Strona 42 z 439

Your eyes are asking whys mighty loud, my friend; and my answer

is that there's a man up there mebbe who has got to hide Struve

if he shows up. That's only a guess, but it looks good to me.

This man was the brains of the whole outfit, and folks say that

he's got cached the whole haul the gang made from that S. P.

hold-up. What's more, he scattered gold so liberal that his name

wasn't even mentioned at the trial. He's a big man now, a

millionaire copper king and into gold-mines up to the hocks. In

the Southwest those things happen. It doesn't always do to look

too closely at a man's past.
