Somewhat anxious, Fairchild 'Jeaned forward, but his partner's eyes .were open and smiling. “I'm just let- {ting it sink inl” he announced, and ;)‘nlrchlhl was sllent, saving his ques-’ itions ‘untit “it” had sunk. Then: H “You were saying something about that fissure?” “Byt ‘there is other things first. !‘_Atter» you went to the assayers, I {fooled around there in the chamber, ‘and I thought I'd just take a fiyer and iBlow up them ‘oles that I'd drilled in jthe 'anging wall at the same time that 11 shot, the other. So I put In the .powder and fuses, tamped 'em down ,and then I thinks, thinks I, that there’s | mebody moving around in the drift.! {But T didn't pay any attention to it— ,¥on kpow. I was busy and all that,| and you often ’ear noises that sound ‘finpy. So I set 'em off—that s, I lit the fuses and I started to run. Well, I "agn't any more'n started when “bloéyy-y-y, right in front of me, the 7‘ hole world turned upside down, and i et myself knocked back into the chamber. And there was them fuses. %4‘ of "em burning. Well, I managed {to pull out the one from the foot wall {and gtamp it out, but I didn't ’ave time itp'get at the eothers. And the only iplace where there was a chance for me Was clear at the end of the cham- Ihér.. Already I was bleeding like a istuck hog where a whole 'arf moun- itain 'ad 'it me on the ‘ead, and I gdl(!n’t know much what I was doing. I 1Just wanted to get be'ind something— /[that's all I could think of. So I shied ifor that ' fissure in the rocks and (erawled back In there, trying to ‘squeeze as far along as I could. And }'ere',s the funny part of it—I kept on igolng1” “You what?” “Kept on golng.'T'd always thought !it was just a place where the anging wall 'ad slipped, ‘and that it stopped {a'few feet back. Bt It don't—it goes |/ on, I crawled mlong It as fast as I icould—I was about woozy, anyway— ;lnd by and by I 'eard the shots go off ,ho'lnd me. - But' there wasn't any use |in golng back—the tunnel was caved [tn. So I keption. | “Attera while, I ran into a stream of |water that came out of the inside of ithe 'ill somewhere, and I took a drink. It gave me a Dbit of strength. And "lhen I kept on some more—until all of |® sudden, I slipped and fell, just when !1 was beginping to see dyelight. And jthat's’ all T know. ’'Ow long "ave I been gone?”. “Long emough to make me gray- |headed,” Fairchild answered with a {ttle laugh. - Then his brow furrowed. ;"You say you slipped and fell just as {you were beginning to see daylight?” i “Yes. It.looked like it was reflected {from below, 'somewyes.” i Falrchild ‘nodded. “Isn’t there quite a spring right by [Crazy Laura's house?” ! “Yes; it keeps going all year; {there's a current and it don't freeze iup. It comes out like it was a water- {fall—and there's a roaring noise be- ’ind it.” “Then that’s the explanation. You | followed the fissuré until it foined the !natural tunhel that the spring has {made through'the hills. 'And when you .reached the waterfall--well, you fell | with-at.” i .“But 'ow did I get ’ere?” i Briefly Falrchild told him, while {Harry pawed at his still magnificent {mustache. Rabert covtinued: i “But the tlme's not Tipe yet. Harry, ito spring It. We've got to find out {more abowt Rodalne first and what other trigks he's beem up to.

An(l if we're only glven enowgh time, Wl whip him.; “Pm going home to bed now; _T've gdt, to be up early in the! morning ‘and’ get‘hold of Farrell. Ybur case Comes up at court.” “And:Tm up n a ‘ospital!” Which fact the court the next.morn- ing recognized, on the testimony of the interne, the physician and the day nurses of the hospital, to the extent of & continuance until the Janwary term in the trial of the case. A thing which the court further recognized was the / substitution of five thousand dollars in:cash for the deeds of the Blue Pop- py mine as security for the bailee. ‘And with this done, the deeds to his mipe safe in his pocket, Fairchild went to the bank, placed the papers behind the great stecl gates of the safkty de- Pposit vault, and then crossed the street to \po tel ph office. A /long ines- (yage: was result, and g tmoney_or- der to Denver that ran beyond a hun- dred dollars. The instructions that went with-it to_the biggest forist in town were for the most elaborate floral design possible to be s:nt by ex- press for Judge Richmond's funeral— minus & card denoting the sender. Fol- lowing this, Fairchild returned to the hospital, only to find Mother Howard taking his place beside the bed of Harry. One more place called for his attention—the mine. Health returned slowly to the big Cornishman ; it would be a matter of weeks before he could be the genial, strong glant that he once had repre- sented. And in those weeks Fairchild was constantly beside him. Nor that there were no other things which were represented in Robert’s desires—far from it. Stronger than ever was Anita Richmond in Fair- child’s thoughts now, and it was with avidity that he learned every scrap of news regarding her, as brought to him by Mother Howard., Dully he heard that Maurice Rodaine had told friends that the passing of the Judge had caused only a slight postponement in their marital plans. Finally, back to his normal strength once more, Harry rose from the arm- il il “We're Going to Work Tonight,” He Announced. chair by the window of thie boarding house aud turned to Fairchfld. “We're going to work tonight,” he announced calmly. * “When?" Fairchild did not believe he understood. Harry grinned, “To- night. I've taken a notion. Rodaine ’Il expect us to work in the daytime. We'll fool *im. We'll leave the guards on in the daytime and work at night. And what's more, we'll keep a guard on at the mouth of the shaft while we're inside, not to let nobody down. See? Fairchild agreed. He knew Squint Rodaine was not through. And he knew also that the fight against the man with the blue-white sear had only begun. The cross-cut had brought wealth and the promise of riches to Fairchild and Harry for the rest of thelr lives. But it had not freed them from the danger of one man—a man who was willing to do anything in the world, it seemed, to achieve his pur- pose. Harry’s suggestion was a good one. Well, then Harry ran, to do much as Fairchild lad done, to chuckle and laugh and toss the heavy bits of ore about, to stare at them In the light of his carbide torch, and finally to hurry into the new stope which had been fashioned by the hired miners in Fair- child’s employ and stare upward at the heavy vein of riches above him. “Wouldn"t it knock your eyes out?” he exclaimed, beaming. “That vein's certainly five feet wide,” Continued in next issue It's toasted.

The haze was most noticeable in the up- ‘per air currents at morning and eve- ning, when distant objects were al- most obscured and the sun ' looked as it did when the forests were burn- ing two' years ‘ago. g s e » Lake Level Falling The ' level of Lake Bemidji has been' gradually falling for the past week until the water is again about where it was in June.

In another direction' the aerlal for- est fire patrol is of material value to Uncle Sam. The great military prob- lem in time of peace is to maintain fighting morale. To an extraordinary degree fighting forest fires calls forth the same qualitles required in fighting an armed foe. Locating a forest fire in the wild western country is almost ! identical with locating an enemy -bat- tery; reporting a forest fire to base headquarters by radlo is not essential- ly different from reporting artillery fire; dropping carbon dioxide to ex- tinguish. incipient forest fires—a pro- Jected development of the - near fu- ture—demands - the same . technical skill ag would dropping borhs.of TNT on an army ammunition:dump. The -aerial forest fire patrol, more- over, -provides ideal training for ob- servation squadrons. Liaison with the forest service is accomplished. much the same as with the infantry and ar- tillery in war operations. Tribe That Devours Its Children. “Since the doctor came here we have seen the most wonderful things happen. First of all he kills the slck people; then he cures them, and after that he wakes them up again.” So a native girl wrote of Dr. Albert Schweltzer, author of “On the Edge of the Primeval Forest,” wlo went out in 1913 to the Ogowe lowlands of the French colony of Gaboon, there to maintain for four and a half years a surgical and medical clinic for the ne- groes. “Qur country devours its ewn chil- gren,” was the sage remark of an old chief. -A- vicious climate, a plentiful lack of. proper food, overindulgence in || +um and strong -tobacco were: killing off the natives rapidly when Doctor .Schweitzer arrived. - One of the woyst problems was chronic nicotine poison- Ing, producing acuté constipation and nervous - disturbances. comés from America in the form of leaves, frightfully strong,:andis so highly prized by the natives that it is used as money—a single leaf hqymz two fine - pineapples. lerewski Easily’ Disturbed. : vski will not permit anybody to sit, béhind - him.- At some of his concerts: hundreds of seats could have been added on the stage.

But if she cannot do that I cannot play.’—O., D, Issacson in Hearst's, Ignition of Escaping Hydrogen. There have been so many cases of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen gas when - charging balloons that an In- vestigation has been carried on to determine - the cause. .By observing |. {n the dark a jet of hydrogen escaping through a pipe flange, it was found that a brush discharge of static elec- tricity was plainly visible. When the pipe was tapped, to stir up the dust, an explosion occurred. From the in- vestigation it would seem that the spontaneous ignition was due to the friction between the hydrogen and the dust of iron rust and to the brush discharge of static electricity from the electrified particles. — Popular Me- chundek Magazine.
