"Without water," said McCrae slowly, "the land itself is worth about one dollar an acre. Twenty-five thousand would be an outside price for a crazy man to pay for Talapus." "Exactly," said Farwell.

With the boiling water grasping his legs, clinging to him like a tireless wrestler seeking the first unguarded moment; and with the plunging, tugging, rushing giant at the other end of the silken line fighting with every inch of his spring steel body for freedom, Dan made a picture to bring the light of admiration to any woman's eyes.

And my my people, Master Farwell, my mother?" At this Farwell started and stepped back. The light from an electric lamp fell full on the girl's quivering, brilliant face.
