Buck's serious expression relaxed and he promptly launched into a detailed explanation of his scheme. When he had made everything clear Bud's face lit up and he regarded his friend admiringly.

"They's so, dang many things he MIGHT be aimin' to do, that I ain't been right easy in my mind the last day or two, and I'm tellin' ye so. 'S like a storm I kin smell trouble two days off; that's mebby why I'm still alive an' able to fork a boss.

Nearly as I can get the round figures of it, about twelve million." "Awful awful! By Cripes! that man Blythe that done himself up the other night had the right of it.
