And fillin a small bottle full of water and settin it in a big glass jar where it would sink to the bottom till he began to talk to it and make it rare up and crap back just howsoever he wanted it to. Old Scratch knowed that if Stack was killed fightin another bad man like Jesse James maybe God wouldn’t let his soul go to hell. So this is the way the devil fixed it. was. When the devil got to the door he disappeared. Stack came runnin up and seen Billy standin by the door, lookin as innercent as you please, smokin, and watchin the can can dancers.
