“
None
of
my
friends
along
,
”
said
Wessner
.
“
Nobody
knew
I
came
but
Black
,
I
—
I
mean
a
friend
of
mine
.
If
you
want
to
hear
sense
and
act
with
reason
,
he
can
see
you
later
,
but
it
ain
’
t
necessary
.
We
can
make
all
the
plans
needed
.
The
trick
’
s
so
dead
small
and
easy
.
”
“
Must
be
if
you
have
the
engineering
of
it
,
”
said
Freckles
.
But
he
heard
,
with
a
sigh
of
relief
,
that
they
were
alone
.
Wessner
was
impervious
.
“
You
just
bet
it
is
!
Why
,
only
think
,
Freckles
,
slavin
’
away
at
a
measly
little
thirty
dollars
a
month
,
and
here
is
a
chance
to
clear
five
hundred
in
a
day
!
You
surely
won
’
t
be
the
fool
to
miss
it
!
”
“
And
how
was
you
proposing
for
me
to
stale
it
?
”
inquired
Freckles
.
“
Or
am
I
just
to
find
it
laying
in
me
path
beside
the
line
?
”
“
That
’
s
it
,
Freckles
,
”
blustered
the
Dutchman
,
“
you
’
re
just
to
find
it
.
You
needn
’
t
do
a
thing
.
You
needn
’
t
know
a
thing
.
You
name
a
morning
when
you
will
walk
up
the
west
side
of
the
swamp
and
then
turn
round
and
walk
back
down
the
same
side
again
and
the
money
is
yours
.
Couldn
’
t
anything
be
easier
than
that
,
could
it
?
”
“
Depinds
entirely
on
the
man
,
”
said
Freckles
.
The
lilt
of
a
lark
hanging
above
the
swale
beside
them
was
not
sweeter
than
the
sweetness
of
his
voice
.
“
To
some
it
would
seem
to
come
aisy
as
breathing
;
and
to
some
,
wringin
’
the
last
drop
of
their
heart
’
s
blood
couldn
’
t
force
thim
!
I
’
m
not
the
man
that
goes
into
a
scheme
like
that
with
the
blindfold
over
me
eyes
,
for
,
you
see
,
it
manes
to
break
trust
with
the
Boss
;
and
I
’
ve
served
him
faithful
as
I
knew
.
You
’
ll
have
to
be
making
the
thing
very
clear
to
me
understanding
.
”
“
It
’
s
so
dead
easy
,
”
repeated
Wessner
,
“
it
makes
me
tired
of
the
simpleness
of
it
.
You
see
there
’
s
a
few
trees
in
the
swamp
that
’
s
real
gold
mines
.
There
’
s
three
especial
.
Two
are
back
in
,
but
one
’
s
square
on
the
line
.
Why
,
your
pottering
old
Scotch
fool
of
a
Boss
nailed
the
wire
to
it
with
his
own
hands
!
He
never
noticed
where
the
bark
had
been
peeled
,
or
saw
what
it
was
.
If
you
will
stay
on
this
side
of
the
trail
just
one
day
we
can
have
it
cut
,
loaded
,
and
ready
to
drive
out
at
night
.
Next
morning
you
can
find
it
,
report
,
and
be
the
busiest
man
in
the
search
for
us
.
We
know
where
to
fix
it
all
safe
and
easy
.
Then
McLean
has
a
bet
up
with
a
couple
of
the
gang
that
there
can
’
t
be
a
raw
stump
found
in
the
Limberlost
.
There
’
s
plenty
of
witnesses
to
swear
to
it
,
and
I
know
three
that
will
.
There
’
s
a
cool
thousand
,
and
this
tree
is
worth
all
of
that
,
raw
.
Say
,
it
’
s
a
gold
mine
,
I
tell
you
,
and
just
five
hundred
of
it
is
yours
.
There
’
s
no
danger
on
earth
to
you
,
for
you
’
ve
got
McLean
that
bamboozled
you
could
sell
out
the
whole
swamp
and
he
’
d
never
mistrust
you
.
What
do
you
say
?
”
Freckles
’
soul
was
satisfied
.
“
Is
that
all
?
”
he
asked
.
“
No
,
it
ain
’
t
,
”
said
Wessner
.
