you.
Harvey Anderson.
If I could put men out, you bet I would.
And when I found the gold I'd make her fly.
You wouldn't catch me quarrelling with a lot
Of fellows for the bones, I tell you that.
I'd take a rump or two, then say, 'Light in
And fill your bellies'; or, 'Come on; I'm rich;
Let's take a turn together.' And I'd buy
A train or two and we'd all take a spin
Around the world. I'd make their hair stand up.
I'd show those eastern fellows once or twice.

Cap Saunders.
(Coming forward)
You'll have that rolling down if you don't mind.
Harvey Anderson.
And that's one reason I'll be always broke,
For I know how to spend, while Egerton
And Jergens and those fellows down there don't,
In spite of their big houses. They know how
To quarrel with men and squeeze their last dime out,
But they don't know how to say, 'By God, come on;
Let's have a drink together; we're all friends.'

(The old man busies himself about the fire, preparing the evening meal. Anderson sits down on the boulder and looks off up the valley. Where the town was seen, lights begin to appear)
Harvey Anderson.
You'll wake up some day, Cap, and look about
And Harvey will be gone.
And Harvey will be gone.
Cap Saunders.
You don't mean that!
You ain't took no offence at what I said?

Cap Saunders.
Don't you know, Harvey,
About the rolling stone?
About the rolling stone?
Harvey Anderson.
There's some stones, Cap,
Would rather have the motion than the moss.

Cap Saunders.
You're sure a wild one, Harvey; that you are.
You'd stir a muss up, that's what you would do.

(Goes to the boulder and stands beside Anderson, and they both look off up the valley)
Harvey Anderson.
The mansion all lit up—what's going on?
(They are silent)
It's a strange world, Cap, it's a funny world.
You throw a piece of bread down; it draws ants,
Red ants and black ants, little ants and
