"That's nice. I am certain it will help Mr. Wenrich and his daughter Nettie a good deal, for they are not very well off."
"My uncle also thinks that you ought to be rewarded for your trouble," continued the miner. "He told me that as soon as you returned to America he was going to place a thousand dollars in the bank to your credit."
"A thousand dollars!" ejaculated Robert. "What for?"
"For what you did for him."
"I didn't do so much."
"He thinks you did, and so do I. You had lots of trouble in getting that map, and lots of trouble in delivering it after you got it."
"But a thousand dollars!"
"My uncle can easily afford it, for the timber lands are worth fifty times that amount."
"I am getting rich," mused Robert. "Do you know how much Mrs. Vernon has given me?"
"I haven't the least idea."
