The Desire of the Moth; and The Come On

CHAPTER II
38/41

I'd enjoy it....

Now, let's see: If you'll hold these lads a few minutes I'll get my boots and saddle up and bring my horse to the door; then I'll pay Max my hotel bill and talk to them while you get your horse; and we'll ride together till we get out in the open.

How's that for a lay ?" That was a good lay, it seemed; and it was carried out--with one addition: After Foy brought his horse he rang Central and called up the sheriff.
"Hello! That you, Mr.Lisner?
This is Kitty Foy," he said sweetly.
"Sheriff, I hate to bother you, but old Nueces River, your chief of police, is out of town.

And I thought you ought to know that the police force is all balled up.

They're here at the Gadsden Purchase.
Bell Applegate is sick--seems to be indigestion; Espalin is having a nervous spell; and Ben Creagan is bleeding from his happiest vein.
You'd better come see to 'em.
