. (Contipueq from last issue) 3 CHAPTER XIX He stooped and Anita, laughing at her ‘posture, clambered upon his back, her_arms_about his neck. Fairchild found- himself wishing that he could carry her forever, and that the road to the sheriff’s office were twenty miles away instead of two.: But her volce cut in on his wishes. “I can walk now. We can get along so.mitch faster!” came her plea. “I'll holg: on to you—and you can help me along.” ‘Fairchild released her and she seized his arm. Once, as they floundered through-a knee-high mass, Fairchild’s arm’.went quickly about her walst and he lifted her against him as he literally - carried her through. When they reached the other side, the arm 8till ‘held its place—and she did not resist.. Some way, after that, the stretch of road faded swiftly. Almost before he realized it, they were at the outskirts of the city. Grudgingly he gave up his hold up- on her, as they hurried. for the side- walks and for the sheriff's office. There ‘Fairchild did not attempt to talk—he left it all to Anita, and Bardwell, the #herif," listened. Taylor Bill had con- fessed to the robbery at the Old Times dance and to his attempt to so ar- range thé evidence that the blame would fall on Harry. Taylor Bill and Blindeye Bozeman had been caught at work in across-cut tunnel which led to - the ‘property of the Blue Poppy mine,“and one of them, at least, had admitted. that the sole output of the Silver ‘Queen had come from this thlev- ing. encroachment. Then Anita com- pleted the: recital—of . the plans of the Redaines to leave and of their depart- re'tor Center City. At last, Fairchild spoke, and told the happenings- fhich he had encountered in the ramshackle house ‘occupled by Crazy Laura. It was - sufficient. The sheriff reached for'the telephone. . “No need for hurry,” he announced. “Young Rodaine can’t possibly make that trip in less than two hours. We've got'plenty of time—hello—Central? Long ' distance, please. What's thaf? Yeh—Long Distance. Want to put in a.call for Center City.” A long wait, while a metalllc voice streamed over the wire Into the sheriff's ear. He bhung- up the recelver. “Blocked,” he sald shortly. “The wire's down.” “But there's the telegraph!” ,“It'd take half an hour to get the operator out of bed—office is closed. Nope. . We'll take the short cut. And we'll beat him there by a half-hour!” ‘Anita started, “You mean the Argonaut tunnel?” “Yes. 'Call up there and tell them to get a motor ready for us to shoot (straight through. We can make it at thirty miles an hour, and the skip in tlip Reunfon mine will get us to the surface In five minutes, The tunnel ends sixteen hundred feet under- ground, about a thousand feet from Center City," he explained, as he noted Falrchild's wondering gaze. “You stay here. TI'll be getting my car warmed up to take us to the tunnel.” A thumping sound came from with- out. Harry entered with his two cliarges, followed shortly by Bardwel, the sheriff, while just beneath the of- fice window a motor roared in the process -of “warming up.” A moment more and n steel door p}lnged upon the two men, while the officer led the way to his motor car. There he looked quizzically at Anita Richmond, piling without hesitation into the front seat. “You going too?" “I certainly am,” and she covered herintensity with a laugh, “there dre’ a number of things that I want to say to Mr. Maurice Rodaine—and T'haven't the patience to wait!" _Bardwell chuckled. The doors of the'car slammed and the engine roared louder than ever. Sgon they were c¢hurning along through the driving snow toward the great buildings of the Argonaut Tunnel company, far at the other.‘end of town, There men nlvéalted them, and a tram motor, to- gether with' its operator. The four pursuers took their places on the benches of the car behind the motor. The' trolley;was gttached. Then clat- tering. oflé the ' frogs, green lights flaghing m the trolley wire, the speeding rney was begun. Three miles, four, five, while Anita Richmond held close to Fairchild as the ‘speed became greater and the sparks from the wire above threw their green, viclous light over the yawning stretch before them. pushing the wheels at their greatest velocity; then the crackling of elec- tricity. suddenly . ceased, the motor slowed In its progress, finally to stop. \A greasy being faced them and Bard- *well, the sheriff, shouted his mission.

A long wait followed while Fairchild strove to talk of many things—and failed in all of them, Things were happening too swiftly for them to be put into crisp sentences by a man whose thoughts were muddled by the fact that beside him waited a girl in a whipeord riding suit—the same girl who had leaped from “am automoblile on the Denver highway and— It crystalized things for him momen- tarily, d “I'm going to ask you something after a while—something ;that I've wondered and wondered about. I know it wasn't anything—but-—" She laughed at him. “You really didn’t think I was the Smelter bandit, did you?” “Darned if I know what I thought. And I don't know what I think yet.” “It's very, very awful!” came in & low, mock-awed voice. “But—" then i the laugh came agaln—“maybe if you're good and—well, maybe I'll tell | you after a while.,” “Honest?” “Of course I'm honest! Isn’t that Alex Cameron was a pioncer in Beltrami county before a railroad had been built in the city’s corporate limits. In fact, Mr. Cameron was one of the men who shingled the firet house built in Bemidji and also aid- ed in the survey of the Great North- ern railway. Although Mr. Cameron has aa- vanced considerably in years since thi¢ picture was taken, the commun- ity in which he lives and for which he has always been a booster has also advanced in age and likewise in progress. Cast committees are sverlooking a good bet if they have not asked Mr. Cameron to take part in the historic pageant to be staged here during tite Northern Minnesota Fair. He can el of the old times in a way which should be of interest to those ar- ranging the historic drama. FRED MALZAHN Fred Malzahn was a pioneer res- ident of this community before they {ever began to call it a community. iilt wasn’t even a ‘“burg” in those {days. It was just a “place.” He has watched Bemidji grow and prosper and from all indications he will spend the balance of his days here and at that he still has quite a bal- | ance. | Fre dis anothe rof those fellows | who might be consulted by the pag- {eant directors in securing details of | the early history of Northern Minn- “Got to catch some.people that are esota to be used in the staging of making a getaway through Center of the pageant here this month in Citv.: Can vou send us up in the skip?” connection with the fair. given much to say. At the present time, Mr.. Sathre is engaged in farming, in the ab- stract business and is also active in the Bemidji Business College to some extent. He might be asked to take part in the pageant. He always did appreciate a good joke. H. N. McKEE Chances are that even H. N. Mc- Kee wouldn’t recognize this picture if his name wasn’t used in connec- tion with it. Even then he may not »tadmit . But-it's: him and there’s no getting around that. Like all un- dertakers, he leads a quite life es- pecially in this live community where |the only dead ones are in no position |to interfere with the progress of the | cimmunity. Since this fellow “buries: his dead” 'he might be induced ta take the | part of Indian Brave during the | showing of the pageant at the North- ern Minnesota fair, MATT MAYER ] Matt Mayer is one of the older old timers in Bemidji and vicinity. In fact he has been here o long that at the present time he is a retired farmer and is living in the city of Bemidji. He is in a position to tell some of the old timers several in- teresting happenings before their day and he should prove good mater- ial for the historic pageant to be staged here this month in connection with the Northern Minnesota Fair. Matt was recently elected con- stable of Grant valley township and refused to take office unless provid- cd Wwith a star suitable to the dig- nity of his official duties. A hunk of tin and a blacksmith fumnithed the necessary material for making the badge of office and it is under- stood Matt then assymed:his duties.

Walch pro- duction fow Associated First Nation- al Pictures, Inc., which opens at Rex theater Thursday for a two days’ showing, contains a scene which has been hailed by critics as being the most dramatic that has ever been filmed or staged. A series of fast moving, interesting circumstances has involved Hugh Colman in a sit- uation where his conviction for mur- der is absolutely certain unless he breaks an oath given to his wife when he had ‘secretly married. But there is-another woman whom he has loved. Although her love has been given to his dearest chum, she makes the greatbst sacrifice a8 woman can make to save Hugh from the gal- lows and succeeds. The scene is one of the strongest’ ever put into a mo- tion picture production, and the tangled net which results from her action in the’ lives of four persons provides a most absorbing -double love story. 5 “BEYOND.
