Chapter XIV
Joel Mazarine did not take the trail to Tralee immediately after he found his wagon and horses in the shed of the Methodist Meeting House. As he drove through the main street of Askatoon again, his lawyer--Burlingame’s rival--waved a hand towards him in greeting. An idea suddenly possessed the old man, and he stopped the horses and beckoned. “Get in and come to your office with me,” he said to the lawyer. “There’s some business to do right off.”
