CHAPTER XI
They started forward then, making
their way through tho slime and silt
of the drift Mooring, slippery and wet
from years of Hooding. On on they
stopped.
Progress had become Impossible. Be
fore them, twisted and torn and piled
about In muddy confusion, the tlm
hers of the mine suddenly showed lit
a perfect barricade, supplanted from
behind by piles of muck and rocky
refuse which left no opening to tho
chamber of the stoju? beyond. Har
v's carbide went high In the air, and
be slid forward, to stnnd a moment
in thought before the obstacle. At
place after place he surveyed It. flnully
to turn with a shrug of hi shoulder's,
"It's going to mean nioro'u a month
of the 'ordest kind of work, Boy," came
his final announcement. "'Ow It could
nve roved In like that Is more thnh
I know. I'm sure we timbered It
good."
There was only one thing to do
torn buck. Fifteen mlmite.s more and
they were on the surface, making
their plans; projects which entailed
work from morning until night for
many a day to mine. Harry reached
for a new ax and Indicated another.
"We'll tut ties first," he announced.
And thus began the weeks of effort,
weeks In w-Jilch they worked with
crude appliances; weeks In which they
dragged the heavy stulls and other
timbers Into the tunnel nnd then low
ered them down the shaft to the drift,
two hundred feet below, only to follow
them In their counterbalanced bucket
and laboriously pile them nlong the
sides of the drift, there to await ue
later on. Weeks In which they worked
In mud and slime, as they shoveled
out the muck und with their gad hooks
tore down loose portions of the hang
ing wall to form a roadbed for their
new train.
It was it slow, galling progress, but
they kept at It. Gradually the tram
line began to take shape, pieced to
gether from old portions of the track
which still lay In the drift nnd supple
mented by others bought cheaply nt
that graveyard of miner's hopes the
Junk yard In Ohadl. At last It was
finished ; the work of moving the heavy
timbers .ecnmc easier now ns they
were shunted onto the small tram
truck from which the body had been
dismantled and trundled nlong the
rails to the rave-In. there to be piled
In readiness for their use. And finally-
A pick swung In the nlr, to give
forth a chunky, smacking sound, ns It
struck water-softened, spongy wood.
The attack ugnlnst the envc-in had be
gun. A foot nt a time they tore away
the old. broken, splintered timbers and
the rocky refuse which lay plied be
hind each shivered beam ; only to stop,
carry away the muck, and then rebuild.
Cold nnd damp. In the moist ulr of the
tunnel they lubored, but there wns a
Joy In It nil. Down here they could
forget Squint Itodnuie nnd his chalky
faced son; down here they could feel
that they were working twwnrd a goal
and lay aside the handicap which
humans might put In their path.
Day after day of labor and the In
dentation upon the cave-In grew from
n matter of feet to one of yards. A
week. Two. Then, as Harry swung
his pick, he lurched forward nnd went
to bis knees. "I've gone through !" he
announced In happy surprise. "I've
jone through. We're at the end of It!"
Up went Falrchlld'H enrblde. Where
the pick still hung In tho rocky mass,
a tiny hole showed, darker than the
surrounding refuse. There was Joy
In Harry's voice us he made u momen
tary survey.
"It's fulrly dry be'lnd there," lie an
nounccd. "Otherwise we'd have been
scrambling around in water up to our
necks. We're lucky thcye, uny'ow."
Again the attack nnd ngaln the hole
widened. At lust Hurry straightened.
"We can go In now," cmne finally.
"An! you willing to go with mo?"
"You mean 7"
But Harry stopped him.
"Let's don't talk about It till we
'ave to. Come on."
Silently they crawled through the
opening, the silt and Hue rod; rattling
uhout them as they did so, to come
upon fairly dry earth on the other
side, and to titart forward. Suddenly,
ns they walked along, Harry took the
lead, holding Ills lantern far nheud of
him, with one big hand behind it, as
thpugh for n reflector. Then, Just us
suddenly, he turned.
"Let's go out," came shortly.
"Why?"
"It's there I" In the light of tho
lantern, Harry's faco wns white, his
big lips livid. "Let's go"
But Fnlrchtld stopped lilim
"Hurry," he said, and thero wns de
fcrmlrntlon in his voice, "If It's there

the footwall of the drift where It
widened Into the slope, or upward
slant on the vein. Then, It enme forth
clearer, the thin outlines of something
which clutched at the heart of Hubert
Fulrehllil, which sickened him, which
caused him to fight' down a sudden,
panicky desire to shield his eyes and
to run a heap of age-denuded bones,
the scraps of a miner's costume still
clinging to them, the henvy shoes pro

CHAPTER XII.
Again there wns a long moment of
silence, while Harry stood pawing at
his mustache and while Hubert Fair
child sought to summon the strength
to do the thing which was before him.
All the suddenness of tho old days
had come buck to him, ghosts which
would not be driven away; memories
of a time when he was the grubbing,
though willing slave of it victim of
fear of a man whose life hud been
wrecked thniugh terror of the day
when Intruders would break their way
thnnigh the debris, and when tho dis
covery would be made. And It had
remained for Hubert Fulrchllil, the
son. to llnd the hidden secret, for lilm
to come upon the thing which had
caused the agony of nearly thirty
years of suffering, for htm to face the
alternative of again placing that grue
some llud Into hiding, or to square Ids
shoulders before the world und take
the consequences.
There was no time to lose In making
his decision. Beside lilm stood Harry,
silent, morose. Before lilm Fulr
chllil closed Ids eyes In an attempt to
shut out the sight of It. But still It
was then, the crumpled heap of tat
tered clothing and human remains,
the awry, heavy shoes still shielding
the lleshless bones of the feet. He
turned blindly, bis hands groping la
fore him,
"Hnrry," b called. "Harry! (let
me out of here I can't stand It '"
Wordlessly the big man came to bis
side. Wordlessly they made the trip
back to the hole In the rave-In and
then followed the trail of new laid
track to Hie shaft. I'iiip- the trip
so-mod endless as they Jerked ami
pulled on the weighted rope, Hint
their shaft bucket might travel to tho
surface. Then, at the mouth of the
tunnel, Hubert Fulrchllil stood for a
long lime staring imt river the soft
lulls and the radiance of t lit- snowy
range, fur nway. It gave lilm a new
strength, a new determination. Ills
eyes brightened with resolution. Then
he turned to the faithful Hurry, wait
ing In the background.
"There's no use trying to evnde any
thing, Harry. We've got to face the
music. Will you go with me to notify
the coniner or would you rather stay
here?"
"I'll go."
Silently they trudged Into town and
to Hie little undertaking shop which
also served as Hie olllce of the coro
ner. They miide their report, then ac
companied the olllcer, together with
the sheriff, bnrk to the mine und Into
Hie drift. There onco more ihey
(lumbered through the hole In tho
cave-In and on Inward the beginning
of the slope. And there they pointed
out their discovery
A wait for the remainder of that
day a day that seemed ages long, n
day In which Hobert Fnlrchlld found
himself facing the editor of the Iluglo,
and telling his story, Harry hosldo
htm. But he told only what he had
found, nothing of the past, nothing of
the while-haired man who had waited
by the window, cringing nt the slight
est sound on Hie., old, vine-chid veran
dn, nothing of the letter which lie had
found In the dusty safe. Nothing was
asked regarding that ; nothing could
bo gained by telling It, In the heart
of Hobert Falrrhlld was the convic
tion that somehow, some way, his fa
ther was Innocent, and In his brain
was n determination lo fight for that
Innocence as long as It wns humanly
possible. But gossip told vvliut he did
not.
There were those who remem
bered tho departure of Thornton Fair
child from Olindl. Thorn wero others
who recollected perfectly Hint In the
center of the rig was a man, appar
ently "Slssle" Larson. And they asked
questions. Tboy cornered Hurry, they
shot their queries at lilm one lifter
another. But Harry was iiilnmanl

Lute that night, us they were en

day to Mother Howard, there camo u

chllil bent toward her;
"Your name's out of this us long

She (.mllcd In her mothering, know

sheriff's office.

courthouse," ho announced. "The
coroner wants Mr, Fnlrchlld nnd Mr.
Hnrklns to come up thero und tell
what they know about this heru skele

Tl Wiis tfiu expect ed. The two men
went forth, to llnd Hie street nlioitt
the courthouse thronged, for already
the news of Hie lluillug of the skele
ton hail traveled far, even Into the
little mining campii whjih skirled Hie
town. Kvorjvvliero were blitck crowds
under the faint street lumps, Tho
liasemeut of the courthouse was Illu
minated: und lliere were clusters of
curious persons about the stairways.
Through (ho Hirougs sinned Harry
uml Fulrchllil, only to be drawn aside
by Fnrrell, the attorney.
"I'm not going lo take a pint In
this unless 1 have to," lie told them,
"It will look hotter for ou If It Isn't

They promised and went on. some
whut calmer In mind, to edge their
way to the steps and lo enter the
basement . of the courthouse. The
comncr nnd Ids Jury, composed of six
minors picked up !iiiplinf.iird along III"
