: _ THE EVENING ‘WORLD, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1922, THe Eve = cae HE kson FIFTH INSTALMENT. \s WHO’S WHO IN THE STO RY: ~ MARK KING, who follows the trail of the forest, comes to the lodge of his friend, , . BEN GAYNOR, to tell him of plans to find a gold mine supposed to be somewhere near a lone cabin on Lookout Ridge. Gaynor admits ‘that he is in financial straits, although his wife and daughter are en- 'tertaining a ‘house party of San Francisco’s fast young set. LOONEY HONEYCUTT, old hermit of Coloma, who has the secret of the mine, is too enfeebled to make the search. He is receiv~ ing undue attention from e SWEN BRODIE, brute outlaw of the mountains. King has seen Brodie throw a man over a cliff on the ridge. King goes to the as¢ sistance of the fellow, who is ANDY PARKER, a mountaineer, who confesses, as he dies, that he and Swen Brodie were trying to get to the mine—against thé curse of devil's luck! GLORIA GAYNOR, idolized daughter of Ben Gaynor, whose eyes are too blue for King to resist. She deserts her guests to set forth with King at dawn for a day in the forest. MR. GRATTON,’a devoted guest, who is jealous of King. King % does not like Gratton’s oily manners. Gloria rides with King to Coloma. She sees him call at the post- office for a package containing $3,000, and waits while he goes to the cabin of old Loony Honeycutt. Swen Brodie is at the cabin, threatening to kill Honeycutt, un- less he tells the secret of the gold. King interferes. They fight, but ‘old Loony gets Swen Brodie hands up, at the point of a rifle. King offers Honeycutt three thousand dollars cash for the secret of Lookout Ridge. Old Loony refuses. Finally King offers one hun- dred dollars for just a look into the box Swen Brodie tried to steal. He sees a small packet, a leather pouch and a burnished gold nugget.
