As Your Honor will observe, although the reports were made independently and under orders to seek nothing but the facts, they agree substantially in this: that, within an extension of its end-lines, the Old Juan claim is the true apex of the entire Tecolote ore body." He handed over the report and sat down in triumph, while Rimrock's lawyers all objected at once.
Now he might step in and get a judgment against you and tie up every share you've got; but all he wants and he told me so himself is four thousand shares of Tecolote. That gives him control and, I'll tell you frankly, he's going to get those shares." "Oh, he is, is he?" said Rimrock and then sat silent while Buckbee bit the tip from a cigar.
"Oh, no!" she murmured sinking against him with a shudder, "don't go and leave me alone. I need your help, Rimrock! My whole fortune is involved. It's either that or give back the stock." "What stock?" asked Rimrock, "that two thousand Tecolote? Well, you just give that to me! Have you really got it, or are you just stalling? Let me look at it and I'll see you through hell!"
In days gone by, at roulette or faro, or in frontier poker games, he had learned to play with big chances against him and, compared to them, Wall Street was safe. The money that he staked was less than six months' earnings of his share of the Tecolote Mine; and from the brief notes of L. W., who was acting as his agent, there was more of it piling up.
Following "Their Yesterdays" the next book in order of publication was "The Eyes of the World," published in the fall of 1914. It was written in the same arrow-weed study on Tecolote Rancho in the Imperial Valley where he wrote "The Calling of Dan Matthews" and "The Winning of Barbara Worth."
She was far out on the desert when darkness fell, rushing south on the other road to Tecolote. Within sight of the camp she put out her lamps and, turning her machine out of the road, she crept along until it was hidden from view, then leapt out and started for the butte. It stood against the stars, huge and sinister in its black bulk, and she shuddered as she took the lone trail.
His name alone in connection with the Tecolote would send its stock up a thousand per cent. And what a stroke of business that was to make a feeder for his railroad while he built up a great property for himself.
"You're right, I'm a sucker; and it's a shame to take my money. But I don't want any Tecolote Commons." "Why not?" she challenged, laughing gayly at his vehemence. "Are you afraid to play the game?" "Not so you'd notice it," answered Rimrock grimly, "but I never play the other fellow's game. The Tecolote game is going to be played in Arizona, where my friends can see fair play.
The fear did not lessen as the night drew on and finally brightened into another day. When the sun flared up out of the flatlands lying beyond Tecolote the wounded man at Struve's hotel lay as he had done all night giving no sign to tell whether he was life's or death's. The eyes of San Juan were upon Caleb Patten throughout the night and during the long hours of the following day.
There lay the apex of the Tecolote claims, fifteen hundred lateral feet that covered the main body of the lode; and with the instinct of a mine pirate McBain had sought the high ground.
