Doesn't that look as though he wanted to sell?
Harry, Don Luis has buyers in sight for his mine, and he'll sell it for a big profit provided he can impose on the buyers!" "What does he want us for, then?
He spoke of engineering problems." "Don Luis's engineering problem," uttered Tom Reade, with deep scorn, "is simply to find two clean and honest engineers who'll sign a lying report and enable him to swindle some man or group of men out of a fortune." "Then Don Luis is a swindler, and we'll throw up the job," returned Harry Hazelton, vehemently.

"We'll quit." "We won't help him swindle any one," Tom rejoined.

"We won't quit just yet, but we'll stick just long enough to see whether we can't expose the scoundrel as he deserves! Harry, we'll have to be crafty, too.

We must not let him see, too soon, that we are aware of his trickery.".
