dragged men from all the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers,
and he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was an undesirable
acquaintance. . . .
The Judge was at a meeting of the Raisin Growers' Association, and the boys were busy
organizing an athletic club, on the memorable night of Manuel's treachery. No one saw him
and Buck go off through the orchard on what Buck imagined was merely a stroll. And with the
exception of a solitary man, no one saw them arrive at the little flag station known as College
Park. This man talked with Manuel, and money chinked between them.
