grinned reminiscently. 81 had too
much tongue for Hank. presume.
Hank played whist with us and
Hank talked mines. Gold and silver
and lead. All summer long. He
talked about canoes and portages,
maps and lodes, white water. and
living off the country. If he had a
small capital TO fit out an expedi-
ton, he said - On. you see the
pointl He was romantic as Satan
and plausible-and we were all
flush. Putting up twenty thousand
from four of us was cinch. We
dangled Hank all summer because
we liked his company-and we sent
him west with his 'grubstake' in
the fall II and practically forgot
about it. He didn't write much. In
the 1907 panic, when we were
scratching every private till to the
bottom, we did try TO get in touch
with him. But he was out in the
back country somewhere-and we
dismissed any hope of collecting the
twenty thousand dollars"
And then -" Aggie said -
Hank came through
Sarah nodded several times. "He
came through like an Oklahoma
gusher. He showed up here in 1909.
1t was gold and plenty of it. and he
wouldn't hear Of taking more than

nobody but me suggested it. in

We'd felt the terrible penalty Of a

that. Legality was not ever a chief
