I do hereby believe that you can clear Stanley Mitchell of the charge hanging over him.

If you can, I'll bet you a one-quarter interest in our mine against that evidence.
I'll take your word if you'll take mine, and I'll give you twelve hours' start before I make your confession public .-- Boland, you mind your own business.

I'm doing this .-- Well, Dewing, how about it ?" "If you think I've got evidence to clear Stanley--" "I do.

I think you did the trick yourself, likely." "You might as well get one thing in your head, first as last: if I had any such evidence and made any such a bet--I'd win it! You may be sure of that.

So you'd be no better off so far as getting your pardner out of trouble is concerned--and you lose a slice of mining property.
