Cabin Fever

Barring, then, the discovery of rightful heirs, their plan was to take

the gold to Sacramento in the spring, and deposit it there in a savings

bank for one Lovins Markham Moore. They would let the interest "ride"

with the principal, and they would--though neither openly confessed it

to the other--from time to time add a little from their own earnings.

Bud especially looked forward to that as a compromise with his duty to

his own child. He intended to save every cent he could, and to start

a savings account in the same bank, for his own baby, Robert Edward

Moore--named for Bud. He could not start off with as large a sum as

Lovins would have, and for that Bud was honestly sorry. But Robert

Edward Moore would have Bud's share in the claims, which would do a

little toward evening things up.

Having settled these things to the satisfaction of their desires and

their consciences, they went to bed well pleased with the day.
