for." "Except to settle the witness fees with this gentleman," said Toole, turning to Eliph', who was still eager to say a word or two.

"But mebby, if I have a word or two with him, I can fix it up without making any expense for you." He drew Eliph' to one side.
"What's the cost of that book you're selling ?" he asked.
