like a lobster's claw for a stew´pot of Patagonian cannibals when the boat of his rescuers hove in sight。 So a hat´cleaner who had been a friend of a king did not oppress me。
;A new band �拭─�asked Finch�察�with his dry�察�barren smile。
;Yes�察─�said I�察 �and half an inch wider。; I had had a new band five days before。
;I meets a man one night�察─�said Finch�察�beginning his story;a man brown as snuff�察�with money in every pocket�察�eating schweinerknuckel in Schlagel's。 That was two years ago�察�when I was a hose´cart driver for No。 98。 His discourse runs to the subject of gold。 He says that certain mountains in a country down South that he calls Gaudymala is full of it。 He says the Indians wash it out of the streams in plural quantities。
;'Oh�察�Geronimo��' says I。 'Indians� �There's no Indians in the South��' I tell him�察�'except Elks�察�Maccabees�察�and the buyers for the fall dry´ goods trade。 The Indians are all on the reservations��' says I。
;'I'm telling you this with reservations��' says he。 'They ain't Buffalo Bill Indians�察�they're squattier and more pedigreed。 They call 'em Inkers and Aspics�察�and they was old inhabitants when Mazuma was King of Mexico。 They wash the gold out of the mountain streams��' says the brown man�察�'and fill quills with it�察�and then they empty 'em into red jars till they are full�察�and then they pack it in buckskin sacks of one arroba eachan arroba is twenty´five poundsand store it in a stone house�察�with an engraving of a idol with marcelled hair�察�playing a flute�察�over the door。'
;'how do they work off this unearth increment��' I asks。
;'They don't��' says the man。 'It's a case of ;Ill fares the land with the great deal of velocity where wealth accumulates and there ain't any reciprocity。;'
;After this man and me got through our conversation�察�which left him dry of information�察�I shook hands with him and told him I was sorry I couldn't believe him。 And a month afterward I landed on the coast of this Gaudymala with 1��300 that I had been saving up for five years。 I thought I knew what Indians liked�察�and I fixed myself accordingly。 I loaded down four pack´mules with red woollen blankets�察�wrought´iron pails�察�jewelled side´combs for the ladies�察�glass necklaces�察�and safety´razors。 I hired a black mozo�察�who was supposed to be a mule´ driver and an interpreter too。 It turned out that he could interpret mules all right�察�but he drove the English language much too hard。 His name sounded like a Yale key when you push it in wrong side up�察�but I called him McClintock�察�which was close to the noise。
;Well�察�this gold village was forty miles up in the mountains�察�and it took us nine days to find it。 But one afternoon McClintock led the other mules and myself over a rawhide bridge stretched across a precipice five thousand feet deep�察�it seemed to me。 The hoofs of the beasts drummed on it just like before George M。 Cohan makes his first entrance on the stage。
;This village was built of mud and stone�察�and had no streets。 Some few yellow´and´brown persons popped their heads out´of´doors�察�looking about like Welsh rabbits with Worcester sauce on em。 Out of the biggest house�察�that had a kind of a porch around it�察�steps a big white man�察�red as a beet in color�察�dressed in fine tanned deerskin clothes�察 �with a gold chain around his neck�察�smoking a cigar。 I've seen United States Senators of his style of features and build�察�also head´waiters and cops。
;He walks up and takes a look at us�察�while McClintock disembarks and begins to interpret to the lead mule while he smokes a cigarette。
;'Hello�察�Buttinsky��' says the fine man to me。 'How did you get in the game�拭 �I didn't see you buy any chips。 Who gave you the keys of the city��'
;'I'm a poor traveller��' says I。 'Especially mule´back。 You'll excuse me。 Do you run a hack line or only a bluff��'
;'Segregate yourself from your pseudo´equine quadruped��' says he�察�'and come inside。'
;He raises a finger�察�and a villager runs up。
;'This man will take care of your outfit��' says he�察�'and I'll take care of you。'
;He leads me into the biggest house�察�and sets out the chairs and a kind of a drink the color of milk。 It was the finest room I ever saw。 The stone walls was hung all over with silk shawls�察�and there was red and yellow rugs on the floor�察�and jars of red pottery and Angora goat skins�察�and enough bamboo furniture to misfurnish half a dozen seaside cottages。
;'In the first place��' says the man�察�'you want to know who I am。 I'm sole lessee and proprietor of this tribe of Indians。 They call me the Grand Yacuma�察�which is to say King or Main Finger of the bunch。 I've got more power here than a charge d'affaires�察�a charge of dynamite�察 �and a charge account at Tiffany's combined。 In fact�察�I'm the Big Stick�察�with as many extra knots on it as there is on the record run of the Lusitania。 Oh�察�I read the papers now and then��' says he。 'Now�察 �let's hear your entitlements��' he goes on�察�'and the meeting will be open。'
;'Well��' says I�察�'I am known as one W。 D。 Finch。 Occupation�察 �capitalist。 Address�察�54' East Thirty´second'
;'New York��' chips in the Noble Grand。 'I know��' says he�察�grinning。 'It ain't the first time you've seen it go down on the blotter。 I can tell by the way you hand it out。 Well�察�explain ;capitalist。;'
;I tells this boss plain what I come for and how I come to came。
;'Gold´dust ��' says he�察�looking as puzzled as a baby that's got a feather stuck on its molasses finger。 'That's funny。 This ain't a gold´mining country。 And you invested all your capital on a stranger's story�拭 �Well�察�well� �These Indians of minethey are the last of the tribe of Peehesare simple as children。 They know nothing of the purchasing power of gold。 I'm afraid you've been imposed on��' says he。
;'Maybe so��' says I�察�'but it sounded pretty straight to me。'
;'W。 D。��' says the King�察�all of a sudden�察�'I'll give you a square deal。 It ain't often I get to talk to a white man�察�and I'll give you a show for your money。 It may be these constituents of mine have a few grains of gold´dust hid away in their clothes。 To´morrow you may get out these goods you've brought up and see if you can make any sales。 Now�察�I'm going to introduce myself unofficially。 My name is ShanePatrick Shane。 I own this tribe of Peche Indians by right of conquestsingle handed and unafraid。 I drifted up here four years ago�察�and won 'em by my size and complexion and nerve。 I learned their language in six weeks´it's easy�此�you simply emit a string of consonants as long as your breath holds out and then point at what you're asking for。
;'I conquered 'em�察�spectacularly��' goes on King Shane�察�'and then I went at 'em with economical politics�察�law�察�sleight´of´hand�察�and a kind of New England ethics and parsimony。 Every Sunday�察�or as near as I can guess at it�察�I preach to 'em in the council´house ��I'm the council�� on the law of supply and demand。 I praise supply and knock demand。 I use the same text every time。 You wouldn't think�察�W。 D。��' says Shane�察�'that I had poetry in me�察�would you��'
;'Well��' says I�察�'I wouldn't know whether to call it poetry or not。'
;'Tennyson��' says Shane�察 �'furnishes the poetic gospel I preach。 I always considered him the boss poet。 Here's the way the text goes��
;For�察�not to admire�察�if a man could learn it�察�were more Than to walk all day like a Sultan of old in a garden of spice。;
;'You see�察�I teach 'em to cut out demandthat supply is the main thing。 I teach 'em not to desire anything beyond their simplest needs。 A little mutton�察�a little cocoa�察�and a little fruit brought up from the coastthat's all they want to make 'cm happy。 I've got 'em well trained。 They make their own clothes and hats out of a vegetable fibre and straw�察�and they're a contented lot。 It's a great thing��' winds up Shane�察�'to have made a people happy by the incultivation of such simple institutions。'
;Well�察�the next day�察�with the King's permission�察�I has the McClintock open up a couple of sacks of my goods in the little plaza of the village。 The Indians swarmed around by the hundred and looked the bargain´counter over。 I shook red blankets at 'em�察�flashed finger´ rings and ear´bobs�察�tried pearl necklaces and sidecombs on the women�察 �and a line of red hosiery on the men。 'Twas no use。 They looked on like hungry graven images�察�but I never made a sale。 I asked McClintock what was the trouble。 Mac yawned three or four times�察 �rolled a cigarette�察�made one or two confidential side remarks to a mule�察�and then condescended to inform me that the people had no money。
;Just then up strolls King Patrick�察�big and red 'and royal as usual�察 �with the gold chain over his chest and his cigar in front of him。
;'How's business�察�W。 D。��' he asks。
;'Fine��' says I。 'It's a bargain´day rush。 I've got one more line of goods to offer before I shut up shop。 I'll try 'em with safety´ razors。 I've' got two gross that I bought at 'a fire sale。'
;Shane laughs till some kind of mameluke or private secretary he carries with him has to hold him up。
;'0 my sainted Aunt Jerusha��' says he�察�'ain't you one of the Babes in the Goods�察�W。 D。�拭 �Don't you know that no Indians ever shave�拭�They pull out their whiskers instead。'
;'Well��' says I�察�'that's just what these razors would do for 'emthey wouldn't have any kick coming if they used 'em once。'
;Shane went away�察�and I could hear him laughing a block�察�if there had been any block。
;'Tell 'em��' says I to McClintock�察�'it ain't money I wanttell 'em I'll take gold´dust。 Tell 'em I'll allow 'em sixteen dollars an ounce for it in trade。 That's what I'm out forthe dust。'
;Mac interprets�察�and you'd have thought a squadron of cops had charged the crowd to disperse it。 Every uncle's nephew and aunt's niece of 'em faded away inside of two minutes。
;At the royal palace that night me and the King talked it over。
;'They've got the dust hid out somewhere��' says I�察�'or they wouldn't have been so sensitive about it。'
;'They haven't��' says Shane。 'What's this gag you've got about gold�拭 �You been reading Edward Allen Poe�拭 �They ain't got any gold。'
;'They put it in quills��' says I�察�'and then they empty it in jars�察�and then into sacks of twenty´five pounds each。 I got it straight。'
;'W。 D。��' says Shane�察�laughing and chewing his cigar�察�'I don't often see a white man�察�and I feel like putting you on。 I don't think you'll get away from here alive�察�anyhow�察�so I'm going to tell you。 Come over here。'
''He draws aside a silk fibre curtain in a corner of the room and shows me a pile of buckskin sacks。
;'Forty of 'em��' says Shane。 'One arroba in each one。 In round numbers�察�220��000 worth of gold´dust you see there。 It's all mine。 It belongs to the Grand Yacuma。 They bring it all to me。 Two hundred and twenty thousand dollarsthink of that�察�you glass´bead peddler��' says Shane' and all mine。'
;'Little good it does you��' says I�察�contemptuously and hatefully。 'And so you are the government depository of this gang of money´less money´makers�拭 �Don't you pay enough interest on it to enable one of your depositors to buy an Augusta ��Maine�� Pullman carbon diamond worth 200 for 4。85 ��'
;'Listen��' s
