The mining engineer, concluding tlmt Uncle Charley was about, to depart upon it long, dlsjiilnteii conversational pilgrimage adverted to the subject of his visit. "The (Treat Commoner belongs to the ages now," he auggwted politely. "Suppose you and 1 discuss present business. I think you’re inclined to take a pessimistic view of life, Mr. Canfield. 11l bet you it hundred dollars you’ll be spitting at that stove ten years from now.” ."1 was never a man to take advantage of youth an’ innrreeneo, son." "Very well, we’ll not bet. But. I’m here to tell you that little old ten percent royalty is nnghtly liable to make your declining years very comfortabb’.” Uncle Charley glanced around his dingy, ill-smellii’g cabin. "Well, I ain't complainin’ none. 1 got all my grub in for the winter, my subscrip Hon Jo the Minin’ Age and the Scientific American Is paid up a year in advance, an' I'm two years behind my realin" of the popular magazines. 1 got my winter wood cut an' stowed in the wodo-shed ami 1 reckon iny pants 'll last t+tl spring: I got a ton o' oafs and three ton o’ alfalfy hay on hand for my mules 'n 1 don’t give a root in hell whether school keeps or not. I’m independenter 'n a hawg on ice. If I can’t stand utxj can set down." "Well, of course, the independent man is always rich, no matter how poor he is, but as a mining man you've got to admit—” “I'm that independent I don't have to admit anything,” Uncle Charley shrilled. “Now you’re talkin’ about this here royalty, an’ it 1 don't shot ybu up there’ll b P no end to it —like combin’ your hair with a hoop. Suppose after you’ve soshed that hill section down into' Honey Valley, you don't find enough gold in your riffles to load this pipe. Where's my royalty? An' where’s my section o’ land?” \ “Why, that’s the glftnble you take, Mr. Canfield.” "Call me Uncle Charley,” the curb ou/old man commanded. “I ain't takin’ no gamble—at my age. I reckon that section stays where it is.” “Very well, Uncle Charley, have it your own way. We’re through discussing royalty. What will you for that section if w e agree to buy it outright?" “Uncle Charley sat straight up. "Whoa, Nellie!” Jie erted softly. "Steady, gal! Don’t kick the buggy, to pieces.” o “We’ll do all the gambling," John Thurlow urged. "One hundred an* fifty thousand dollars, United States gold, of the present standard of weight an' fineness, young feller. Take it or leave lit,” Uncle Charley barked. "My price is net.” 41 "Sold!" cried John Thurlow quietly. (TO HK CONTINUED) Copyright 1926 Peter B. Kyne by arrangement with King Features Syndicate, Inc
