“Are yuh dead sure it is?” asked Hashknife seriously.
Kelsey looked quickly at him.
“Dead sure?” Kelsey laughed shortly. “Well about as sure as anythin’ could be, Hartley. I dunno what got into Joe. He was sure strong on enforcin’ the law, and now he seems just as strong on breakin’ it.”
“Them’s the kind that go wrong—when they do go,” said Ralston.
“Yeah, you know a lot about it!” snorted Honey.
“Well, it allus works out that way.”
“It does, eh? I suppose yuh knowed two months ago that Joe Rich would turn out bad. What do yuh use—palmistry or one of them glass balls?”
“Aw, yuh don’t need to get sore, Honey.”
“Thasso? Every time I think about Joe, I get sore. I wish I knowed where he was hidin’ out.”
“Me, too,” grinned Kelsey. “I’d be a thousand better off.”
