"I'll I'll have nervous prostration sure ef there's a fight here," said Tuck, who saw what was in Rod's eye; "I'm I'm that sympathetic I'd run away clear to next caounty." "Yep; I know that kind o' sympathy. Jest lasts long enough to start a fuss, an' then lights aout to make new trouble. I hain't been ten years in harness fer nuthin'.
