“Where, for instance?”
“I had some in the bank at Lee’s Falls, but I drew it out the other day.”
“So I heard. Have you any money in the Emmonsville bank?”
“Yes, but I am not quite ready to take it yet. I can give you an order on the bank if that will suit.”
“Thank you; I doubt if the order would be honored.”
“All this talk amounts to nothing,” said Fox impatiently. “I tell you that if you release me I will bring or send you the money.”
“And how soon would you want it back again?”
“Whenever I saw my way clear to taking it,” said the outlaw boldly.
“I like that talk. It looks square. I’ll think over your offer, friend Fox, and let you know in the morning what I decide to do.”
The outlaw frowned. He evidently did not like the prospect of remaining in captivity overnight.
