“ If you're seriously set on opening up a print-shop, we'll agree——"
"As partners?" queried Willyum anxiously.
"Sure," asserted Sandy, with one of his rare smiles. "We go three-square in everything! Mine and homestead and newspaper—we'll be running the country next!"
"'Where every prospect pleases and only man is vile,'" quoth Murray, and grinned. His grin was worthy the name, and was most reprehensible in a man of his years and experiences.
"You take the papers," said Mackintavers, extending them. "Don't leave 'em with Bill. 'Twouldn't be safe. ”

“ Tomkins," he said slowly, "Who owns the valley at which we looked the other day—Morongo Valley, I think the name is."
"Who—who owns it?" stammered Piute. He was of a sudden acutely mindful of a sub rosa transaction by which Deadoak had transferred that property to him, and he to Mackintavers. "Why—d'ye mean the homestead or the mine, now?"
"Both," snapped Tom Lee impatiently. "All of it—all of the little valley!"
Piute was positively staggered. He had no certain clue from this whether Tom Lee wanted the mine or not; chances were, he did. ”

“ To go out to Morongo Valley and investigate their purchase, was naturally the first impulse of both men; but they had to await the return of Bill Hobbs, in order to make sure of their position. That Hobbs himself would accompany them to Morongo Valley, was unlikely.
"We may get off in the morning," said Sandy. "He'll not like it there. Doc. He's taken a notion to the printin' business, and his heart will be back here."
"Let him stay here, then," assented Murray, "and go in for his chosen profession! At least, for the present. He'll get tired of playing by himself, I imagine. ”

“ The girl hesitated an instant, then came out into the sunlight and walked up the street.
"It's right queer, now——" and Piute favored his auditors with an exposition of his own views, the views of Deadoak, the views of Haywire, and in fact the views of Two Palms in particular and in general, upon the subject of Tom Lee and Claire.
Before Piute had exhausted the subject, Claire came into sight again, returning. At the steps she thanked Piute for his suggestion.
"Mr. Ryan is going," she said, then paused. "Father is still asleep. Doctor Murray. Do you think he's all right?" ”

“ Sandy agreed. On the hotel porch they encountered Piute Tomkins, who was busily engaged in hounding unfortunate lizards to a miserable fate. Murray paused and addressed him.
"As the mayor of this municipality and deputy sheriff, Mr. Tomkins, we call upon your aid! Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. Arise and shine! If you want a print-shop opened here, let's go and open it. Our estimable partner Bill Hobbs will be back anon, and upon his return he'll find the place cleaned up. It will encourage him." ”

“ The large foot-power job press seemed new and good, while the cutter and other varied machines were in fair condition, type racks, furniture, stones—all the paraphernalia of a printing establishment were here. ”

“ See what that there chink found—trail him down! I got no use for yeller men cheatin' honest citizens out o' their rights. You're goin', understand?"
Deadoak assented weakly that he understood. Presently, however, he rallied again.
"Now, Piute, show some sense!" he pleaded. "Ain't you jest said that the chink and this Doc Murray were out together? Well, they framed up the deal on us, that's all; the doc got the chink to——"
"You're a plumb fool, Deadoak," exclaimed Piute scornfully. "Why, the deal hadn't been put through when Murray went out to 'tend to the chink! ”
