`` That 's it , Sheriff , '' replied Steger , ingratiatingly . `` He asked me to step around and see what you wanted him to do in the matter . Judge Payderson has just fixed the sentence time for Monday morning at ten o'clock . I do n't suppose you 'll be much put out if he does n't show up here before Monday at eight o'clock , will you , or Sunday night , anyhow ? He 's perfectly reliable , as you know . '' Steger was sounding Jaspers out , politely trying to make the time of Cowperwood 's arrival a trivial matter in order to avoid paying the hundred dollars , if possible . But Jaspers was not to be so easily disposed of .
