About This Book
A tale of strangers in an old-town saloon - confusion, disapproval and a small-town show-down. A short story first published in the Adventure Magazine 1928.“Why, if you please, I don’t want no liquor; I want an empty bottle!”“An empty bottle?”“Yes, sir!” the awkward fellow said, deprecatorily, “I want it clean—you know—no whisky or anything—”“As though whisky ever soiled the insides of a bottle!” some one exclaimed sorrowfully.
