You remember how we got the boys all corralled up nice an' tame when you was here. Well, he's got 'em wild.
"It wasn't needed; I've been figuring out the thing." "Well," remarked Stanton with a thoughtful air, "he wouldn't let that land agent see him if he'd been guilty." Curtis reserved his opinion. "You're getting smart," he said with a grin. "Still, you don't want to hustle." "Hustle?" Stanton rejoined scornfully. "Jernyngham was killed last summer and we haven't corralled anybody yet!"
