"A leak! Gracious king! He's like a torpedo blow-up under the engine-room. The bank'll sink if he stays aboard another month, I do believe. And yet," he added, with a shake of the head, "I don't see but he'll have to stay; there ain't another available candidate for the job in sight.
Clark thought for a while. "Well!" said he, "it's a risk, but I'll run it" "There isn't time to get a lawyer now to make out the papers; but whenever you fetch one I'll do it" "I'll get one to-day, and you'll sign the papers this evening. In my opinion by that time the bank'll be shut up for good, and you're a fool for your pains. You're simply throwing away what gold you have."
We'll have to send Leary back to the coast for a sergeant and a squad of troopers; and then the bank'll have to be told. It won't be safe to plank all that gold in a bank at once without telling them it's coming." Peters laughed. "There's no team-load," he said. "The boy has been pulling your leg.
You expected to raise money on the glue-works, did you?" At that, Adams's agitation increased prodigiously. "How'd you THINK I expected to pay you?" he said. "Did you think I expected to get money on my own old bones?" He slapped himself harshly upon the chest and legs. "Do you think a bank'll lend money on a man's ribs and his broken-down old knee-bones? They won't do it!
He was mindful of the fact that a similar sum had been stolen the day before from the truck driver. "There's a private bank here," answered Sautee frowningly. "He let me have it, but he's already sent to the county seat for more cash which will come by auto express to-morrow, probably. Anyway, the bank'll get most of this back, so their cash won't be short long." Rathburn nodded.
"Three half-sisters of my father's," says Dick, "as old as three men each of 'em, and not a notion of dying among 'em! They'll see me out, I'll swear!" It was then that that idle money had been tactfully referred to. "I'll knock better interest out of you, Major, than the bank'll give me!" said the Big Doctor, jovially. "I want no security from you! Your word "
"Will you take my check," she said quickly, "for fifty, and we'll shoot it all?" Her voice was a little unsteady and her hand shook as she reached to the money. Clark exchanged an uncertain but alarmed glance with Joe Ewing. Taylor shot again. He had Nancy's check. "How 'bout another?" she said wildly. "Jes' any bank'll do money everywhere as a matter of fact."
Step easy er you're goin' to start the whole darn works. Onct it gits to movin', half that bank'll go." Sprudell was nearly a third of the way across when the shale began to move, slowly at first, with a gentle rattle, then faster. He gave a shout of terror and floundered, panic-stricken, where he stood. The old man danced in frenzy: "Job in your heels and run like hell!"
"Can you imagine the fit the receiving teller at my little old bank'll throw when I slip this across as if it meant nothing to me?" And then she caught up one of Martin's hands and did the most disconcerting thing of all. She pressed it to her lips and kissed it. Martin got as red as a beet. "Well, then, good-by," he said, making for the door. "Good luck." "Good-by and good luck to you.
"Faix it did," said Larry, emphatically; "and they shall have it, too; here, waiter, a brandy-smash and a cheroot, and be aisy as to the cost; I think me bank'll stand it." "What say you to a stroll!" said Ned, rising. "By all means," replied Captain Bunting, jumping up, and laying down his pipe.
