Dick had been sent to Mexico to keep him out of just such scrapes as that into which he was now running. “So you see, Dolores, we will be married next week," Dick was saying, “and I will take you back to New York with me. The old man? Welk ho will kick, of course, but he'll soort iquiet down.

Pedro was glad that he had with- beld his hand that night. On the fol- lowing morning there came a rumb- ling sound among the masses of rock that overhung the executive offices of the mine. The whote mass slipped from its anchcrage and toppled down upon the buildings. Three men were in them at the time. Two were never found. Omne was carried out, crushed and mangled. That one was Dick. “There is one chance in a dozen,” said the mine doctor, after examining | him. “He must be kept absolutely quiet, and his father had better be no- tifled to start for Mexico at once.” They telegraphed to Dick's father, but to kecp him quiet was not so on both sides,” anewered the doc- tor. “Best say nothing about her, and I'll break the news to him tomor- row morning.” (Copyright, 4, by V.
