There was no cloth on the table, but it was invitingly laid out with canned fruit, coffee, hot flapjacks and a big lake trout, for in the western bush most men can cook. "You must help yourselves while we get sail upon the boat," said Vane cheerily. "The saloon's at your disposal my partner and I have the forecastle.

"You know I can't figger out jest exactly what you are?" she admitted smilingly. "Well, try . . ." he suggested, slightly colouring under her persistent gaze. "Well, you ain't one o' us." "No?" "Oh, I can tell I can spot my man every time. I tell you, keepin' saloon's a great educator."

Parr got a corporation lawyer named Langmaid he's another one of your millionnaire crooks to fix it up and get around the law and keep him out of jail.
