"Billy, I never loved you as much as I do this minute," grinned Johnny wearily.
"Not a word to say for yoreselves, either one o' you," he jeered. "Good enough. I'll do what talkin' 's needed, then I'll strip the hide off'n both o' you." With a flirt of the arm he sent the lash of the dog-whip snaking out toward Jessie. She shrank back against the wall, needlessly. It was a threat, not an attack; a promise of what was to come.

"What do you want to stick here for like a lot of groundhogs? There's rivers back in the hills a heap better than this one, and nobody thar. You'd have the place plumb to yoreselves. Git in where the mountains is really mountainous."
Anyhow," he continued seriously, "I didn't hit him hard didn't have to. Just let him go an' shoved him quick." "I'm just naturally going to clean house," muttered the prisoner, sitting up and glaring around. "Untie my han's an' gimme a gun or a club or anything, an' watch yoreselves get licked. Called me a thief! What are you fellers, then? sticking me up an' busting me for a few measly dollars.

"Help yoreselves to liquor while I tell yuh. First o' all, do any of yuh know Kid Wolf?" It was evident that most of them had heard of him.
