saw tracks leading up the
street toward the old Goldcrest
mine shaft.
"Git! Gil along!" she ordered
her burros, and moved with them
to follow the tracks.
Dust was still eddying, settling
when she came to the gaping hole
in the mountain side that marked
the old mine shaft. It alarmed
her at once.
"YOO-HOO! Miss Roselee?"
She cupped her hands behind
her ears, and heard enough to
make her move swiftly. In scarce
ly no time she had jerked her
lantern and a pick off a burro, and
was hastening into the yawning
mine shaft herself. She went
down its slope at a trot, fear in
her old heart. She had been
around mining people all her life.
She knew some of the dangers
that beset them.
For once, though, Providence
had been kind.
Mrs. Hogan labored for no more
than a quarter-hour when she
caught Christine Palmer s hands
and pulled that pale and fright
ened girl through a rocky noie.
Together they extricates Kose-
lee, then Franklin Larraway, and
finally big Dick Bancroft. Despite
the danger they had faced Dick
managed now to look at all of
them with a reassuring smile.
There was a great deal of talking
and shaking and thanksgiving and
trembling, and worrying without
reason, and when they came to
daylight again the young people
realized they had been imprisoned
for almost two hours. Mrs. Hogan
inspected the girls.
"Ye're both pale in yer gills,"
she declared. "Why you woulda
got out presently, with Mr. Rich
ard here a diggin that way, noney:
But I shoulda got here sooner.
Your ma'll chide me for neglect
ing you like this!"
She comforted Roselee, dusting
her and talking affably.
"Only thing, Mrs. Hogan
Franklin put in, "we were afraid
our digging would cause another
cave-in. And we didn't have any
tools, or any sort of light. I lest
the flash like a baby! We knew
we were digging right because we
could get a whiff of fresh air, but
we were surely scared. We owe
you plenty for happening along.'
"That ain't so, son!" the good
lady said, but she beamed under
his kindness, even so. "Youd
got out. I'm curious. I'm a goin'
back down In there for a spell just
to look it over, right now.

tly. "We're off to a fine start,

ous places, you guys'."
Roselee looked happily at him.
She liked the way Dick Bancroft
took charge of things. Without a
further word he and Franklin left
them they had already agreed on
the order of the first day's work
and she watched the two handsome
youths striding toward Franklin's
car. She was looking more direct
ly, however, at Dick himself.
Isn't Dick the best-lookine
thing that ever walked?" Chris
tine breathed then, surprisingly.
Koseiee turned to look at her
friend.
"Why Christy!"
"Hmmm?"
"Are you? Why, yes! Dick
moves gracefully. He is a fine
athlete, remember. I I think
we re lucky to have hired him
Roselee turned the talk into
business. But in her heart had
been planted a sudden new worry.
A vague, undefined little worry,
it is true; quite inconsequential as
yet, but recognizable. Roselee
looked up to study anew Chris
tine's ereni posture, her long slen
der legs and shapely body, the
nair wave and the proud set of
her head which made her friend
distinctly statuesque.
You are beautiful, Christine!
Roselee declared, suddenly, and
meant it. And sweet!
Christy looked at her a trifle
curiously. "Sure. Just discover
ing it, kid?" She thought it mere
ly a matter for kidding and fun.
Prettiest thing in Arizona next
to you. Shall we go call Mrs
Hogan and get her settled first?"
J. hey wouidn t venture again
far into the shaft, and they heard
her coming back out anyway. The
good woman's eyes were lighted
with something more than the
presence of daylight when she
came from the hole. She held
five or six egg-sized rocks in her
hands, clutched them close to her.
"Children," she spoke excitedly,
'I alw'ys say trouble is right fre
quent a blessing in diguise."
"Why, Mrs. Hogan? Why do
you say that.' Roselee looked
curiously at her.
Nev' mind! You wait, honey,
till I'm shore what I'm a talking
about!"
Roselee changed the subject.
Perhaps poor Mrs. Hogan was
just an old lady getting a little
queer, she guessed.
