The reason the narrator and the other man do not hold Edward for ransom in "Why, You Reckon?" is because they are moved by Edward's genuine kindness and generosity towards them. Their motivation for not holding Edward for ransom appears to be internal, as they are moved by Edward's actions and decide to reciprocate his kindness rather than take advantage of him. Their decision ultimately shows a sense of morality and integrity on their part.
