Try to raise the yield for them, yes. But not a governor. If they insist on that we can throw them out, and keep them out." "I don't think so. They'd kill every one of us first." John Tegan sat up, and looked Pete Farnam straight in the eye. "In that case, Peter, it might just be better if they did." Pete stared at him for a moment and slowly stood up. "All right," he said.
Farnam said and glanced at Agatha. "But did you travel in those clothes, my dear? Where did you buy them?" "At a bush store," said Agatha, smiling. "They were not as cheap as they look, and my others had worn to rags. Besides, I hadn't much time, and it wasn't worth while to bother about my dress." "You don't seem to bother about much," George remarked.
Each of the men had a gun. "You'd better clear the road," the captain snapped. "We're driving through." Pete Farnam stepped forward. He pointed to Nathan. "Take your friend there back to the ship. Leave him there. We don't want him here." Nathan turned to Varga. "I told you," he said viciously. "Too big for their boots. Go on through."
"We have fixed up this lot in the packing shed; my regular hands leave me in winter," Farnam replied, indicating a wooden building at some distance from the house. "However, we'll go home. There are some accounts I must examine before I start for Montreal." They went on, and when after supper Mrs.

I've pushed through; but it has put some marks on me, and I'm most afraid my sister's going to be hurt." "You're taking it for granted she won't find the lode," Farnam resumed. "Shucks!" said George with scorn.
"She's a pretty good business woman, but doesn't understand that the more you spend on your job the more you get. Anyhow, you ought to get more, but I admit you're sometimes badly stung." Then he turned to his wife. "I must go up and see the shippers in Montreal; in fact, now you have Agatha with you, I think I'll start to-morrow." "Very well," said Mrs. Farnam.
"Reports indicate that packers won't find much surplus for shipping in the United States, and prices will be high. In fact, I rather think my speculation is justified. Although clearing new ground and buying young trees made a drain on my capital " "Don't tell him he's enterprising! He's too adventurous," interrupted Mrs. Farnam, who wanted to give George a lead.
One gets at this kind of work in winter when nothing much can be done, and I must be ready to break new soil for planting in the spring." "You are spending a good deal of money," Mrs. Farnam interrupted. "You haven't been paid for the last shipments to England yet." "Mabel's cautious," Farnam remarked to Agatha.
After a little good-humored banter, Agatha took the pistol and Farnam went to his office at the other end of the house. Next day he started for Montreal, and at night Mrs. Farnam made Agatha come with her while she examined the fastenings of the doors and windows. The house was low and the roof of the veranda in front reached nearly to the second floor.
