CHAPTER V.
ENOCH COOK AND HIS PAL.
The moment Quick appeared upon the scene Cook made a successful dash for liberty, Burt did not make a move to intercept him.
Mike had the drop on him, and Burt believed the rascal would shoot if he grappled with Cook.
“Ain’t you a nice member of society?” remarked Quick.
“Put up that gun.”
“You just hold your horses; I want to give Enoch a good start,” said Mike. “You gave me your word of honor you would not attempt to arrest the man.”
“What is it to you whether Cook is arrested or not?”
“A good deal; that is, if the arrest was made here.”
“Find him a good customer, eh?”
“It ain’t that.”
