Sandy Mackintavers caught a murmur6 at his elbow and turned to find Deadoak addressing him in lowered tones.
"You're the mining gent, ain't you?"
"Aiblins, now," hesitated Sandy, "ye'll not consider——"
"Tut, tut!" exclaimed Deadoak, winking7. "I understand things, pardner; a friend o' mine over to Meteorite8 sent me word that two gents were on rout9 here with a minin' sharp. Now, let me warn you not to give ear to these here desert rats all around, but step over to one side with me. I got a confidential10 communication——"
"And ye won't talk mines to nobody else first?"
"Nary a soul," returned Mackintavers. "Hey, Hobbs! You goin' to come out o' that place?"
Bill Hobbs scratched his head and considered his position.
"If you guys will drag the corpse12 out of the way," and he gestured toward the flivver. "I'm goin' to give this joint13 the once over, Mac. Join you over to the hotel later. Gee14! You ought to see this joint, Mac! Where did Doc go to?"
Willing hands removed the flivver from the doorway15. Deadoak, being rebuffed by Sandy, remained to scrape an acquaintance with Bill Hobbs and elucidate16 the kidnapping of Murray; while Piute Tomkins, taking in hand his guest, performed the same office to Mackintavers, en route to the hotel.
That evening, Deadoak sidled cautiously to Mackintavers's room, knocked, and slid inside as the door opened.
"Ah!" he exclaimed, breathing more freely. "Ding my dogs, but I had a stiff time eludin' that pirootin' son of a gun, Piute Tomkins! He suspects somethin'."
"So do I," said Mackintavers, grimly eyeing his guest. He did not know that Deadoak had just come from a long and involved conference with Piute, wherein property had changed hands and other arrangements had been made; he did not need to know all this, however, to realize that his visitor had not come for philanthropic purposes.
Deadoak, blissfully unconscious that he was introducing a new game and a cold deck to the gentleman who had invented that game and patented the cold deck, sank into a chair and blinked solemnly at the lamp.
He produced a battered17 corncob pipe, filled and lighted it, then straightened out his legs along the floor and blew a cloud of smoke.
"Me the same," struck in Sandy. "Aiblins, now, I'd wager20 there ain't a man in this country who couldn't develop a promising21 hole if he had money. Go ahead."
Slightly daunted22 by the grimly sophisticated front of his host, Deadoak took a new pull at his pipe and began afresh.
"It's a right queer yarn23, this story I got on my mind," he observed dreamily. "Up north of here is the Dead Mountains, and it's a good name. If there's anything deader'n them hills, I'd admire to see it! Ye go out the good road along to where Piute an' me has got pear orchards24 an' wells. After that, it ain't no road—it's an excuse. I don't reckon anybody has traveled that way sinct ol' Hassayamp Perkins got stove in by the cave-in."
"Two year. I ain't been that-a way myself, and nobody else ain't got right good reasons for doin' it, except that there crazy chink. He went that-a way this mornin', and he ain't got back yet. Another hill fell on him I reckon. After ye get through the marble ca?on, there ain't only volcanic26 ash and rock till ye come into the basin. I been over in Death Valley an' the Aztec Fryin' Pan, and they don't hardly show up alongside that basin to speak of. It ain't big, however, and from there ye go into Morongo Valley."
"Sounds lively," commented Mackintavers without great interest.
"It is. If ye take two steps in any direction, there comes such a buzzin' ye can't hear a man shout at ye twenty feet away—that's how many rattlers there is! Well, as I was sayin', Hassayamp homesteaded Morongo Valley. It ain't but a few hundred acres, and he'd located a spring o' water big enough for all he wanted—he didn't wash much, Hassayamp didn't."
The shaggy brows of Mackintavers were bent27 upon the speaker in a silent but forbidding fashion that somehow discouraged the careful narrative28 which Deadoak had built up in his mind—a narrative with cunning discursions and excursions. He decided29 to throw it all overboard and to reach the point at once.
"As I was sayin', Hassayamp homesteaded that valley to keep out other folks——"
"'Twouldn't protect his mineral rights," shot in Sandy shrewdly. "Mineral rights belong to the state. Did he homestead the valley an' lease the mineral rights?"
"I was comin' to that if ye give me time," said Deadoak plaintively30. "Yep, he done so. Reg'lar five-year lease. Now, Hassayamp was Piute Tomkins' father-in-law by marriage, savvy31? Well, when the shaft32 fell in and wiped out Hassayamp, Piute fell heir to the homestead, which same had been proved up all correct, and the mine."
"Piute owns it now, then?"
"He do. I'm comin' to that if ye give me time. But here's somethin' Piute don't know! A spell before Hassayamp got stove in, he come to town needin' money. Piute Tomkins, whose repytation for pinchin' the eagle into a sparrer ain't laid over by no one this side o' Phoenix34, didn't have no faith in him; but I did. So Hassayamp comes to me, quiet, and gives me samples an' eloocidates how he'd got a road up to the mine and had rigged up a hand crusher and done other work there, and needed money to see her through. I give him five hundred an' took out a mortgage on the hull35 prop'ty."
"Certain! I took in everything, you can bet!" Deadoak tapped his pocket.
"You got the papers to prove it, of course?"
"Comin' to that if ye give me time. Ding my dogs, ain't you got no patience? Well, me an' Piute don't hitch37 extra well. After Hassayamp cashed in that-a way, Piute always figgered on takin' over the place, but he never got time. I figgered on takin' it over, but never got around to it, rightly, so let her drift. Piute don't know yet that I got that mortgage, which same can be foreclosed any time a-tall, it bein' two year old. So I got her sewed up plumb38 legal, ye see."
"I see." Sandy's shrewd eyes narrowed. If there was anyone in the Southwest who knew mining law down to the ground, it was Sandy Mackintavers. "What's in the mine?"
"Ding my dogs! I'm comin' to that now. Hassayamp got gold there—struck a lode39 o' quartz40 that runs about twenty-five to the ton and promises to get richer quick. Here's the samples he brung me."
Deadoak had now reached the apex42 of his elaborately conceived edifice43. Producing a buckskin bag, he emptied it on the table. Specimens44 of very average gold quartz littered the table. Among them were several pieces of a reddish crystalline substance.
"That don't look so bad," commented Sandy, fingering the quartz. He indicated the glassy red samples. "What's that stuff?"
"Volcanic bottle-glass, I reckon—how it come with the samples I dunno, unless Hassayamp thought it was pretty. This here quartz, like you say, ain't bad; I'd say it was pretty dinged good, if ye ask me!"
Sandy's eyes glinted at the red-glass specimens, and suspicion filled his heart.
"Well, I don't want to sell outright46. That there lode is goin' to pay big when she's developed. Looks to me, the way them specimens shape up, like she'd run into rotten quartz an' free gold; ye can see that for yourself. Sooner'n sell the hull thing, I'd hang on a spell longer. But here's my idee: You an' your pardners buy the mortgage an' give me a one-fourth int'rest in the mine. You'll have to foreclose the mortgage——"
"Is it recorded?"
"Sure—I recorded her after Hassayamp cashed in an' Piute got his title."
"Uh-huh."
"Bein's you'll have to settle Piute, an' develop her an' so forth47, I ain't aimin' to stick ye none. Say, you buy the mortgage for five hundred, go ahead an' foreclose her, keep the homestead if ye want it, and give me one-fourth int'rest in the mine. Ain't that fair?"
Sandy frowned thoughtfully. He knew that on this basis he was going to be stuck somewhere—and he believed that he knew exactly where. Deadoak was trying to unload upon him a worthless mortgage. Since that mortgage covered the mining rights and the improvements thereon—property of the state and not subject to mortgage—the document was illegal.
Mackintavers had made a fortune because he knew men, could probe into their minds and motives48, could find their weak points and utilize49 them. He had lost that fortune because he had tackled the wrong man, and he had no intention of repeating the mistake. He sized up Deadoak for exactly what that gentleman was—a shiftless desert rat planning to take in the innocent stranger, without any very deep or well-laid plot. It aroused all the predatory instinct in Sandy. Forgotten were his virtuous50 resolves and high aspirations51. Before his mind's eye unfolded a simple but beautifully perfect scheme by which he might grab this property entire.
Being tempted52, he fell. He could not well be blamed, for those red-glass samples on the table, those carelessly lumped pieces of "volcanic bottle-glass," showed the richest ruby53 silver Sandy had ever seen outside Nevada!
Sandy had already weighed the possibility of those samples not having come from Morongo Valley; he had decided that they had done so. He was staking his game now upon his judgment54 of Deadoak Stevens, who was palpably a weak stick. Swiftly weighing things, he decided that Deadoak was trying to rid himself of a worthless mortgage upon an ignorant stranger. And having so decided, he gambled.
"Aiblins, now," he said at length, "I'll tell ye! Want to look over the ground first, ye understand. I'll give ye ten dollars cash for that mortgage, and my note for the balance, ninety days, includin' in the note that the title is clear except for this mortgage, and that the samples ye got there come from this mine in question."
"A note?" exclaimed Deadoak in obvious dismay. "Why, I was figgerin' cash——"
"Well make the note thirty days, then. I ain't buyin' a mine from a set o' samples!"
"Oh, that's fair enough, I reckon," said Deadoak. "Sure, fair enough. You can pick up that lode five minutes after ye get there, and match up them samples with the outcrop! That quartz sticks out o' the surface, Mac! If Hassayamp hadn't got ambitious to strike the rotten streak55, he'd ha' been rich now."
"Where's the nearest State Land office?"
"Meteorite—that's the county seat, too," replied Deadoak, entirely56 unconscious that Sandy wanted that bit of information very, very badly. "Here's the mortgage—it ain't a mortgage, it's the other thing, the one that lets ye grab a place the minute payments ain't made, with no legal notice or nothin'. I had a cousin oncet that cleaned up a lot o' money over in California, usin' them things instead o' mortgages, so I used it too."
Deadoak handed over a much thumbed but entirely legal deed of trust, Mackintavers inspected it carefully, then calmly jotted57 down the details as to the location of the defunct58 Hassayamp's property.
"Aiblins, now," he said, rising, "I'll just run down and see Piute Tomkins' deed to that property—make sure it corresponds with this location, and is clear otherwise. Ye don't mind, o' course?"
Deadoak looked up in weak protest, then yielded.
"O' course not," he said with dignity. "Bein' a stranger, it's natural that ye should take precautions; but when ye've been here a spell, ye'll find out that——"
"Ain't doubtin' you," said Sandy. "Not a mite59! Now, you write out that note to suit yourself, but make it contingent60 upon the facts bein' as you say. And write out a conveyance61 o' that mortgage to me."
Leaving the room, Mackintavers slowly descended62 the stairs toward the office, where Piute Tomkins and Haywire Smithers were engaged at their nightly cribbage. He paused on the landing, to chuckle63 to himself.
"This mine is comin' cheap!" he reflected. "Volcanic bottle-glass—that's a good one! Aiblins, now, it's a gamble. Should I do it to-night or wait? If Deadoak had paid the least attention to the ruby silver—but he didn't! Not a mite. He was all afire over selling me that mortgage. I'll do it!"
He went on down stairs. His whole scheme of action, which promised to work with the beautiful precision of a machine, demanded that he conclude the deal to-night and get Bill Hobbs off to Meteorite within the hour. Reaching the hotel doorway, he saw a bobbing light across the street in the newspaper office. His voice lifted in a bellow64.
"Bill Hobbs! You there?"
"Want me?" came the reply. "Is Doc back? I been lookin' over this joint——"
"Get over here in a hurry. I need you."
Sandy turned to the office, where the two cribbage players were gazing up at him. He jerked his head slightly to Piute.
"Can I see ye a moment in private?"
"Certain, certain!" Piute rose with almost suspicious alacrity65. He had been waiting and praying for just such an invitation. "Step into the back office, will you?"
When the two men were alone in the inner office, with the lamp lighted and the door closed, Sandy Mackintavers brushed aside all preamble66 and came direct to the point. He held in his hand the deed of trust, which he had not returned to Deadoak.
"I understand ye have a homestead in Morongo Valley. I'll offer ye a hundred cash for it." Piute's leathery complexion67 changed color.
"A hundred!" he repeated in injured accents. "Why, that there homestead is the very pride an' joy of my heart! She sure is. I aim to lay out pears in that there Valley next Jan'ary. Got water, she has——"
"Here's a mortgage on the property," and Sandy brutally tapped the paper in his hand. "I've bought it. It's two years old. Sooner than foreclose, I'll buy your title. Aiblins, now, ye have a price?"
Piute looked a trifle staggered, but shook his head firmly.
"Nope. Nothin' under a thousand takes that there place! I dunno 'bout41 this mortgage—ain't heard of it——"
"Look at it," struck in Sandy. "I'll go to law and take the place if I want! Give ye two hundred cash, not a cent more."
"Nope," said Piute, bristling68. "I got a few rights my own self, and I know 'em! If it's the minerals ye're after——"
"Minerals!" exclaimed Mackintavers with scorn. "I'm done with mining. I want a homestead."
"Well," proposed Piute, "that's diff'rent. I'll give ye an option on the homestead for a thousand. Ye look her over, and if she's what ye want——"
"Nothing doing," rejoined Sandy. "I'm offering cash down, here an' now. And I won't listen to a thousand."
Piute hesitated. He had not glimpsed Sandy's roll of travelers' checks, these three pilgrims looked none too prosperous, and he began to think that he had set the ante too high.
"Tell ye what," he said, "I wa'n't figgerin' on selling, but cash is diff'rent. And this here mortgage thing—well, say seven hundred!"
Sandy thought of that ruby silver ore, and fished for his check book.
"You show me clear title an' give me a deed, and I'll give you five hundred. Take it or leave it! That's the last word out o' me."
"All right," said Piute.
Mackintavers signed up checks to that amount. Bill Hobbs arrived in time to join Haywire Smithers in witnessing the transfer, then accompanied Sandy to the upstairs room where Deadoak awaited them. Hobbs was mystified, but Sandy refused explanations.
"I brought Mr. Hobbs along," said Sandy, "as his money will be partially69 concerned. Aiblins, now, if you've got the note and conveyance made out——"
Mackintavers read over the papers carefully, while Deadoak explained the situation to the bewildered Bill Hobbs.
"Ten dollars cash—here ye are," said Mackintavers. He signed the note and returned it with a ten-dollar bill. "When Doc Murray gets back, we'll go out and look over the place."
"Suits me," and Deadoak sidled to the door. "Good luck, gents! See you later."
Left alone, Sandy Mackintavers pressed Willyum into a chair and set forth exactly what he had accomplished71. He took up the samples of ruby silver ore.
"I never saw anything to beat that ore—anywhere!" he said. "And these desert rats never heard of such a thing; all they know is gold. Can ye run a flivver, Bill?"
"I can't," said the bewildered Hobbs, "but I guess I can. Why?"
"You got to run back to Meteorite to-night—right now!"
"Shut up and listen!" roared Sandy. "Aiblins, now, ye think I'm a fool. Well, I'm not! If a minin' lease ain't worked, it lapses73; if proper reports ain't made, it lapses; if it's mortgaged, with improvements, it's illegal. Deadoak's deed o' trust ain't worth the paper it's written on, and he knew it!"
"But—but you bought it——"
"I gave him ten dollars as a free gift. That note, now—when he comes to collect, he'll get nothin'. But I got hold o' the mortgage to save trouble, that's all."
"You ain't goin' to pay the note?"
"Not hardly!" said Sandy with a grim smile. "My property will all belong to you an' the doc. I guess I can trust you men with it! Now, I bought Piute's deed in order to have clear title to everything. Savvy?"
"The state! The lease has lapsed75 long ago, and ain't been renewed. I'm goin' to write out a bill o' sale, givin' you an' Doc all I own, so Deadoak will have nothin' to sue on when he presents that note. After he's out o' the way, we'll settle things. You beat it for Meteorite right off, and when the land office opens in the morning—be there! Take out a mining lease on this entire Morongo Valley homestead land—in your own name. Get it for five years, under the precious metals clause. I'll convey the mortgage to you. Record that in your own name and let her go. We don't need to foreclose on that worthless paper. It simply clinches76 everything in our name, clear."
"But listen! Wait till Doc comes home and——"
"Wait for nothin'!" shouted Sandy furiously. "Aiblins, now, d'ye know what this Deadoak scoundrel will do? He knows as well as I do that his mortgage is illegal. About to-morrow night he'll be in Meteorite expecting to lease mining rights on that valley, meaning to stick us later on. Savvy that?"
"How d'you know none of these guys ain't done it already?" asked the worried and still bewildered Hobbs.
"I'm gambling77 on their general shiftlessness. Men of that stamp, not expecting us to arrive and not expecting me to buy the place without seeing it, will think they have lots of time to work the double cross. Now, ye'd better run some gas out o' my flivver and fill up your own tank."
"But this—this ain't on the square, is it?" protested Bill Hobbs weakly.
"On the square!" repeated Sandy, stifling78 his own doubts with a ferocious79 mien80. "Of course it is! I bought a worthless mortgage with a worthless note—ain't that even?"
Bill Hobbs declined to struggle further with the problem, and gave up.
Meantime, Deadoak Stevens was closeted below stairs with Piute Tomkins in the inner office. Deadoak was just pocketing two hundred and fifty dollars.
"Fall for it?" said Deadoak. "Piute, ding my dogs if he didn't fall clear through the crust and he ain't stopped yet!"
"Well, we got a good price, I'm bound to admit," said Piute thoughtfully. "As a beginning, it's good. But I'm a bit worried over them minin' rights, Deadoak. If we'd knowed a couple o' days ahead that them pilgrims was on the way, we could ha' renewed the lease or took out a new one. You got to tend to that pronto."
"Yep," agreed Deadoak. "I'll take that cayuse o' your'n and ride over to Meteorite in a couple o' days. Then I'll lease them mineral rights. Might's well try to shave that note over to town, too; mebbe somebody will know who Mac is."
"Don't wait no couple o' days," said Piute sagely81. "You light out on that cayuse 'fore33 daybreak! When them pilgrims gets tired o' lookin' for ruby silver in that there prop'ty, they'll most like go to workin' Hassayamp's gold lode. Then we trots82 out the minin' lease on 'em, with threats o' prosecution83 for workin' without no lease."
"She listens good," and Deadoak nodded. "Ding my dogs, Piute, if I ain't sure glad them pilgrims come to Two Palms to-day!"
"I'm sure glad," corrected Piute, "that we knowed they was coming! But I wisht we'd knowed it a few days earlier.' I didn't allow they'd bite so quick an' sudden, without even lookin' over the place. Them ruby silver samples was what done it."
"Them," admitted Deadoak modestly, "and the way I played my hand."
"Well, you get them rights, and get the lease sewed up quick!" admonished84 Piute. "But don't advertise it none. Go to the newspaper office and stick a piece in the paper about them wise men from the east alightin' in Two Palms an' buyin' property reckless and regardless. Say the printin' office was sold for two thousand, and Hassayamp's homestead for five thousand, and there's a big boom comin' this-a-way——"
"They know it anyhow," and Piute Tomkins grinned as he closed his safe.
