They inquired their way to a tavern , and there dried their clothing and procured a good , hot meal , which made both feel much better . `` I am going to send a telegram to Mr. Vane , '' said Joe , and did so without further delay . He was careful of the satchel and did not leave it out of his sight . They found they could get a train for the West that evening at seven o'clock and at the proper time hurried to the depot . `` I 'm glad I met you , '' said Joe , to his newly-made friend . `` Now , what do you think I owe you for what you did ? '' `` As we did n't land the fellows in jail you do n't owe me anything , '' said Bill Badger , promptly .
