b (Continued from last issue) " “Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money,” came at last. “And what then?” Mother Howard, still looking through uncolored glasses, took the letter and scanned it. “You two ain’t quitters, are you?” “'Qo, us?” Harry bristled. “Yes, you. If you are, get your- selves a piece of paper and write to Denver and take the offer. If you ain't—keep on fighting.” “I believe you're right, Mether How- ard.” Fairchild had reached for the letter again and was staring at it as | though for inspiration. “That amount ' of money seems to be a great deal. Sitill, if a person will offer that much ! for a mine when there’s nothing ln:' sight to show its value, it ought to mean that there’s something dark in ! the woodplle and that the thing's| worth fighting out. And personnlly! speaking, I'm willing to fight!” “I never quit in my life!” Harry straightened in his chair and his mus- ! tache stuck forth pugnaclously. Moth- er Howard looked down at' him, pressed her lips, then smiled. “No,” she announced, “except torun away like a whipped pup after you'd ‘gotten a poor ‘onely boarding-house keeper in love with you!"” “Mother 'Oward, I'll—" But the laughing, gray-haired wom- an had .scrambled through the door- | way and slammed the door behind her, only to open it a second later and poke her head within, +“Needn’s think because you can hold up a dance hall and get away with it, you can use cave-man stuff on me!” she admonished. And in that one sen- | tence was all the conversation neces- sary . regarding the charges against Harry, as far as Mother Howard was concerned. She didn’t belleve them, and Harry's face showed that the world had become bright and serene again, He swung his great arms as though to loosen the big muscles of his shoulders. , He pecked at his mus- tache. “Then he turned to Fairchild. “Well,” he asked, “what do we do? Go up to the mine—just like nothing 'ad ever 'appened?”’ “Exactly, Walit until I change my clothes, Then we'll be ready to start. T'm not even going to dignify this let- ter by replying to it. And for one principal reason—" he added—“that I think the Rodaines have something to do with it.” 0w gom “I don't know. moment.” An hour later they entered the mouth of the Blue Poppy tunnel, once more to start the engines and to re- sume the pwmping, meanwhile strug- gling back and forth with timbers from the mountain side, as they began the task of rehabilitating the tunnel where it had caved In just beyond the shaft. Hour after hour they toiled, until the gray mists hung low over the mountain tops, until the shadows i lengthened and twilight fell. The en- gines ceased thelr chugging, the cough- ing swirl of the dirty water as it came from the drift, far helow, stopped. Slowly two weary men jogged down the rutty road to the narrow, winding highway which led through Kentucky gulch and Into town. That night Falrchild did not lie awnke to stare about him In the dark- ness. - His eyes closed wearlly, yet with a wholesome fatigue, Nor did he wake until Harry was pounding on the door in the dawn of the morn- ing. Once more the pumps; once more the struggle agalnst the heavy tim- bers; once more the “clunk” of the ax as It bit deep into wood, or the pounding of hammers as great splikes were driven into place, The timber- ing of the broken-down portion of the tunnel just behind the shaft had been repaired, and Harry flipped the sweat away from his broad forehead with an action of relief, “Not that it does any particular good,” he announced. “But it's room we'll need when we start working down below, and we might as well ‘ave it fixed up—" He ceased suddenly and ran to the pumps. A peculiar gurgling sound had come from the ends of the hose, and the flow depreclated greatly; instead of the steady gush of water, a slimy silt was coming out now, spraying and splattering about on the sides of the drainage ditch. Wildly Harry waved 4 monstrous paw. “Shut 'em off!” he yelled to Fair child in the dimness of the tunnel. “It's sucking the muck out of tne sump! That means the ‘ole drift is unwatered.” “Then the pumping job’s over?” “Yeh!” Harry rose. “You stay ere and dismantle the pumps, so we car send 'em back. T'll go to town, We've got to buy some stuff.” Then he started o down the trail while Falrchjld weant to his work. Anc PSR TN be ready in a “Shut 'Em Off! It's Sucking the Muck Out of the Sump!” he Tang us he dragged ut the heavy | hose. Work was before him, work which was progressing toward a gonl that he had determined to seek, in spite of all obstacles. offer which he had received gave evi- dence that something awaited him, that some one knew the real value of the Blue Poppy mine, and that if he could simply stick to his task, if he could hold to the unwavering purpose to win | in spite of all the blocking pitfalls that were put in his path, some day, some time, the reward would be worth | its price. More, the conversation with Mother Howard on the previous morning had been comforting; it had given a wom- an's viewpoint upon another woman's actions. And Fairchild intuitively be- lieved she was correct. A shout from the road, accompanied by the roaring of a motor truck, an- nounced the fact that Harry was mak- ing his return, : i “WHERE 1S MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT?” REX SUNDAY “Where Is My Wanderding Boy Tonight?” the melodramatic offering that comes to the Rex theatre be- ginning on Sunday promises an un-|w. usual treat for lovers of homely dra- ma that gets under the skin. It is a splendid photographed production and tells a story that touches every human heart and does it in a way to grip the interest and hold it in its clutch to the last flicker of the pic- ture. Ruth “Patsy” Miller is a charm- ing Lorna Owens, the village sweet- heart of the Boy. She carries with honor the role of fellow-sufferer with the Mother and wins a large measure of sympathy. Kathleen Key has the hard and unpopular part of the cold blooded show girl without redecming qualities—and carries it through with splendid finesse. “THE JOLT” AT THE REX TONIGHT AND FRIDAY “The Jolt” a Fox photoplay co- starring Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker will open at the Rex theater today. The story begins in France where Johnnie Stanton (Johnnie Walker) a war hero marries Georgette (Ed- na Murphy), a little French giri. They come to America and settle down. Johnnie a reformed gangster fails to get a job and reaches the end of his resources. In desperation he goes back to his gang and joins in a plot to rob a safe. An unexpected “jolt” shows him the folly of dis- honesty. Later Johnnie rescues Georgette from the crook who had lured him back to crime. Through Nolan, Johnnie’s “buddy” in France all turns out well. Those who remember the acting of Miss Murphy and Mr. Walker in} “Over the Hill” in which Walker | played the part of “Black sheep” | and Edna Murphy that of the way- ward wife, will not have to be urg- ed to sec their latest production. “OTHER WOMEN’S CLQTHES” AT ELKO THEATRE TODAY Is money the greatest thing in the world? Can it buy happiness?| Jacqueline Lee thought it could.! But, beautiful surroundings, lovely yowns, the ability to help her friends achieve their heart’s desire failed The mysterious to bring Jaqueline the abiding hap- piness she had expected, and not until she was bereft of her great wealth did love show her the way to peace and contentment. See “Other Women’s Clothes” for the answer to the importance of money in our modern life. . In “Other Women’s Clothes” show- | |ing at the Elko tonight and Fri- day, this unique situation is dramat- ically told, Mavel Ballin playing the role of the young girl, and Raymond Bloomer the charitable millionaire. “WATCH YOUR STEP” AT GRAND . THEATRE TONIGHT “Watch Your Step” a Goldwyn comedy coming to the Grand theater for two days commencing tonight is a production of youth in every sense of the word. The story itself is an inimitable tale of country town young folk, The leading man_and the leading woman of “Watch Your Step” are Cullen Langdis and Patsy Ruth Miller. Since the story deals with youth and youth’s point of view, there s no straining or reminiscing to “put it over” in the picture. The result is a delightful, rollicking, utterly human and natural screen version of real life. “THE SHEIK” AT THE GRAND THEATRE SATURDAY ONLY A one day return showing of the special Paramount picture, “The Sheik” featuring Rudolph Valentino and Agnes Ayres, is announced for next Saturday by the Grand theatre management. This famous story in book and pic- tures has thrilled millions and doubt- less will continne to be as popular years ence as it is now. “|“THE MYSTERIOUS RIDER” AT GRAND THEATRE SUNDAY Benj. B. Hampton has taken Zane Grey’s fascinating novel “The Mys- terious Rider” and made of it a picture ten times as fascinating. It comes to the Grand theatre next Sunday and Monday. It is a fast moving story of love and adventure, and the cast, headed by Robert Me- Kim, Claire Adams and Carl Gant- voort, is an excellent one.
