Do you see? I hadn't had the telegram five minutes, when a messenger brought me a letter from Markel curtly informing me that I would have to meet my note to-morrow morning. I can't meet it.
"Oh, it's a long story too long to tell. Thurl was at the bottom of those accidents. He knew as well as I did that the mine was rich better than I did, for that matter, for we discovered before we ran him out of Alaska that he had made secret borings on the property. But what I did not know until a few hours ago was that he had actually uncovered what we uncovered only yesterday the mother lode.
A man by the name of Thurl, Jason T. Thurl, another mining engineer, a steamer acquaintance, was out there at the time he was a partner of Markel's, though I didn't know it then. I started to work the mine. It didn't pan out. I dropped nearly every cent. Then I struck a small vein that temporarily recouped me, and supplied the necessary funds with which to go ahead for a while.
Thurl, who had tried to buy the mine out from under my option in the first place, repeatedly then tried to buy it from me at a ridiculous figure. I refused. He persisted. I refused I was confident, I KNEW I had one of the richest properties in Alaska." Wilbur paused. A little row of glistening drops had gathered on his forehead.
