No Sunday school stuff, see? We're going to fight this out with hay hooks, and when I come back with his hair don't blame me if old Eells makes a roar. I'm going to stick him, see; and I'm not going to stick him once I'm going to stick him three times, till he squeals like a pig, because that's what he did to me!
But now it's all built don't tell him how you did it; because I want him to have a little happiness. He's been working so long and this came, as he said, just like an act of Providence; so let's not tell him, and when he's taken out his ore he can pay Mr. Eells, if he wishes to." "If he's crazy!" corrected Wunpost. "What, pay that crook? Say, do you see those two men on the trail?
Reconvening immediately as a, Board of Directors, Judson Eells was elected President, John C. Calhoun, Vice-President and Phillip F. Lapham Secretary-treasurer after which an assessment of ten cents a share was levied upon all the stock. Exit John C. Calhoun and Wilhelmina Campbell, stripped of their stock and all faith in mankind.
"You think you're so smart," he went on tauntingly, "now come and trail me to my mine. If you find it you can have it it ain't even staked but they ain't one of you dares to follow me. I ain't afraid of Eells and his hired yaller dog, and I ain't afraid of you! I'll take you all on old Eells and all the rest of you and I ain't afraid to show you the ore!"
"I located it for myself and Wilhelmina Campbell, and then we gave Dusty Rhodes a third." "That's beside the point," answered Lapham briefly. "If you were the original and sole discoverer, Mr. Eells is entitled to one-half, and any agreements which you have made with others will have to be modified accordingly."
And, being as I had to locate it somewhere well, the chances are Eells was correct." "Oh, that's just the way you talk!" she burst out incredulously; "did you honestly do it on purpose?" "Well, I guess I did!" boasted Wunpost. "I just stopped over in Blackwater and told Mr. Eells all about it. So don't be worried on my account and he built you a mighty good road."
His eyebrows were too black, his lips too grim, his jaw too firmly set; and his haggard eyes looked like those of a woman who is about to burst into hysterical tears. It was Pisen-face Lynch, and as Wunpost caught his eye he gave way to a mocking smirk. "Ah, good morning, Mr. Eells," he called out cordially, "good morning, good morning Mr. Lynch!
A guarded suggestion had come from Judson Eells that he might still be persuaded to buy his mine, but Campbell would not even name a price; and now the store-keeper had sent him notice that he had discounted his bill at the bank.
But look, here's the idea Judson Eells is badly bent on account of what he lost at Wunpost, and he's crazy to organize a company and market the treasury stock. We'll go in with him, see, and as soon as we get our stock we'll peddle it for what we can get. That'll net us a few thousand and you can take your share and help the old man build his road."
Is there anything in your contract that gives you a cut on everything I steal?" "Why why, no," replied Eells, "but that isn't the point I asked you where you got it. If it's stolen, that's one thing, but if you've located another mine " "I haven't!" put in Wunpost, "you've broke me of that. The only way I can keep anything now is to steal it.
