I'd be wild if I failed to find Don Luis's intended dupe and tell him just what he's in for." "Do you imagine that Montez will ever allow us to get face to face with the man who's to be fleeced ?" "He won't do it intentionally, Harry.

"How is one to get back the money that he has put into a gold mine ?" Tom demanded.

"Everyone knows that the most honest mine is a gamble.

You have heard Don Luis boast that he practically owns the governor of Bonista.

No, sir! The only way to stop a swindle will be to stop it before it takes place." Tom rose from his hiding place, back in the dark away from the lights at the mine shaft.
