"Rope 'em in," advised Newmark. "It's Saturday, and we don't want to let things simmer over Sunday, if we can help it." About eleven o'clock a clerk of the Welton Lumber Co. entered Mr. Welton's private office to deliver to Orde a note. "This just came by special messenger," he explained. Orde, with an apology, tore it open. It was from Heinzman, and requested an immediate interview.
"That was luck," Welton's voice broke in on Bob's contemplation. "It's just getting dark. Couldn't have done it without the dynamite. It splinters up a little timber, but we save money, even at that." "Billy doesn't carry that with the other supplies, does he?" asked Bob. "Sure," said Welton; "rolls it up in the bedding, or something.
Even now we will be selling a few shake trees, and some small lots, and occasionally a bigger piece to some of the lumbermen who own adjoining timber. We've got to know what we have to sell. For instance, there's eighty acres in there surrounded by Welton's timber. When he comes to cut, it might pay us and him to sell the ripe trees off that eighty."
Toward the end of the season they had worked well past the main ridge on which were situated Welton's operations and the Service Headquarters. Several deep cañons and rocky peaks, by Thorne's instructions, they skipped over as only remotely available as a timber supply.
His black eyes snapped, his hair bristled, he arose from his chair and gesticulated. "Every year I geev heem three ship! Three ship!" he repeated, thrusting three stubby fingers at Welton's face. "Three little ship! I stay all summer! He never say permit. Thees year he kip me out." "Give any reason?" asked Welton. "He say my ship feed over the line in gov'ment land." "Did they?"
Welton's lands are in Granite County?" "Yes," said Bob. "Well," said Oldham vaguely, "I hope you have enjoyed your little outing." He turned away. "Now, how the deuce should anybody know about me, or that I am with Welton, or take the trouble to write about it?" He mulled over this for some time.
