a whole lot. It'll be some relaxation.'

"Mebby it's four days after when this yere Sal hops outen the stage,
an' for the next week thar ain't no washin' done whatever, while
Benson Annie an' Sal works the wire aige offen their visit.

"`A gent as would begretch two pore, hard-workin' girls a lay-off of
a week,' says Enright, 'ain't clean strain, an' I don't want to know
sech a hoss-thief nohow'; an' we-alls feels likewise.

"But slap on the heels of all this yere gregar'ousness on the part
of Benson Annie an' Sal, the deal begins to come queer. At the end
of the week the two girls has a row, an' in the turn Sal goes to
t'other end of camp an' opens a laundry. That does settle it. Benson
Annie gives Sal fits, an' Sal shorely sends 'em back. Then they
quits speakin', an when they meets on the street they concocts
snoots at each other. This scares Enright, but he does his level

"But as one day an' the next trails by, the boys sorter gets lined
up one way an' t'other; some for Benson Annie an' some for Sal, an'
things is shorely gettin' hot. Hamilton, over at the dance-hall, ups
an' names his place the 'Sal Saloon,' an' Burns takes down the sign
on the Red Light an' calls it the 'Benson Annie House.' Finally
things sorter culminates.
