TEE REASON WHY

day, 'cause I asked her if a pie-faced Apache with manners like a grizzly had been 'round botherin' her, an' she said if I meant my partner, Hank, he had been in the day before, an' had warned her that if a black-haired coyote with a Greaser name came snoopin' 'round, she'd better watch the small articles on the counter, so if I didn't wish anything more just then she'd be obliged if I'd step outside, so she could sweep the floor."
"An' he had the nerve to go back next mornin', pretendin' to want more tobacco," Hank sneered.
"An' while I was a-gettin' it, who come sidlin' in, sayin' he'd lost his pipe, an' wanted another?" Pedro retorted.
' ' Which it was his week to wash the dishes, an' he was so plumb locoed, a-runnin' to the store every minute, that there wasn't nary clean plate to eat offen," Hank jeered.

"With another pipe in your pocket," Pedro interjected.
"Or more tobacco," Hank thrust back.
"Funny how much money a feller can spend on tobacco," Pedro said, with a slight sigh.
"Ain't to be compared to pipes for expensiveness, " Hank denied.
"But it was worth it," Pedro affirmed, loyally.
"It shore was — but I wish I could 'a' thought of somethin' besides pipes to ask for," Hank said thoughtfully. "Socks, maybe."
