All this may be true, he said;
gpt
I reckon so, he growled.
human
But have you got th' numbers of th' missin' bills?
gpt
Yes, I have; an' a lot of good it'll do me, _now_! snapped McCullough.
human
We was countin' on them for th' real proof, but that fool play of yourn threw 'em into th' discard! What'n h--l made you set that place afire?
gpt
I dunno, he muttered.
human
Was you aimin' to find th' missin' bills on them fellers? he asked.
gpt
Would that 'a' satisfied you?
human
Of course! snorted the trail-boss.
gpt
An' with Trask, here, turnin' agin' 'em like he has it would be more than enough. Any fool knows that!
human
I'm glad to hear you come right out an' say that, for that's what I wanted to know. I've been bothered a heap about what you might ask in th' line of proof. You shore relieve my mind, Mac. If you fellers will straddle leather we'll ride out where Kane an' th' others Trask named are waitin' for visitors. I don't reckon they none of them got away from Johnny an' Red.

What are you talkin' about?
human
I mean we've got Kane, Roberts, Corwin, Miguel, an' another Greaser all tied up, waitin' to turn 'em over to you an' collect them rewards. As long as we know just what you want, an' can give it to you, I don't see no use of waitin'. I'm invitin' Lukins an' th' rest along to see th' finish. What you goin' to do with Trask?
gpt
Take him south, I reckon, with th' others. If he talks before a jury like he's talked up here I reckon he won't be sorry for it. He walked to a window and looked down into the street.
human
Hey! he called.
gpt
Walt, get a couple of th' boys an' come up here right away. We got somebody for you to stay with,
