walk. Haskell purpOselY lost him in the TO-
tunda of the hotel. Then he sat down to re
cast the little scene that had Just been enacted.
The name Tom Glider fingered with vivid in
sstence If Glider had the power TO bring
Wright to account, he must know all about the
Pink Eye Haskell determined to find this
man Glider.
DO know Tom Glider" replied the first man
- Haskell asked this question Of i should
say sol Everybody does"
" Who IS he'"
Well, he's the limit, If you ask me. He was
4 pretty clever lawyer once. Is still, really but
now he's a kind of Sherlock Holmes IN the min
ing game II he got after any OF my claims, d
just tell him to 60 out and select what he
wanted"
This vivid description of Glider explained the
great faith OF AeekIns and suggested TO Haskell
the wisdom Of at least having an interview
with Glider
He found him in a dingy office sitting at a
little oak desk against d background OF leather
covered law books A pair of pale blue eyes,
set so close together that there seemed scarcely
room for the thin high-bridged nose, peered at
Haskell with questioning intensity.
Haskell had come with the idea OF sizing up
Glider; but he found himself almost at once
explaining his position down to the mlnutest
detail.
Gilders first question was, Have you any
papers?"
peering over his glasses, said, That contract
isn fit to govern the working plans OF 4 pair OF
owls. But 1t cooks your goose IN a hearing be
fore a Judge"
Haskell gave sigh of resignation. Looks
as If I'd got TO stand for being done up by that
crook" he said. Haven't | got chance 70
make him pay back that fifteen hundred he did
me out of"
The shadow of a mirthless smile played about
elders thin lips. Would you be willing TO
take hundred thousand dollars from Wright
IN settlement" he asked.
Haskell gasped IN astonishment. He stared
into the placid eyes so like little knobs OF blue
china wondering if he had heard Alright.
d" l think | could make him settle for that
amount" Glider added
Then, bv inks, 90 ahead" and Haskell
slapped his knee as though he had stamped an
agreement.
Mvfee will be One-thIrd of whatever amount
we accept" Glider advised.
But YOU said | had a weak case that q
Judge would give it against me on that con
tract c.,.,.,,
swered calmly; but we're not going before q
Judge, not if | can help 1t, You can leave the
matter in my hands
THEN Haskell went back to his somnolent

The English syndicate that had bought the
mine was served with notice OF Haskell clam.
And Wright soon received letters OF strong pro
test from the British Isles, instead OF BANK OF
England notes.
