Resolutely, relentlessly, first, Hale ca«t up his accounts, liabilities, resources, that niglxt, to see what, under the least favourable outcome, the balance left to him would be. Nearly all was gone. His securities were already sold. His lots would not bring at public sale one-half o/ the de- ferred payments yet to be made on them* and if the company brought suit, as it was threatening to do, he would be left fathoms deep in debt. The branch railroad had not come up the river 266 THE TRAIL OF ...THE LONESOME PINE toward Lonesome Cove, and now he meant to build barges and float his cannel coal down to the main line, for his sole hope was in the mine in Lonesome Cove. The means that he could com- mand were meagre, but they would carry his pur- pose with June for a year at least and then — ^who knew ? — he might, through that mine, be on his feet again. The little town was dark and asleep when he stepped into the cool night-air and made his way past the old school-house and up Imboden Hill.
