My knees got weak, and I sat down on the edge of the board sidewalk. "'You must have knocked around a right smart, goes on this oil Grease-us . 'I shouldn't be surprised if you have saw towns more livelier than what Atascosa City is.
So now and then we saddles up and hits the breeze for Atascosa City for a few days of excitement and damage. Here's a little bunch of the dinero that I drawed out of the bank this morning, says he, and shows a roll of twenties and fifties as big around as a sleeping-car pillow. The yellowbacks glowed like a sunset on the gable end of John D.'s barn.
'I was thinking of the time me and George put sheep-dip in Horsehead Johnson's whisky. I wish I was back in Atascosa City, says he. "I felt a cold chill run down my back. 'Me to play and mate in one move, says I to myself. "I made Solly promise to stay in the cafe for half an hour and I hiked out in a cab to Lolabelle Delatour's flat on Forty-third Street. I knew her well.

He at once extended to me the courtesies of the entire railroad, kindly warning me, however, not to get aboard any of the rolling stock. "About ten the next morning I steps off the ties into a village that calls itself Atascosa City. I bought a thirty-cent breakfast and a ten-cent cigar, and stood on the Main Street jingling the three pennies in my pocket dead broke.
When this barge-load of unexpected money came to him and his pink but perky partner, George, and they hied themselves to this clump of outhouses called Atascosa City, you know what happened to them. They had money to buy anything they wanted; but they didn't know what to want. Their ideas of spendthriftiness were limited to three whisky, saddles, and gold watches.
