"That's so," Ed replied.
Then an afterthought struck him.
"No; we couldn't do that."
"I don't see why not."
"Why, of course we couldn't. There ain't any barns on the prairies!"
I had never thought of that.
The objection was unanswerable.
"Besides," pursued Ed, with something like a shudder, "tramps sleep in these barns."
I abandoned the plan hastily.
