"No, it didn't look like it," said George; "but those mica men mayn't find it such a good bargain for them."
"Well, suppose some of the people who own the land that the line's on, don't want these strangers to have a telegraph on their farms. What's to hinder them ordering them off?"
"They wouldn't do that," said Harry. "None of the people about here would be so mean. They'd know that it might upset our bargain. There isn't a man who would do it."
"All right," said George. "I hope they won't. But how are you going to keep the old woman now?"
"How?" said Harry. "Why, we can keep her easy enough. We got three hundred and fifty dollars from the Mica Company."
"And how much is her share?"
"Over two hundred and sixty," answered Harry.
"Is that all?" said George. "That won't give her much income. The interest on it will only be about fifteen dollars a year, and she can't live on that."
"But we didn't think of using only the interest," said Harry.
