In his time he had mushed in Alaska, fought in Mexico, driven stage at the Nevada gold-fields, and wandered into many a lawless camp. Always he had answered the call of adventure regardless of where it led. His thoughts were fugitive, inconsequent. Now they had to do with Daisy Ellington, the New York chorus girl whose mobile, piquant face was helping to make the Lunar reels popular.

Mebbe they'll get here. Mebbe they won't." "Then you don't think it's worth trying?" "Sure I do. Every little helps. It might make Pasquale sit steady in the boat till I get a chance to pull off something." When Daisy Ellington heard of the plan she went straight to Yeager. "What's this I hear about you committing suicide?" she demanded. "News to me, compadre," smiled the puncher.
