Naw, suh, that Jeffy, he'd be most highly overjoyed to haul off an' lend a helpin' hand, ef by so doin' he mout put you onder a favor to him." Cephus sniffed, half disarmed but wavering. "Wharin' could he he'p out? He ain't ownin' no private string of ridin'-hosses so fur ez I've took note of."
I wuz on a road I never traveled before goin' to see an old greaser, ownin' a mighty pretty piece of ground I wanted when all of a sudden I come on a cabin, an' thar stood Bill in front of it, a-smokin'. I axed him fur a light, an' when he came up to give it to me, I grabbed him by the shirt-collar an' dug the spur into the mare.
"You think that buyin' and sellin' 'em is just the same as ownin' 'em?" "I do." "Your hand!" said he, fervently.

I can help him on the side like I did before, but the Jew's got hold of enough over there now to run things, with ownin' land all round and holdin' mortgages on town property just to keep joints out of 'em. I do no end of business for Jacobs now. Never had dealin's with a straighter man. But he'd better look out for Wyker.
