CHAPTER X
Fetteks or Fah-ubb
At the home of Ruth Ranger,
Eugene Craig was in earnest con
versation with Dmr.y. The girl had
been injured by the water wheel
and was upstairs under the care of
a nurse. Craig had escaped from
the perilous predicament uninjured.
"It's all my fault, Mr. Craig,"
Dinny Wailed. 'Mallinson gave the
girl a revolver and told her she
would find you at the dam. I did
my best to warn you. If I had only
been on the job Miss Ranger would
not have been hurt."
At that moment, Henry Mallinson
entered the room
"I'm on to your dirty tricks,
.Mallinson," Craig almost shouted,
'and from now on it's a fight to the
finis1 He approached the man
nicnacir.gly.
The doctor, seeing a struggle was
aboLt to take place, interfered. "You
must be quiet," he warned. "Miss
Rather is out of danger, but she
must not be disturbed. And, under
no circumstances will she be per
mitted to taik business fer at least
two weeks."
Maiiinson was highly elated at
the doctor's orders. If they were
enforced, the dam at Lost River
could not be completed and Ruth
would have to live up to her agree
ment. Mallinson immediately hunted
up the nurse.
"It would be worth your while
to carry out the doctor's orders," he
said, Handing the nurse a large sized'
bill, "particularly in regard to that
Craig man."
Whiie the days slipped by and
Ruth was convalescing, she became
more and more resdess over prog
ress at the dam. She wondered
why Craig or Weatherby had not
gotten in touch with her. She had
no suspicions of th; work c-f Mallin
son, and was ignorant of the fact
that no;es had been withheld repeat
edly from Craig and hei vice
president. If Craig had his worries there
was also another party in our drama
that shared them with him. Vivian
Oelamar loved Mallinson madly, and
as tne days slipped by, she saw
kuth would be lorced to marry the
man she loved, unless something
came to a head immediately. Vivian
determined to lend her assistance to
Ruth to do something that would
keep Mallinson from marrying the
girl.
Consequently, she sought Dinny
and explained that he would have
Jo get access to Ruth and find out
who the money should be received
from at the completion of the dam.
Ruth had virtually been a prisoner
and was out of touch with every
body connected with her project.
By strategy Dinny managed to
climb in a window and toss a note
to the girl. His eflorts were re
warded by the information that he
must seek a Mr. Crawford, for
whom the dam was being construct
ed, ar,d have him at the Ranger
home the next morning.
In i few days Eugene Craig had
accomplished the impossible. The
Lost River Dam was completed on
achedule time. The important
move next, however, was to get the
check from Crawford and pay Mal
linson bai;k the money loaned.
Otherwise Ruth would lose every
thing - Haunted Valley and Craig
for she had pledged herself in mar
riage to Mallinson should she fail
to repay the million.
A bronze slab was brought in
bearing the following inscription:
"Lost kiver Dam
Designed and Constructed
For The
Crawford Power and Electric Co.
By
Ranger, Inc . Ennineers."
"Hung it up on the dam, boys!"
Craig shouted jubilantly. "It's all
over now but trie cheerine.
Meanwhile, Mallinson was doing
all in Ins power to prevent the final
ravmrnt. His last precaution was
to phone the nurse and instruct her
to admit no one to si-e the patient
(..inseqiiemly, when Mr. Craw
ford arrived, he discovered that it
was impossible to see Miss Ranger.
Aa he was about to leave the house
Dinny appeared on the scene and
explained the importance of his
visit The youngster then outlined
a rln for the man to gain access
to the patient. Dinny planned to
fall downstairs, and in the confus
ion, Crawford was to slip into the
mom.
Dlnnv's acrobat scheme worked
like a charm, and the head of the
Oawfutd plan) alto showed consid
erable agility in slipping by the
nurses and entering the room. A
look of glad surprise passed over
the girl's face as she beheld her
client.
"Mr. Crawford," she began,
powerful enemies have tried to pre
vent me from paying a million dol
lar loan, and 1 am relying on your
check to beat them. I wouldn't ask
this favor, I can assure you, if it
were not necessary."
"Yon are a plucky girl, Miss
Ranger, Crawford answered, "and
you can count on me to the limit.
I'll inspect the dam at once, and if
things are satisfactory I will per
sonally place in your hands, before
noon, our check for one million
dollars."
Unfortunately, this was over
heard by the nurse, who was amazed
when she heard Crawford's voice in
the sick-room. She lost no time in
calling Mallinson and informing him
what had happened. The latter was
thunderstruck by the news. He
thought rapidly and then began to
make his plans for intercepting
Crawford and the million dollar
check.
Eleven o'clock had arrived, and
by that time Crawford had com
pleted his inspecion of the dam and
given his O. K. to all the construc
tion work, much to the joy of Craig.
Then both of them lost no time in
climbine into fau.-fnrH' m..k:
.h.viu uiaiuujc
to bring the check to Ruth Ranger.
jiicoiioiiuc, nuin, aespite the
nurses protests, had gone to her
office, and with Weatherby anxi
ously awaited the arrival of the
check. Mallinson, too, "waited in his
own office, hoping that the check
would not arrive at the specified
time.
Craig and Crawford were speed
ing toward the city when suddenly
two horsemen sprang out from a

ordered them to stop. The car only

in pursuit. Several shots rang out,
one of them puncturing a rear tire.
Another shot bored a hole through
the gasoline tank. Suddenly the
car, due to the punctured tire,
swerved and collided with a tele
phone pole. Crawford was knock
ed unconscious, and Craig, seeing
the horseman was tact ar.rrr.r.

Meanwhile, Ruth and Weatherby
were anxiouslv awaitins the arrival
of Craig and Crawford with thi
cneck. I he silence was broken by
the office clock striking twelve the
fatal hour. Ruth heard approaching
footsteps.
"Thank Cod!" she exclaimed,
"It's Crawford!"
But it was not Crawford. Henry
Mallinson smilingly entered the
office.
"I am sorry you could'nt make
the payment on the loan, Ruth," he
smiled, "but I am entirely satisfied
with the security."
The girl could scarcely believe
that she had failed. Her thoughts
were interrupted by the ring of ha
telephone.
"This is police headquarters," I
voice said. "We've got a party here
who calls himself Craig. We caught
him as he was getting away with I
check for a million dollars made out

"Ye Yes!" Ruth answered hope

turning to Mallinson, "I keep my
