"Easily."
"Very well. I mny n?ed these men
to work on a day and night shift I'm
not sure. I'll be back in an hour."
Away he went and up the shaft, to
travel as swiftly aa possible through
the drift-piled road down Kentucky
gulch and to the Sampler. There he
sought out old Undertaker Chasttne,
and with him went to the proprietor.
"My name Is Falrchlld, and I'm In
trouble," he said candidly. "I've
brought Mr. Chastlne with me because
he assayed some of my ore u few days
igo and believes he knows what It is
worth. I'm working against time to

"Will You Put It Through for Mef

'The Sampler owner smiled.
"If you'll let me see where you're
getting the ore." Then he figured a
moment "That'd be thirty or forty
ton," come at last. "We could handle
that as fast as you could bring It In
here."
But a new thought had struck Fair
child a new necessity for money.
Til give it to you for one hundred
and fifty dollars a ton, providing you
do the hauling and lend me enough
after the first day or so to pay my
men."
"But why nil the excitement and

"It ought to be. But aa I said. I
want to see where the ore cornea

"You'll see In the morning If I've
got It," answered Falrchlld with a new
hope thrilling In his voice. "All that
I have so far Is an assay of some
drill scrapings. I don't know bow
thick the vein Is or whether It's going
to pinch out in ten minutes after we
strike It. But 111 know mighty soon."
Every cent that Robert Falrchlld
possessed In the world was la his
pockets two hundred dollars. After
he had paid his men for their three
daya ot labor, there would be exactly
twenty dollars left But Falrchlld did
not hesitate. To Farrell'a office ha
went and with him to an Interview,
la chambers, with the judge. Then,
'the necessary permission having baea
granted, he hurried back to the mlaa
and Into the drift, there to find the
last of the muck being scraped away
from beneath the site of the cave-la.
Falrchlld paid off. Then he turned to
th fnrmifen.
"How many of these men are game
to take a chancer
"Pretty neor all of 'em If there's
aay kind of a gamble to It"
"There's a lot of gamble. I've get
Just twenty dollars In my pocket
enough to pay each man one dollar
apiece for n night's work If my hunch
doesn't pan out. It It does pan, tha
wages are twenty dollars a day for
three days, with everybody, Including
myself, working like b-ll Who'a
gamer
The answer came in unison. Fair
child led tho way to the chamber,
seized a hammer and took his place.
"There's twc-hundred-dollar ore
back of this foot wall If we con break
In and tart a new stope," he an
nounced. "It takes a six-foot hole
to reach it, and we con have the whole
story by morning. Let's go I"
Along tho great length of th$J!oot
wait, extending all tho distance of tho
big chamber, the men began their
work, five men to the drills and as
many to the sledges, as they started
their double-jacking. Midnight came,
the first of the six-foot drills sank to
It ultimate depth. Then the second
and third and fourth; finally the fifth.
They moved on. Hours more of work,
ithd the operation had been repeated.
The workmen hurried for the powder
house, far down the drift, by the shaft,
lugging back In their pockets tho yel
low, candle-like rtlcks of dynamite,
with their waxy wrappers and theli
gelatinous contents, together with
fuses and caps. Crimping nippers
the Inevitable accompaniment of a
miner came forth from the pockets
of the men. Careful tamping, then
the men took their places at the fuses.
"Give tho wordl" one of tbesa aa
nounced crisply as he tamed to Fair
alld. "JJtK'h of He'll light om af
these things, and then I aay well run I
Because this Is going to be some ex
plosion 1"
Falrchlld smiled the smile of a saan
whose heart Is thumping at Its maxi
mum speed. Before him la the long
line ot the foot wall were tea holes,
"upholes," "downs" and "swimmers,"
attacking the hidden ore In every di
rection. Ten boles drilled six feet
lata tha rock and tamped with double
charges of dynamite. He straight-
Iened.
"All right, meal Ready r
"Ready!" iTti"
xuui'u oar '
, The carbide lamps were held close .
to the fuses for a second. Soon they
.were all golag, spitting like so saaay
venomous, angry aerpeata batjaatther
Falrchlld nor the minora had stopped
to watch. They were running aa hard
aa possible for the shaft and for the
protection that distance might give. A
wait that seemed ages. Then:
"Onel"
"And two and three t"
"There goes four nnd five they
weat together 1" "
"sax aeven eight nine "
Again a wait, while they looked at
one another with vacuous eyes. A
long Interval until the tenth.
"Two went together theni I thought
we'd counted nine!" The foreman
stared, und Falrchlld studied. Then
his face lighted.
"Eleven's right One of them must
have set off the charge that Harry left
n there. All the better It gives us
Just that much more of a chance."
Back they went along the drift tun
nel now, coughing slightly as the
sharp smoke of the dynamite cut their
lungs a long Journey that seemed
as many miles Instead of feet. Then
with a about Falrchlld sprang for
ward, and went to his handa and
knees.
It was there before him all about
hlra the black, heavy masses of lead
silver ore, a great, heaping, five-tea
8 lie of it where It had been throwa
ut by the tremendous force at tha
explosion. It seemed that tha whete
great floor of the cavern was cararad
with It, and the workmen shouted ntah
Falrchlld as they seised bite af aha
precious blsck stuff and held It te tha
llcfeit for closer examination.
"Look I" The voice of one of them
was high and excited. "You can aee
the fine streeks ot silver sticking eat I
It's high-grade end plenty of Itl"
But Falrchlld paid little attention.
He was playing In the stuff, throwing
It In the air and letting It fall to the
floor of the cavern again, Ilka a boy
with a new sack of marbles, or a child
with Its building blocks. Five tons
and the night was not yet overt Five
tons, and the vein had not yet shown
Its other side I
Back to work they went now. Again
through the hours the drills bit Into
the rock walls, while the ore car clat
tered along the tram line and while
the creaking of the block and tackle
at the shaft seemed endless. In three
days, approximately forty tons of ore

Morning, and in spite of the sleep- I
laden eye, the heavy nrhlng In his '
I head, the tired drooplnj: of the shout- I
ders, Falrchlld tramped to the board- ',
I lag house to notify Mother Howard
nnd ask for news of Harry. There
had been none. Then he went on, to
wait by the door of the Sampler until
Kittson, ttie owner, should appear, and
drag him away up the hill, even be
fore ha could open up for the morning.
"There it Isl" he exclaimed, as ho
led him to the entrance ot the cham
ber. "Thero It Is; take nil you want
of it and assay it I" J
Btttson went forward tnto the cross
cut, where the men were drilling even
at new holes, mid examined the vein.
Already It was three feet thick, and
there was still ore ahead. One ot the
miners lokcd up.
"Just finishing upfon the cross-cut,"
he announced, as he nodded toward hla
drill. "I've Just bitten Into tho foot
wall on the other side. Looks to me
like the vein's about five feet thick
as near as I can measure It"
"And" Blttsoti picked up a few
samples, examined them by the light
of the carbides and tossed them away
"you can see the sliver sticking out
I caught sight ot a couple of pencil
threads of It In one or two of those
samples. All right, Boy I" ho turned
to Falrchlld. "What was that bargain
we made!"
'It was based on two hundred dol-lars-a-ton
ore. This mny run above
or below. But whatever It Is, I'll sell
all you can handle for the next three
days at fifty dollars a ton under the
nssny price."
"You've said the word. The trucks
will be here In an hour If we have to
hovel a path all the way up Ken
tucky gulch."
Ha hurried away then, while Falr
chlld and the men followed him Into
town and to their breakfast Then,
recruiting a new gang on tho promise
of payment at the end of their three
day shift, Falrchlld went back to the
mine. But the word had spread, and
others were there before him.
Already fifteen or twenty miners
were assembled about the opening of
the Blue Poppy tunnel, awaiting per
mission to enter, the usual rush upon
n lucky mine to view Its riches. Be
hlndrhlm, Falrchlld could, aee others
coming from.Ohadl to take a look at
the new qtrlke, and his heart bounded
-wlthihapplnesa tinged with sorrow.
Harry was not there to enjoy It all;
narrywas gone, and In spite ot his
every effort, Falrchlld' had failed to
find him. ,
Some one brushed against him, an8
there came u slight tug at hla coat
Falrchlld looked downward to sea
passing the form of Anita Richmond.
A moment later ahe looked toward
hiss, bat in her eyes there was no light
of recognition, nothing to. indicate that
she -had Jast given htm a signal at
greeting and congratulation. And yet
FafcHMId.telt that ahe had. Then, ab
sently, ha put his hand into his
pocket
Something there caused his heart to
linlt momentarily a piece of paper.
He crumpled It In his hand, he rubbed
his fingers over It wonderlngly ; It had
not been In his pocket before she bad,
jmMed hlra. Hurriedly he walked to
the fur side of tho chnmber and there,
pretending to examine a bit of ore,
brought the missive from Its place ot
secretion, to unfold It with trembling
tlngcrx, then to stare at the words
which 'showed before him:
"Squint Itodalne Is terribly worried

That was all. There waa.no signa

So she, wan his frtyndl Bo all. these
days of waiting had aot been In vain ;
all the cutting hopelessness of seeing
her, only to have her turn away her

been for their purpose after all. And

was engaged to Maurice Rodalne, and
that the, time of the Wedding must be
fast approaching. Perhaps there had
been a quarrel, perhaps Then ha
smiled. Thero was no perhaps about

Hastily Falrchlld folded the pmx'r,
and stuffed It Into an Inside pocket.
Then, seeking out one of the workmen,
he appointed him foreman of the gain'.

lowing which, he made his way nut of

Falrchlld was taking ao caancea row.
An hoar mora found hiss at the Sam

tha great crusher hoppers, tp come
forth finely' crumbled powder and be
sampled, ton by ton, .for the assays tty
old Undertaker Chastlne and three
other men of his type, wlthoat which
no sampler pays for ore. Blttson ap
proached, grinning.
"You guessed jast about right," he
announced. "That stuffs running
around two hundred dollars a ton.
Need any money now?"
"All you can let me have I"
"Four or five hundred? We've gotten
In eight tons of that stuff already;
don't guess Td be taking any risk on
that I" he chuckled. Falrchlld reached
for the currency eagerly. All but a
hundred dollars of It would go to
Mother Howard for that debt must
bo paid off first And, that accom
plished, denying himself the invitation
of rest that bis bed held forth for hlra,
he started out Into town, apparently
to loiter about the streets and receive
the congratulations of the townspeo
ple, but In reality to watch for one
person and one alone Squint- Ro
dalne I
He saw nim late in tna afternoon,
shambling along, his eyes glaring, his
lips moving wordlessly, and he took
up the trail. But It led only to the of
flceiof tha Silver Queen Development
cosapaajr, where tho scar-faced man
doubled at his desk and, stuffing a
cigar into his mouth, chewed oa It
angrily. Instinctively Falrchlld knew
that the greatest part of hla mean
temper was duu to the strike In tho
Blue Poppy; Instinctively also he felt
that Squint Rodalne bad known ot the
value all along, that uow he was curs
ing himself for tho fullure of his
schemes to obtain possession of what
had appeared until only u day before
to be nothing mora than a disappoint
ing, unlucky, ll-omened hole lu the
ground. Falrchlld resumed his loiter
ing, but evening found blm near tho
Silver Queen offlcc.
Anita's pote had told him Utile, yet
had Implied much. Something was
fermenting in tho seething brain of
Hqulnt Itodalne, and if the pust count
ed for anything, It wns something that
concerned him.
An hour more, then Falrchlld sud
denly slunk Into the shadows of a
doorwuy. Squint bad aaapped out the
light nnd wns locking tha door. FtMrr tM
feet, then Falrchlld stepped from gat B
doorway nnd took up the trail. jH
It waa not a hard one to foUew. H
Squint Rodalne passed the street leaeV H
ing to, his house without evaa loekff H
up. Two blocks mora, aad thay H
reached the city limits. . 7 H
A mile, and they were 1b tbeeaeai H

And Falrchlld followed. It aaasi H
mean only one thing whaa Kadataa M
aought the white-haired, mamallag ali H
hag whom once he bad called hla wile, H
It could mean but one outcome, aai H
that of disaster for soma one. Mather H
Howard had said that Crasy Laara H
would kill for Squint. Aad aow that M
Squint Rodalne was seeking her. Fair- H
child meant to follow, and to hear tf H
such a thing were within the range af H
human possibility the evil dripplaga H
of his crooked lips. H
He crossed to the aide of tha read H
where ran the Inevitable gully aad, H
taking advantage of Uie shelter, har- H
rled forward, smiling grimly la the P-H
darkness at the 'memory of tha fast H
that things were now reversed; that H
ha was following Squint Rodalne aa H
Rodalne once had followed hlra. Swift- fH

down gate and approached the house, H
aot knowing that his pursuer was laaa fH

A minute of cautious waiting taea, H
la which Falrchlld did not move. R
Finally n light showed In an upst'alra H
room of tho houxe, and Fulrchlla sRI
masking hlx own footprints lu those H
tnude by Itodalne, crept to the porch. HI
Swiftly, silently, protected by the pad Hfl
af snow on the soled uf his shoes, ha H
made the doorway and softly (rled tha gen
lock. It gave beneath his pressure, jgHI
and he glided within the dark ball- HI
way, musty mid dusty In Its odor, for- jgH
