Suddenly he again heard the dull
roar of falling water. It seemed to
have cleared itself of muffled vibra
tions. Yaqui mounted a little ridge
and halted. The next instant Gale
stood above a bottomless cleft into
which a white stream leaped. His as
tounded gaze swept backward along
this narrow swift stream to its end In
a., dark, round, boiling pool. It was a
huge spring, a bubbling well, the out
cropping of an underground river
coming down from the vast plateau
above.
Yaqui had brought Gale to the
source of Forlorn river.
Flashing thoughts In Gale's mind
were no swifter than the, thrills that
ran. over him. He

searched the level floor under the
shelf Ho cntherpd up handfuls of
small hlar-k stones, and he thrust
them at Gale. Their weight made
Gale start, and then he trembled. The
Indian's next move was to pick up a
piete of weathered rock and throw it i
agalnst the wall. It broke. He
snatched up parts, and showed the
broken edges to Gale. They contained
yellow streaks, dull glints, faint trac
ings of green. It was gold.
Gale found his leg3 shaking under
him and he sat down, trying to take
all. the bits of stone into his lap. His
fingers were all thumbs as with knife
blade he dug Into the black pieces of
rock. He found gold. Then he stared
down the slope, down into the valley
with its: river winding forlornly away
into the desert. But he did not see
any of that. Here was reality as
sweet, as wonderful, as saving as a
dream come trne. Yaqui had led htm
to/a ledge of gold. Gale had learned

claim here and never be cheated out
of it. Ditches on the benehep and
troughs on the steep walls would car

Chase had built a great dam which
would be useless If Gale chose to turn
Forlorn fiver from "It's natural course.
Tftr fountain head of that mysterious
desert river belonged to him.
Efls eagerness, his mounting passion,
was cheeked by Taqul's unusual ac
tion/ The Indian showed wonder,
hesitation,- even reluctance. His
strange eyes surveyed this boiling well
as' *f they could not believe the sight
they saw. Gale divined instantly that
Yaqui had never before seen the
source of Forlorn river. If he had

stood gazing aloft at peaks, at lower
raippants of the mountain, and at
aearer' landmarks of prominence.
Yaqui seemed at fault. He was not

tfie Yaqui stalked, and his curiosity Burton,
attested, a further uncertainty. It
was as if he had come .upon something
surprising. Gale wondered about the
Bfief of stones. Had it once been a divination. Gale fumbled with the pa
prospector's claim? per until he got it open
ZtUgh!" grunted the Indian and, it was a certificate twenty-one years
though his exclamation expressed no
doubt." He pointed up to the roof of I
tlie sloping yellow shelf of stone.
Faintly outlined there In red were the
imprints of many human hands with
fifej'gers spread wide. Gale had often
seen such paintings on the walls of
the desert caverns. Manifestly these
told Yaqui he had come to the spot for

Indication that a prospector had* ever
been there. Where, then, was he who
had first staked this claim? Gale
wondered with growing hope, i with
the fire easing, with the cold passing.
The Yaqui uttered the low, strange,
involuntary cry so rare with him, a
cry somehow always associated with
death. Gale shuddered.
The Indian was digging in the sand
and dust' under the shelving wall. He
threw out an object that rang against
the stone. It was a belt buckle. He
threw out old shrunken, withered
boots. He came upon other things,
i and then he ceased to dig.
The grave of desert prospectors!
Gale had seen more than one. Ladd
had told him many a story of such
gruesome finds. It was grim, hard
fact.
Then the keen-eyed Yaqui reached
up to a little projecting shelf of rock
and took lfrom

the Yaqui, or was there a nameless
and unseen presence beside' that
grave? Gale could not be sure. But
he knew he had gone'back to the old
desert mood. Hie knew something
hung in the balance: "No accident, no
luck, no debt-paying Indian could ac

knew he held)in his hands more than
