PAOB't BK.VD BULLETIN, BEND, OEMOQX, THUIWHAY, AUQUHT 17, IBM CROSS-CUT J sB IKS: WIKfi? (bmstrtrr "With n new enthusiasm, n greater desire than ever lo win out In the fight willed liml brought him to Ohaill, lie hurried lo the courthouse nnd the various technicalities which must ho coped with before he could really call the Itlue Poppy mine his own. It was easier than he thought. A few signatures, nnd he was free to wander through town to when Idlers had minted out Kentucky gulch nnd to begin the 6tecp nscent up the nar row road on a tour of prospecting that would precede the more legul and more safe, system of fi surveyor. The ascent wns almost sheer In places, for In Kentucky gulch the hills huddled close to the little town and rose In precipitous Inclines al most before the city limits had been reached. He stepped aside to allow the passage of ore-laden automobile trucks, loaded until the springs had flattened and until the engines howled with theJr compression an they sought to hold back their bunions on the steep grade. And It was as he stood there, watching the big vehicles travel down tho mountain side, that Fair child caught a glimpse of a human figure which suddenly darted behind n clump of scrub pine nnd skirted far to one side, taking advantage of every covering. A new beat came Into Falrchlld's heart. He took to the road again, plodding upward, seemingly a man entirely bereft of suspicion. A quarter of a mile he went, a half. Once, as the road turned beside a great rock, he sought Its shelter and looked back. The figure still was fol lowing, running carefully now along the bank of the stream In an effort to gain as much ground as possible before the return of the road to open territory should brine tbe necessity of caution again. A mile more, then, again In the shel ter of rocks, he swerved and sought a hiding place, watching anxiously from his concealment for evidences of dis covery. There were none. The shall ower came on, displaying more and more caution as he approached the rocks, glancing hurriedly about him aj he moved swiftly from cover to cover. Closer closer then Falrchlld repressed a gasp. The man was old, almost white-haired, with hard, knot ted hands which seemed to stand out from his wrists; thin and wiry with the resiliency that outdoor, hardened muscles often give to age, and with a face tiiat held Falrchlld almost hyp notized. It was like a hawk's; hook beaked, colorless, toneless In all ex pressions, save that of a malicious tenacity; "the eyes were slanted until they resembled those of some fantas tic Chinese Image, while Just above tbe curving nose a blue-white scar ran straight up the forehead. Squint Jtodalnel So he was on the trail already! Falrchlld watched him pass, sneak around tl)p corner of the rocks, and stand a moment In apparent bewilder ment as he surveyed the ground be fore him. A mumbling curse and he went on, his cautious gait discarded, walking briskly along the rutty, boulder-strewn road toward a gaping hole In the hill, hardly a furlong away. There h? surveyed the ground care fully, bent and stared hard at the earth, apparently for a trace of foot prints, and finding none, turned slowly and looked Intently all about him. Carefully he approached the mouth of the tunnel and stared within. Then, he straightened, and with another glance about him. hurried off up a jrulch leading away from the road. Into the hilts. Falrchlld lay and watched hlni until he wns out of sight, and he knew Instinctively that a sur veyor would only cover beaten terri tory now. Squint Itndnlne. he felt sure, had pointed out to him the Iilue Poppy mine. Hurriedly he descended the rocks once more to turn toward town and toward Mother Howard's boarding house. He wanted to tell her what he had seen and to obtain her help and counsel. Quickly he mnde the return trip, crossing the little bridge over the tur bulent Clear creek and heading toward the hoarding house. Half a block away he halted, ns a woman on the vernndii of the big, squarely built "hotel" pointed him out, and the great figure of u man Elicit through the gute, shouting, nnd hurried toward him. A tremendous creature lie was, with red face und blurk hair which seemed to scramble in nil directions at once, and with a mustache which appeared to scamper in even more directions than his hair. Falrchlld was a large mini; suddenly ho felt himself puny and Inconsequential as tho inustodonlc thing before him swooped forward, Bprend wide (he big arms and then caught him tight In them, causing the breath to puff over his lips like the exhaust of a bellows. A relenso, then Falrchlld felt him self lifted und set down again. He pulled hard at his breath. "yVhut'B the mutter vjh your be Courtney cooper IiLUSTRnONS ffiRB.VatiNice, exclaimed resin", 'ou've (inula "5 mistake:" "I'm Mimed If I 'aver bellowed n tomudo-IIke voice. "Itllme! You look Just like Mm!" "Hut you're mistaken, old man!" "llllmod If I ami" came again. "You're your dad's own boy ! You look Just like 'im! Don't you know me?" He stepped back then and stood grinning, his long, heavily muscled amis hanging low nt his side, his mustache trying vainly to stick out In more directions than ever. Fnlrchlld rubbed n hand across his eye. "You've gut me I" came at Inst. "You don't know me? 'Onest now. "I'm 'Arry From Cornwall I" don't you? I'm 'Arry! Don't you know now? 'Arry from Cornwall!" CHAPTER VII It came to Falrchlld then the sen tence In his father's letter regarding someone who would hurry to his aid when be needed him, the references of Ilenmlsli, nnd the allusion of Moth er Howard to n faithful friend. Again the heavy voice boomed: "You know me now, eh?" "You bet! You're Harry Hnrklns!" "'Arklns It Is! I came Just us soon as I got the cablegram !" "The cablegram?" "Yeh." Harry pawed at Ids won derful mustache. "From Mr. Heamlsb, you know. 'K sent It. Said you'd started out 'ere all alone. And I couldn't stand by and let you do that. So ere I am !" "Hut the expense, the long trip across the ocean, the" "Kre I am!" said Harry again. "Ain't that enough?" They hnd reached the veranda now, to stand talking for a moment, then to go within, where Mother Howard awaited, eyes glowing. In the parlor. Harry Hung out both arms. "And I still love you!" he boomed, as he caught the gray-haired, laugh- Ing woman In his arms. "F.ven If you i did run me off and wouldn't go back to Cornwall !" Red-faced, she pushed him away and slapped his cheek playfully; It was like the tap of a light breeze against granite. Then Harry turned. "'Ave you looked nt the mine?" The question brought back to Fair child the happenings of the morning and the memory of the man who hnd trailed him. He told his story, while Mother Howard listened, her arms crossed, her head bobbing, and while Hurry, his big grin still on his lips, took In the details with avidity. Then the grin faded. "I.e's go up there," he said quietly. This time the trip to Kentucky gulch wns made by skirting the town; soon they were on the rough, narrow roadway leading Into the mountains. A long time they walked, at last to stop In the shelter of the rocks where Fiilrchlld hnd shadowed Ills pursuer, nnd to glance carefully ahead. No one was In sight. Harry Juhhed out a big finger. ""That's It' he announced, "straight u'cad!" They went on, Falrchlld with a grip ping nt his throat that would not down, lids had been the hope of his father and here Ids father had met what? He swerved quickly and stopped, facing the bigger man. "Hurry," came sharply. "I know that I may hu violating an unspoken promise to my father. Kut I simply cun't stund It nny longer. What hap pened here? There was some sort of tragedy." Harry chuckled in concealment, Falrchlld thought, of something he dldQot wuut to tell lilru "I should think sot Tint timbers gnve way nnd the mine cnvrtl In 1" "Not that I My father ran nwny from this town. You nnd Mother Howard helped him. Yon didn't come back. Neither did my father. Even tually It killed him." "So?" ' Harry looked seriously nnd studiously nt the young man. '"IJ didn't write me ofYn," "He didn't need to write yon, You were hero with him when It hnp loned." "No" Harry shook his head. "I wns III town. What's Mother Howard told jou?" "A lot nnd nothing." "I don't know any more than she does." "Itut ", "Friends didn't nsk questions In those days," came quietly. "I might 'nve guessed if I'd wanted to hut I didn't wunt to." "Hut If you hnd?" Hurry looked at him with quiet, blue eyes. "Whnt would you guess?" Slowly llohert Fnlrchlld's gnr.e went to ttie ground. There wns only one possible conjecluro: Slssle l.nrsen hnd been Impersonated by u woman. Sis sle l.nrsen bud never been seen again In nhititl. "I I would hnte to put It Into words," came finally. Harry slapped him on the shoulder. "Then don't. It was nearly thirty years ago. Let sleeping dogs lie. Tnkn a look a round before we go Into the tunnel." They reconnoltered. ttrst on one side then on ttie other. No one was In sight. Harry bent to the ground, and finding n pitchy pine knot, lighted It. They started cnutlnusly within, blink ing ngulnst the darkness. The outlines of a rusty "hoist," with Its ruble leading down Into a slanting hole In the rock, showed dimly before them a massive, chunky, deserted thing In the shadows. The timbers were rotting; one after nnother. they had cracked and caved beneath the weight of the earth above, giving the tunnel an eerie aspect, uninviting, dangerous. Harry peered ahead. "It ain't as hnd as It looks." came after n moment's survey. "It's only right "ere nt the beginning that it's caved. Hut that doesn't do us much good." "Why not?" Falrchlld was stating with Id in, on toward the darkness of the further recesses. "If It Isn't enved In farther back, we ought to be able to repair this spot." Hut Harry shook his head. "We didn't go Into the vein "ere." he explained. "We figured we 'ad to 'ave a shaft anyway, sooner or later. You cun't do under'nnd sloping In a mine go down on n vein, yon know. You've always got to go up you can't get the metal out If you don't. That's why we dug this shaft and now look at It!" ne drew (he flickering torch to the edge of the shaft and held It there, staring downward, rnlrchlld beside him. Twenty feet below there rnme the glistening rellectlon of the flaring flame. Water! Falrchlld glanced toward his partner. "I don't know anything about It." he said nt last. "Hut I should think that would mean trouble." "I'lenty!" agreed Harry lugubrious ly. "That shaft's two 'unnerd feet deep and there's n drift running off It for a couple o' 'unnerd feet more be fore It 'Its the vein. Four 'unnerd feet of water. 'Ow much money 'are you got?" "About twenty-five hundred dol lars." 'Harry reached for his wnvlng mus tache, his haven In time of storm. Thoughtfully he polled at It. staring meanwhile downward. Then he grunted. "And I ain't got tnore'n five 'unnerd. It nln't enough. I.e's go back to town. I don't like to stand n round this place and Just look nt water In n ole." They turned for the mr.uth of the tunnel, sliding nlong In the greasy muck, the torch extinguished now. A moment of watchfulness from the cover of the darkness, then Harry pointed. On the opposite hill, the fig ure of a man had been outlined for Just a second. Then he had faded. And with the disappearance of the watcher, Harry nudged his partner in the ribs nnd went forth Into the brighter light. An hour more nnd they were bnck In town. Harry reached for his mustache again. "On on down to Mother 'Ownrd's." he commanded. "I've got to wander around nnd say 'owdy to what's left of the fellows that wns 'ere when I wns. It's been twenty yrnrs since I've been nwuy, you know," ho added, "and the shaft ran wait," Fnl'rrhlld obeyed the instruction, looking buck over his shoulder us be wnlked nlong toward the hoarding house, to see the big llgure of his coin, pnnlnn loitering up the street, on the beginning of his hoine-onilng tour. The blocks passed. Falrchlld turned through the gate of Mother Howard's boarding house and went to his room to uwult the cull for dinner. The world did not look exceptionally good to him; his brilliant dreams had not counted upon the decay of more than a quarter of a century, the slow, hut sure dripping of water which hud seeped through the hills und made the mine one vast well, Instead of the free open gateway to riches which lie hud planned upon. An hour of thought nnd Fulrehlld ceased trying to look Into the future, obeying. Instead, tie Insistent clanging of the dinner hell from downstairs, Slowly he opened the door of his room, trudged down the slnlrcusc then stopped In bewil derment. Harry stood before him, In all the splendor that a miner can know. He had bought n new sulf, hrllllanl bjue, almost electric In Its llushlness, NEW ANGLE IN DEATH IS SEEN Relatives' Report of Other Injuries Not Enough Says District Attorney Unexplained details connected with (ho klllliiK of William F.
