Dale told Major Bradley and John
MOreland of that which Golf had said
to him at the gate. The major sug-
gested forthwith that he go to meet
the man; 1t couldn't possibly do any
harm, and there was chance that he
would learn something of Goff's IN
tentions.
So Dale went.
Golf was already there, waiting. He
was sitting on stone on the More

When he saw Dale approaching, he
smiled and nodded, rose and pocketed
his knife

Golf frowned uneasily.
"You don't know coal, Mr.. Dale.
You don't know the business of min

Thousands of men have gone busted
trying to do things they weren't used
to doing. There's big chance. too,
that the coal isn't what 1t looks to be
on the surface. You'd better take a
sure thing. and avoid a possibility of
loss. I'll give you five thousand. spot

Dale shook his head. you'll have

The corners of the shyster coal mans
