The Right Bait

The proverb has It that "there is a sucker born every minute." A great many of them make their way to Alaska, and woe betide them if they don't meet a good Samaritan like Bill Heenan..

Up in Alaska, where, if extravagant rumor is to be believed, wealth is waiting to be gathered up by anyone who has the nerve and strength to go into the land and brush off the snow, the tenderfoot sucker is likely to bite at 'most any old bait. This would have been that kind of everyday tale, if Bill Heenan hadn't happened along. And Bill knew all there was to know about bait.
