[Copper Streak Trail by Eugene Manlove Rhodes]@TWC D-Link bookCopper Streak Trail CHAPTER XIV 3/22
I ain't complainin' none--I wouldn't be that ungrateful, after all you done for me.
But I didn't get a good night's rest.
Wish you'd put me in another cell to-night.
There was folks droppin' in here at all hours of the night, pesterin' me. I didn't sleep good at all." "Dropping in? What in hell do you mean ?" gurgled the sheriff, still pointing to rope and saw. "Why, sheriff, what's the matter? Aren't you a little mite petulant this A.M.? What have I done that you should be so short to me ?" "That's what I want to know.
What have you been doing here ?" "I ain't been doing nothin', I tell you--except stayin' here, where I belong," said Pete virtuously. His eye followed the sheriff's pointing finger, and rested, without a qualm, on the evidence.
