 "Umn." grunted Kruger. tugging at his beard. but he did not come o0t with his proposal
 T tell you" he said at last I'm not doing much talking about this proposition of mine. It's a big thing. and somebody might beat me to it. You know what am, I guess- I've pulled o6 some of the biggest deals in this country for poor. man. and I don't make many mistakes-not about mineral anyway. And when tell you that this is rich yoa're talking with . man that knowx"
 He fixed his shrswd, blue eyes on the yoang mans, open countenance and waited tor him to speak

 Well, you might eaA 1t that, :" agreed Bud We been on the dodge for a month A bunch of revoftosos tried to get our treasure, and when we skipped out on 'em they tried to get us."
 "Well," continaed Kruger, thu proposition of mine is different You was over in the Sierra Madres, whore the natives are bad. These Sonora Mexicans aint like thsm Chthnahua fellers- they're Americanized. I'll tell you. if it wasn't that the people would know me I'd go down after this mine myself. The country's perfectly quiet There's lots of Americans down there yet and they don't even know there is a revolution. It ain't far from the rail- road, you see, and that makes lot of difference"

 ''Yes,'' he said, i've was near a rail road-the Northwestern and seemed like them red-faggers did nothing else but burn bridges and ditch supply trains. When they finally whipped 'em of the whole bunch took to the hilfs- That's where we got it again"
 We'll" argued Kruger. this rail road of ours is all right and they run train over it every day.
