“That’s the talk,” said Grogan.
“Well, Rosenbaum says he will give four hundred dollars for the stuff,” began Casco.
“That’s mighty little.”
“He says all the stuff is not solid silver.”
Barker’s face fell and so did Grogan’s.
“I know it’s a disappointment,” went on Casco. “I thought the haul would pay much better myself, but still four hundred dollars is better than nothing, not to say anything of the cash.”
“Ye can’t make that Jew come up in the proice?” ventured Grogan, puffing away vigorously.
“No. He only wanted to give three-fifty first.”
“Well, we might as well let it go,” said Barker. “The sooner we get the stuff off our hands the better.”
“That’s so,” returned Casco. “It will leave us free for that other deal.”
