Mr. Black , a friendly real estate man of Jamestown, N. D., who owns an automobile which proves of good service to the king of the motor boys. Sergeant O'Hara , a good soldier, but who indulges in a game of cards at an inopportune moment. Benner , post trader at Fort Totten, a bluff person who falls into a trap laid by Siwash Charley. Jake , a teamster for Benner, who uses a blacksnake whip in a novel, but effective way.
WANTED: A MAN OF NERVE.
Mr. Amos Murgatroyd?
My name.
Amos Murgatroyd whirled around in his office chair and measured his caller with a pair of little, gimlet eyes. The caller, at the same time, was measuring Murgatroyd.
The young man who had entered the musty office of the loan broker and was now undergoing his scrutiny, stood straight as a plumb line, his shoulders squared, his lithe, well-set-up form at attention. He wore a cap, and his clothes were of dark blue and of a semi-military cut.
