Just write me out a quit-claim for that ground." "Well, well," beamed Bunker pushing up his reading glasses and counting over the roll of bills, "this will make quite a stake for Drusilla. Come in, Mr. Russell, come in!" He held the door open and Denver entered, blinking his eyes as he came in from the glare.
"Well, John," the good soul demanded, when her daughter had finished speaking: "What's wrong with that prescription?" "By George, that young man has a head on his shoulders. His reasoning is absolutely flawless. However, I am not going to pay him any half-million dollars. I might, in a pinch, consider paying him half that, but " "Would a quit-claim deed be worth half a million to you, Dad?"
"Sure!" replied Wiley, rising up from where he was seated, "I'll wait for anything, except my supper. Where's the best place to eat in town, now?" "Why, at Mrs. Huff's," returned Blount in surprise. "But about this quit-claim, perhaps a check would do as well?" "What, are the Huffs still here?" exclaimed Wiley, starting off. "Why, I thought "
It was not strange that the two sovereigns should decline the proposition; for we well know the secret aspirations of each, and it was natural that they should be unwilling to sign a formal quit-claim, however improbable it might be that those dreams should ever become a reality. Both powers, however, united in a guarantee of the truce.
By grab, if I thought that Mormon-faced old devil was thinking of jumping my ground " He went off into uneasy mutterings and wrote out the quit-claim absently; then they went up together and, after going over the lines, Denver relocated the mine and named it the Silver Treasure. "Think you guessed right, do you?" inquired Bunker with a grin. "Well, I hope you make a million.
"I want that contract," returned Wunpost doggedly but Judson Eells shook his head. "How about ten thousand dollars?" suggested Eells at last, "for a quit-claim on the Stinging Lizard Mine?" "Nothing doing!" flashed back Wunpost, "I don't sign no quit-claim nor no other paper, for that matter. You might have it treated with invisible ink, or write something else in, up above.
"Zingo!" he grinned and then he bit his lip, for the Widow was quick to take offence. "Of course," he went on, "this doesn't affect your stock if you should ever get it back from Blount. That is still your property, according to law, and this quit-claim just guarantees me free entry and possession. We'll get Virginia to witness the agreement."
"Kidnap him, and take him into the mountains, and keep him there with a gun at his head, until he signs a quit-claim. I've located the very spot to hide him in Coyote Springs. It's practically inaccessible, a natural hiding-place." Rexhill turned a shade or two paler as he nervously brushed some cigar ashes from his vest and sleeve.
If he had procured his option, under cover of her blindness, and obtained her quit-claim to the mine, she would at least have had the satisfaction of obtaining her own terms and she would have the twenty thousand to spend. It was maddening, disgusting, when she thought it over, that he had turned out to be Holman's son, and she never quite forgave Virginia for dinning the fact into her ears.
"But for the Lord's sake, Virginia, don't tell what I said to your mother! It won't make any difference, because she's given me a quit-claim but what's the use of having any trouble?" "Yes, sure enough!" murmured Virginia, with cutting sarcasm. "She might even demand her rights!" "Well, maybe you like to fight!" burst out Wiley angrily, "and if you do, all right hop to it!
