Erskine of Demi, national committee member, nt the legion convention nt Now Or leans, It was learned on his return Sunday. Ersklno was appointed on tho constitutional amendments com mittee, and was elected chairman of tho bylaws committee of tho larger committee. Among tho Important changes were soveral In regard to the ladles' auxiliary. Its namo was changed, at tho ladles' request, to "Tho Amer ican Legion Auxiliary " Ersklne reports. Women eleglblo to tho le gion Itself were declared eleglblo to tho auxiliary together with mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of le gion members or of World war vet erans who havo died after honorablo discharge. This Is a change from tho provision that tho veteran must havo died prior to November 11. 1920, In order that his relatives might bo eleglblo. Legion members were prohibited frcun belonging to more than one post. Suspending of post charters was mado possible, whero before charters could only bo revoked. Now they may be suspended until the next department convention, when action must bo taken on revoking or rein stating the charter. Past national commanders were made life members of tho national committee without vote, and of the national convention with a vote to be cast with their department. Mem bers of the national executive com mittee were made delegates to the convention from their departments. The legionnaires at the convention were royally entertained at New Or leans, Erskine reports. Attendance was not so great as at the last con vention. Erskine will report to the local post at Its next meeting, Novem ber 16.

Half nn hour later, aided by two deputies who bad been summoned from their homos, Fnlrchllci nnd the sheriff left for the hills to begin the search for the missing Harry, l-ate the next afternoon, they returned to town, tired, their horses almost crawl ing In their dragging pace nftor six teen .hours of travel through the drifts of the hills nnd gullies. Hurry had not been found, nnd so Fnlrchlld reported when, with drooping shoul ders, he returned to the boarding bouse nnd to the waiting Mather How ard. And both knew that this time Harry's disappearance was no Joke, ns it had been before. They realized that back of It all was some sinister reason, some mystery which they could not solve for the present, nt least. That night, Katrchlld faced the future nnd made his resolve. There was only n week now until Harry's case should come to trial. Only n week until the failure of the defendant to appear should throw the deeds of the Blue Poppy mine Into the hands of the court, to be sold for the amount of the ball. And In spite of the- fact that Falrchlld now felt his mine to be a bonanza, unless some sort of n miracle could happen before that time, the mine was the same as lost. True, It would go to the highest bidder nt a public sale and any money brought In nbovc the amount of ball would be returned to him. But who would be that bidder? Who would get the mine perhaps for twenty or twenty-flve thousand dollars, when It now was worth millions? Certainly not he. Unless something should hnp pen to Intervene, unless Hurry should return, or In some way Falrchlld could raise the necessary Ave thou sand dollars to furnish a cash bond and again recover the deeds of the Blue Poppy, he was no better off than before the strike was made. Long he thought, finally to come to his conclu sion, nnd then, with the air of a gam Mer who hos plnccd his last bet to win or lose, he went to bed. But morning found htm awake long before the rest of the house was stir ring. The first workers on the street that morning found Falrchlld offering them six dollars n day. And by eight o'clock, ten of them were at work In the drift of the Blue Poppy mine, working against time that they might repair the damage which hud been caused by the cave-In. That day and the next and the next nfter that, they labored. Then Fnlr chlld glanced at the progress that was being made and sought out the pteudo toremnn. -Will It be mnlshed by night J" ht asked. "Easily." "Very well. I may need these men to work on n day and night shift I'm not sure. I'll be back In an hour." Away he went and up the shaft, tc travel as swiftly as possible through the drift-plied road down Kentucky gulch and to the bumpier. There lu sought out old Undertaker Clinntln .-, and with him went to the proprietor "My name Is Falrchlld. and I'm In trouble," he said candidly. "I've brought Mr. Clmstlr.e with me because he assayed some of my ore ti few day ago and believes he known wlmt It Is worth. I'm worklug against time to get five thousand dollars. If I can produce ore that runs two hundred dollnrs to the ton, nnd If I'll sell ft to you for one hundred seventy-live dol lars a ton until I can get the money I need, provided I can get the per- "Will You Put It Through for Mer mission of the court will you put It through for me?" Tho Sampler owner smiled. "If you'll let me see where you're cettlm.' the nr." Then he lluitred n S-CUT pejooper ILLUSTRATIONS R.B.VauNice, moment. "That'd lie thirty or forty ton," came nt last. "We could handle that ns fast as you could bring It In here." But a new thought had struck Falr chlld a now necessity for money. "I'll give It to yon for one hundred nnd fifty dollars a ton, providing you do tho hauling and loud me enough after the first day or so to pay my men." "But why nil the excitement nnd the rush?" "My partner's Harry Harkliis. He's due for trial Friday, nnd bo's dlsap. poured. The mine Is up ns security. You can see what will happen unless I can substitute a cash bond for the amount due before that time. Isn't thnt sulllclont?" "It ought to he. But ns I said. I want to see where the ore conies from." "You'll see In the morning If I've got It," answered Falrchlld with n new hope thrilling In his voice, "All that I have mi far Is an assay of some drill scrapings. I don't know how thick the vein Is or whether It's going to pinch out In ten minutes nftor we strike It. But I'll know- mighty sooiv Every cent thnt Itohert Falrchlld possessed In the world was In his pockets two hundred dollnrs. After he had paid bis men for their three days of labor, there would bo exactly twenty dollars left. But Fnlrcbtld did not hesitate. To Farroll's olllcc he went nnd with him to nn Interview, In chambers, with the Judge. Then, the necessary permission having boon granted, be hurried back to tho mini nnd Into the drift, there to find the hist of the murk being scraped nwny from beneath the site of the cave-In. Falrchlld paid off. Then be turned to the foreman. "How many of these men are game to take a chance?" "Pretty near all of 'em If there's any kind of a gamble to It." "There's n lot of gamble. I've got Just twenty dollars In my pocket enough to pay each man one dollar nplece for u night's work If my hunch doe.n t pan out. If It does pun. the wages are twenty dollars a day for three days, with everybody. Including myself, working like b 1! Who's game?" The answer enme In unison. Fair. child led the way to tho chiimbor, seized n hummer and took his place "There's two-tiunrireri-riollar ere back of this foot wall If we run break In nnd start a new Mope," he an- nounced. "It takes n six-foot bole to reach It, nnd we can have the whole story by n.irnlng. Let's got" Along the great length of the foot wall, ex.endlng nil the dlstnnro of the big chamber, the men began their work, live men to the drills and ns mnny to the sledges, ns they started their double-Jacking. .Midnight mine, the first of the six-foot drills sunk to Its ultimate depth. Then the soi-und and third and fourth; llnnlly the fifth, They moved on. Hours more of work, nnd the operation bad been reonted. The workmen hurried for the powder house, far down the drift, hy the shaft. lugging back In their pockets the yel low, cnndle-llkc clicks of dynamite, with their waxy wrappers and their gelntlnous contents, together with fuses and cups. Crimping nippers the Inevitable accompaniment of n miner ciiwe forth from the pockets of the men. Cnrcful tumping, hen the men took their places at tho fuses, "Clvc the word!" one of thorn an nounced crisply us he turned to Falr chlld. "Each of us'll light one of these things, and then I say we'll run I Because this Is going to be some ex plosion !" Falrchlld smiled the smile of a man whose heart Is thumping nt its maxi mum speed. Before him In the long lino of the foot wall wcro ten holes, "upholes," "downs" und "swimmers," tttucklng the hidden ore In every di rection. Ten holes drilled six feet Into the rock and tamped with double charges of dynamite. Ho straight ened. "All right, men! Iteudy?" "Heady !" "Touch 'em off!" The carbide lumps were held close to the fuses for a second, .Soon they wore nil going, spitting like so many venomous, angry serpents but neither Fnlrchlld nor the miners hnd stripped to wutcli. Tl(i;y were running us hard ns posslliln for the shaft and for the protection that distance might give. A wult that seemed ages. Then: "One!" "And two and threol" "There goes four nnd Ave they went together I" "Six seven eight iilnn " Again u wait, while they limited at one another with vacuous eyes. A long Interval until the tenth. "Two went together then! I thought we'd counted nine?" Tho foreman stnreil, nnd I'litrchlld studied. Then his face lighted. "Eleven's right. One of them must havo sot off the charge that Harry left In (hero. All the heller It gives us Juit that much more of n chance." Hack they went along the drift tun. ml now, coughing slightly ns tho sluirp unoke of the djnutnlto cut thvlr lu.ig -a long Journey that seemed ns tunny miles Instead of feet, Then with a shout Fnlrchlld sprung for ward, nnd went to his huml mul knees. It was there before him nil about him tho black, heavy music of tend silver ore, a groat, heaping, live-ton Ijllc of It where It bad been thrown (ilt by the tremendous force of tho explosion, It seomod that the whole great iloor of the cavern was covered with It, ami the workmen shouted with Fatrchllil as they soiled bits of the precious black stuff and hold It to thu light for cliwer examination. "Look I" Tho voice of ono of lliotu was high nnd excited. "You can see the line streaks of silver sticking out I It's high-grade and plenty of III" But Falrchlld paid little attention. He was playing In the stuff, throwing It In the air nnd letting It fall to the tloor of the cavern again, like n boy with n now sack of marbles, or a child with Its building blocks. Five tons and the night was nut yet over I Five tons, and the vein bail not jet shown Its other side! Back to work they wont now. Agnln through the hours the drills lilt Into the rock walls, while tho ore car clat tered along tho tram line and while the croaking of the block and tackle at the shaft seomod endless. In three days, approximately forty tons of ore mint come out of that mine and work must not cease. Morning, and In spite of the sleep ladon ejes, the heavy aching In bis head, the tired drooping of the shoul ders, Falrchlld tramped to the board ing homo to notify Mother Howard anil ask for news of Harry. There had been none. Then ho wont on, to wntt by the door of tho Sampler until Itlttson, the owner, should npponr, and drag him nwny up the bill, oven be fore ho could open up for the morning, "There It Is I" ho exclaimed, ns ho led htm to the entrance of the chain, her. "There It Is; take nil you want of It and nsny It I" Itlttson wont forwnrd Into tho cross cut, where thn men wore drilling even ut now- holes, and examined the vein. Already It was three feet thick, and there was still ore ahead. One of tho miners loked up. "Just finishing up on the cross-cut," he announced, ns ho nodded toward Ids drill, "I've Just "bitten Into the fiw.t wall on the other side. Looks to mo like the vein's about five feet thick as near ns I can measure It." "And" Itlttson nicked up a few samples, examined them by the light of the carbides and tossed them away "you can see the silver sticking out. I cnilgbt sight of a couple of pencil threads of It In one ortwo of those samples. All right. Boy!" ho turned to Falrchlld. "What was that bargain we made?" 'It was based on two hundred iln. larva-ton ore. This may run above or below. But whatever It Is, I'll sell all you can handle for the next three days at fifty dollars a ton under the assay price." "You've sold the word. The trucks will be here in nn hour If we have to shovel a path all the way up Ken tucky gulch." He hurried away then, while Fnlr chlld and the men followed him Into town und to their breakfast. Then, recruiting a now gang on the promise of payment at the end of their three ilay shift, Falrchlld went back to thu mine. But tho word hnd spread, and others were there before him. Alrondy tlftoou or twenty miners wore assembled about the opening of the lllue Poppy tunnel, nwalllng per mission to enter, the usual rush upon a lucky mine to view Its riches. Be hind Idin, Fnlrchlld could see others coming from Oundl to lake n look nt the new strike, and his heart bounded with happiness tlngoil with sorrow, Hnrry win not there to enjoy It all; Harry was gone, and In spile of his every effort, Fnlrchlld had failed to llnri him. Homo one brushed ngnlrixt him, am there came a slight tug at his coat Fnlrchlld looked downward to see passing the form of Anita Itlchmond. moment later she looked toward dim, hut In her eyes thorn was no light ( recognition, nothing to Indicate that she hnd Just given him n signal of greeting and congratulation.

He crumpled It In his hand, ho rubbed Ills lingers over It wondorlngly ; It hurl not been In Ids pocket before she had passed 1dm. Hurriedly he walked to the fur side of the chamber and there, pretending to examine n bit of ore, brought tho missive from Its place of secretion, to unfold It with trembling fingers, then to stare at the words which showed before him: "S'lillnt Knrialue Is terribly worried about something. Has been on an aw ful ruinpago all morning. Something critical Is brewing, but 1 don't know what. .Suggest you keep wutcli oi him. Please destroy this." That whs nil. Thorn was no slgim turo.
