“Ter think that Parry’d do a thing like that,” Joe said as they trudged along.
“It sure do beat the Dutch,” the deputy agreed.
Soon the cabin hove in sight and Bob gave a loud whoop which brought Rex and Jack out on the porch.
“Well, you sure did make it snappy,” Jack said as he grasped his brother’s hand. “I didn’t expect you for two hours.”
Bob introduced his companions and they all went into the cabin.
“Well, well, what you been up to, Parry?” the deputy greeted the prisoner.
“Hello, Jeem. I think I mak’ one beeg fool out of myself, oui,” the breed answered.
“Yes, I guess you have,” Dugan replied severely.
Then turning to Bob he said, “You can untie him now. I’ll be responsible for him.”
Bob did as he asked and Parry stretched himself with a sigh of relief.
