“What’s a county charge, Minnie?” he asked

“Dunno,” grunted the squaw.

“You don’t know much, do you, Minnie?”

“Know I don’t like Baggs.”

“Gee, I feel the same way about it. I wish I could talk with Len Ayres, Minnie. He wears blue shirts and red handkerchiefs. I seen him the other day, but he didn’t see me. What do you suppose Mr. Baggs meant about him maybe goin’ back to prison in a month?”

“Maybe,” grunted Minnie. “He don’t say sure.”

“Uh-huh. I guess maybe I’ll have to see him.”

“I guess I go make pie. You go play with kids.”

“Don’t want to play with kids. I want to be a cowpuncher, Minnie.”

“Go ahead,” grunted Minnie. “Good job.”
