"To whom do you mean to sell the goods?" Kit asked.
"Does that matter?"
"Yes; it's rather important."
"The important thing is you'll get paid," Olsen rejoined.
Kit frowned. He imagined he could demand a high price, and now Alvarez was dead, there was perhaps no reason for refusing to bargain; but he did not mean to let Galdar have the goods. He thought Adam would not have done so, and he held the new president, to some extent, accountable for Adam's last illness.
"The cargo is not for sale," he said.
"Oh, shucks!" Olsen exclaimed. "I reckon you want to put up the price."
"No," said Kit, rather grimly, "I don't want to sell."
"Don't be a fool. The man you backed is dead. You carried out your contract, and it doesn't matter to him now who gets the truck."
"That's true," Kit replied. "But I won't help his rival."
