The Trail of the White Mule

CHAPTER ELEVEN
15/18

An' bumpin' yuh off would be neither pleasant ner safe.
"Now, the way I've doped this out, I'm goin' to sell yuh the outfit fer just what jack yuh got in your clothes.

Fork it over, an' I'll give yuh the layout just as she stands." "Yuh better wait till Casey says he wants t' buy!" Swallowing resentment all night had made his voice husky; and it was bitter indeed to sit still and hear himself called a harp and a mick.
"Why wait?
Hand over the roll, and that closes the deal.

I didn't ask yuh would yuh buy--I'm givin' yuh somethin' fer your money, is all.

I could take it off yuh after yuh quit kickin' and drive your remains in to this little burg, with a tale of how I'd caught a bootlegger that resisted arrest.

So fork over the jack, old-timer.
