They khew if we ever ‘It that veln it ,wouldn't be any time until they’d be caught on the job. That's why they're ready to pull out—with somebody .elst’s million. They're getting at the end of their rope. ' Another thing; that expldins them working at night.” ‘Anita gritted her teeth. - “I'dee it mow—I can get the reason. ‘They've been telephoning ‘Denver and ‘holding conferences and all that sort jof thing. And they planned to leave ithese’ two men ‘behind here to take all the blame.” “They’ll get enough of it!" added Harry grimly. “They're miners. They could see -that they were making a straight .cross-cut tunnel on to our vein. They ain't no children, Blindeye and Taylor. Bill. And ‘ere's where they start getting their trouble.” He pulled at the door and it ylelded grudgingly. The three slipped past, following along the line of the tram track in the darkness, Harry's pick handle, swinging beside him as they sneaked along. Rods that seemed Imfles; at last lights appeared in the distance. Harry stopped to peer ahead. Then he tossed aside his weapon. “There's only two of 'em—Blindeye and Taylor Bill. I could whip 'em both myself, but I'll take the big 'un. You—" he turned to Fairchild—*you get Blindeye.” “I'll get him.” Anita stopped and groped about for a stone. “I'll be ready with something in case of accldent,” came with determination. “I've got a quarter of a million in this, myself " They went on, fifty yards, a hun- dred. Creeping now, they already were within the zone of light, but be- fore them the two men, double-jack- Ing at a “swimmer,” had their backs turned. Onward—until Harry and Falrchild were within ten feet of the “high-jackers,” while Anita walted, stone In hand, in the backgrounc. Came “a yell, high-pitchdd, fiendish, racking, as Harry leaped forward. And before the two “high-jackers” could coricentrate enough to use their sledge and drill as weapons, they weie whirled about, battered against the hanging wall, and swirling in a daze of blows which seemed to come from everywhere at once. Wildly Harry yelled as he shot blow after blow into the face of his anclent enemy. High ‘went Fairchild’s voice as he knocked Blindeye Bozeman staggering for the tlllrd'?‘tlme against the hanging wall, only to see him rise and to knock him down once more. Dizzily the sandy-haired man swung about in bis tracks; sagged, then fel , unconscious. Fairchlld leaped upon him, calling at the same time to the gin: "é ‘Find me a rope! Il truss his {hands ‘while he's knocked out " g Anita leaped into action, to kneel 1,8t Fairchild’s side a moment later {§iwith ‘a hempen strang, as he tied the " 'man’s hands behind his back: Thera was no need to worry about Harry. Glancing out of a corner of his eye, Fairchild saw now that the big Cornishman had Taylor Bill flat on his back and was putting on the finfsh- ing touches. And then suddenly the exultant yells changed to ones of com- ‘mand. “Talk Englishy Talk English, vou bloody blighter] Talk English! ‘Ear me—T'll knock the bloody ’ell out of you if you don’t. Talk English—like ‘this: ‘Throw upy your 'ands! 'Ear mat "TAnita swerved swiftly and went to Harry looked up at her And | wildly, his mustache bristling like the spines of a porcupine. “DId you ’ear ’im sye it?" he asked. “No? Sye it again!” “Throw up your 'ands!” came the answer of the beaten man on the ground. - Anita ran forward. “It's a good deal like it,” she answered, “But the tone was higher.” “Raise your tone!” commanded Harry, while Fairchild, finishing his 1Job of tying his defeated opponent, rose, staring in wonderment. Then " ,|ithe answer came: “That’s it—that's it. It sounded [isust like i1 ; And Fairchild remembered too—the |English accent of the highwayman on ithe night of the Old Times dance. {Harry seemed to bounce on the pros- jtrate form of his anclent enemy. “BIll,” he shouted, “I've got you on your back., And I've got a right to iklll you.. 'Onest I ’ave. And I'll do it too—unless you start talking. I imight as- well kill you as not. It's t penitentiary .offense to it a man un- |derground unless there's a good rea- |son. So I'm ready to go the ole route. S0 tell it—tell it and be quick about {it.__Tell it—wasn't you him?’ Continued in next issue THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS S Toasreo it's toasted. This one extra process gives a delightful quality that can not be duplicated “CROSSROADS OF NEW YORK"” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY The “Crossroads of New York” the Mack Sennett special which is being released by First National, won the highest praise from the news- paper critics when’i{ was shown at 1 Los Angeles. “Under the two' column heading “Film 'is Rich “in Satire,” the Los Angeles Herald says: “A"more en- | tertaining, kickful picture has not come from the Sennett'fuh factory since the beautiful and subtle Mickey and Molly O!
