For heavens sake!" the promoter
burst out. What's got into you?
Don't you so around trying 10 stand
that corpse on its feet: it's dead one.
tell you The Coronida titles are all
right"
There are no Coronida titles. You
have known il all along. and know II
now. have II straight from the bu-
reau OF land statistics. in letter from
man who knows. The nearest
boundary OF the old Spanish grant is
I-atigo peak, ten miles south OF Chi
gringo. The department knows this
and is prepared 10 prove II. And In
the very beginning you and your asso-
ciates were warned that you could not
acquire homestead or other rights In
the Niquoia."
Let II gor snapped the gray-eyed
king OF the pack. We've got TO get
out alive and we're going TO get out
alive. What's your price,
"I have answered that question once.
but I'll make II a little palmer II you
wish. IL is beyond your reach: IL you
should turn your money-coining soul
into cash you couldn't pay II this time
Mr.. Cartwright"
That's guff-boy- oy-talk-play-rant
ing! You want something's II that
damned Massingale business again!
don't own the railroad. but IL you think
do. I'll sign anything you want TO
write TO the traffic people. Let Mas
singale sell his ore and get the money
for II. He'll go gamble IL as he did
yours"
Brouillard looked up under the
shaded electric globe and his hand
some face wrinkled in a sour smile.
You aro ready 10 let go, are your
he said. you are too late. Mr.. Ford
returned from Europe a week ago. and
| have a wire saying that tonight q
through freight from Brewster is chief
ly made up OF empty ore cars for the
Little Susan"
The sandy-gray eyes blinked at this.
but Mr.. Cortwright was OF those who
die hard.
What said still holds good Mas
| singale or his son. or both OF them'
! will gamble the money. And TX they
| don't, we've got 'em tied up in a hard
knot on the stock proposition
Il was coming TO that" said Brouii-
lard quietly. For a long time you
have been telling me what l should do
and I have done IT, Now I'll take my
turn. You must notify your associ'
ates that the Little Susan deal Is on.
There will be a called meeting OF the
directors here in this room tomorrow
evening at eight o'clock, and"
"Who calls it?" interrupted the
| tyrant.
The president"
president nothing" was the snort
| ed comment AN old, drunken gam
bier who hasn't got sense enough to
/ go in when 1t rains! Say. Brouillard,
/ III cut that pie so therell be enough
| to go around the table. Just leave
Massingale out OF II and make up
your mind that you're going TO sit IN
with us. We've bought the mine and
paid for 1t. I've got the stock put
away where it's safe. Massingale
| can't touch a share OF IL, or vote II,
either"
Brouillard shook his head.
you are stubbornly hard TO con-
vince, Mr.. Cortwright, but III try one
more time. You will come here to-
morrow evening, with your confeder-
ates in the deal. prepared to take the
money you have actually spent in bet
terments and prepared to release the
stock. If you fail TO do so you will
get nothing. Is that explicit enough"
You're crazy" shouted the promo
/ ter. You talk as IL there wasn't any
/ law in this country"
There isn't-for such men as you:
| you and your kind put yourselves
above the law. But that is neither
| here nor there. You don't want 10 go
/ into court with this conspiracy which
you have cooked up to beat David Mas
singale out OF his property. It's the
! last thing on earth you want TO do.
So you'd better do the other thing
while you can"
