"Well, you're going to have time enough to get used to it," said Welton drily. The Stone Creek fire indeed proved not to amount to much, whereby sheer chance upheld Henry Plant. The following morning the fire fighters returned; leaving, however, two of their number to "guard the line" until the danger should be over.
The coloured porter stuck his head in to see what this tremendous rolling noise might be, grinned sympathetically, and withdrew. "What's the matter with you!" cried Bob, exasperated. "Shut up, and be sensible." Welton wiped his eyes. "That, son, is Carleton P. Baker. Just say Carleton P. Baker to a Californian." "Well, I can't, for four days, anyway. Who is he?"
He went on deliberately to explain the waste in camp garbage, the price of young pigs, the cost of their transportation, the average selling price of pork, the rate of weight increase per month, and the number possible to maintain. He further showed that, turned at large, they would require no care. Amused still at the man's earnestness, Welton tried to trip him up with questions.
Don't tell any of your people that he's the son of a friend. Let him stand on his own feet. If he's any good we'll work him into the old game. Just give him a job, and keep an eye on him for me, to see how well he does." "Jack, the job's his," said Welton. "But it won't do him much good, because it won't last long.
We can raise hell with Welton and Orde and a half-dozen others, and we will, if they push us too hard but that don't keep us the Basin if this crazy reformer testifies and pulls in Welton to corroborate him. I'd rather keep the Basin. If we could stop Orde " "I'll stop him," said Oldham. "I hope," said Baker impressively, "that you have more than one string to your bow.
Welton laughed openly at Bob's growing interest in these matters. "You're the first man I ever saw read any of those things," said he in regard to the government reports. "I once read one," he went on in delightful contradiction to his first statement. "It told how to cut timber. When you cut down a tree, you pile up the remains in a neat pile and put a little white picket fence around them.
The two men met at the Auditorium Annex, where they promptly adjourned to the Palm Room and a little table. "Now, Jack," the lumberman replied to his friend's expostulation, "I know just as well as you do that the kid isn't capable yet of handling a proposition on his own hook. It's just for that reason that I put him in charge." "And Welton isn't an Irish name, either," murmured Jack Orde.
"Lucky, your friend Baker's power project is only four miles away; we can use his 'phone." But at the edge of town they met Lejeune. "I got de ship in pasture," he told Bob. "But hees good for not more dan one wik." "Look here, Leejune," said Welton. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to look up another range for this summer. Of course, we'll pay any loss or damage in the matter.
"Thanks," responded the operative, taking the proffered chair. "As I have come here for the purpose of making an examination into this case, I shall require all the information that is possible to obtain." "Very well," said Mr. Silby. "Now, what do you desire first?" "A full statement as to how the robbery was committed," answered the detective, promptly. "Mr. Welton," said Mr.
It don't take but one man to count cattle, but three extra cowboys comes mighty handy in the timber." "Would Wright bribe him, do you suppose?" Welton stopped short. "Let me tell you one thing about old Simeon, Bob," said he. "He owns more land than any other man in California. He got it all from the government.
