The
ex
-
engineer
promptly
became
voluble
,
assertive
,
doggedly
emphatic
.
“
Smartest
little
tad
in
all
Tulare
County
,
and
more
fun
!
A
regular
whole
show
in
herself
.
”
“
And
the
hops
?
”
inquired
the
other
.
“
Bully
,
”
declared
Dyke
,
with
the
good
-
natured
man
’
s
readiness
to
talk
of
his
private
affairs
to
any
one
who
would
listen
.
“
Bully
.
I
’
m
dead
sure
of
a
bonanza
crop
by
now
.
The
rain
came
JUST
right
.
I
actually
don
’
t
know
as
I
can
store
the
crop
in
those
barns
I
built
,
it
’
s
going
to
be
so
big
.
That
foreman
of
mine
was
a
daisy
.
Jim
,
I
’
m
going
to
make
money
in
that
deal
.
After
I
’
ve
paid
off
the
mortgage
—
you
know
I
had
to
mortgage
,
yes
,
crop
and
homestead
both
,
but
I
can
pay
it
off
and
all
the
interest
to
boot
,
lovely
,
—
well
,
and
as
I
was
saying
,
after
all
expenses
are
paid
off
I
’
ll
clear
big
money
,
m
’
son
.
Yes
,
sir
.
I
KNEW
there
was
boodle
in
hops
.
You
know
the
crop
is
contracted
for
already
.
Sure
,
the
foreman
managed
that
.
He
’
s
a
daisy
.
Chap
in
San
Francisco
will
take
it
all
and
at
the
advanced
price
.
I
wanted
to
hang
on
,
to
see
if
it
wouldn
’
t
go
to
six
cents
,
but
the
foreman
said
,
’
No
,
that
’
s
good
enough
.
’
So
I
signed
.
Ain
’
t
it
bully
,
hey
?
”
“
Then
what
’
ll
you
do
?
”
“
Well
,
I
don
’
t
know
.
I
’
ll
have
a
lay
-
off
for
a
month
or
so
and
take
the
little
tad
and
mother
up
and
show
’
em
the
city
—
’
Frisco
—
until
it
’
s
time
for
the
schools
to
open
,
and
then
we
’
ll
put
Sid
in
the
seminary
at
Marysville
.
Catch
on
?
”
“
I
suppose
you
’
ll
stay
right
by
hops
now
?
”
“
Right
you
are
,
m
’
son
.
I
know
a
good
thing
when
I
see
it
.
There
’
s
plenty
others
going
into
hops
next
season
.
I
set
’
em
the
example
.
Wouldn
’
t
be
surprised
if
it
came
to
be
a
regular
industry
hereabouts
.
I
’
m
planning
ahead
for
next
year
already
.
I
can
let
the
foreman
go
,
now
that
I
’
ve
learned
the
game
myself
,
and
I
think
I
’
ll
buy
a
piece
of
land
off
Quien
Sabe
and
get
a
bigger
crop
,
and
build
a
couple
more
barns
,
and
,
by
George
,
in
about
five
years
time
I
’
ll
have
things
humming
.
I
’
m
going
to
make
MONEY
,
Jim
