That evening beside the fire,
Overland Red told again the story
of the dead prospector, the gold,
and the buried papers. In his
troubled slumbers the fastener
dreamed of pacing along the track
counting the ties, and eventually
digging in the sand.
Winthrop now knew the tramp
well enough to appreciate that the
other had not risked his own life
and nearly killed one of his pursu-
ers through sheer bravado, or
fear, or personal hatred. Some
thing more potent was beneath
the tramp's motives-some fneen-
tive that was almost a religion. SO
far, Winthrop was correct. He
erred, however, in supposing
Overland to be obsessed with a
mania for gold for its own sake.
