"I know that."
"How about taking the job you just saw left vacant? I'll pay you well. My name's Jake Favors."
Joe said, "I'm Joe Tower and I'm on my way to Oregon."
"And I have to get some mules gentled. Tell you what, if you can break me in a team of six, I'll give you ten dollars a head."
Joe grinned. "Have to get to Oregon."
"How much do you think it's worth?"
"Fifty dollars a head."
Jake Favors raised both hands in mock horror. "Man! I can't sell mules for fifty dollars a head!"
"You must be a mighty poor salesman."
"Tell you what. I'll lose money on it but I'll give you twenty five dollars a head for breaking in a team of six that will work together."
