Miles out in the arid wastes. Jlmmie liar, rlnan, Pierre's chance companion, fells him that a man named Burnet, answering Rruce't de scription, (s irlln Colorado Bill stinting, for a lost lode at Mother .Jotmfain, a long march over (lis pertlout detert. Chapter 25 MOTHER MOUNTAIN LODE ttllHO Is this man, Colorado Bfll, " Mr. Harrlgan!" asked Pierre. "What does he look like?" "WaL he's a fairish big man wld grimly whiskers all over his face older than ye'd guess and hard as rock, and a cold, distrustful kind av an eye. He drifted Into Red Butte a few years back said he was from Colorado and aimed to prospect this country. Everybody calls him Colo rado, and nobody ever asked him any questions, which Is a handy habit fer some av us as you your aelf, I'm thtnkln', can testify." Pierre Ignored the Irishman's hint. "I can't Imagine how Bruce came to know a man like that. It's funny. If you ask me!" " 'Tis right you are. me lad, and there's a lot av things about the whole business that's funny not exceptln' yerself. Here ye come right out av nowhere, to find a man that nobody knows, who's gone oft wld somebody that nobody knows, to somewhere nobody knows where. We've pounded the trail two days, and camped one night, and divll a word have ye said to let me know about yourself. " TIs all right, av course," said Jimmle. "If It were not that I'm gettln' to like ye, I wouldn't be botherln'." N For a moment Pierre looked Into the older man's eyes, then, with a helpless gesture, turned sadly away. Presently he said: "Where Is this Mother Mountain? Can we see it from here?" The old prospector went to stand beside his young companion, say ing: "I may as well be glvin' ye the lay av the land so ye'll have It clear tomorrow. "That bunch of funny little round hills away over there to the south west Is the Biscuit Hills, where my mine Is. 'Tis only a prospect now, but it will be a mine some day. My camp is one day go from where we're standing. You can see the trail startln' there. That, patch av color that looks like fc-orasy-quilt, beyond and a little to the south of the Biscuit Hills. Is the Painted Mountains where our friend Colo rado Bill told me he was taking Mr. Burnes, or Bruce, or whoever he Is. "Now straight north, that blue mountain risin' out of the desert with two rounded peaks like a wom an's breast is Mother Mountain, where yer goin' to find Colorado Bill and yer man Bruce Carey, If ye don't meet thim comln' back. Blackwator Tanks Is at the foot av the mountain. As we're looking 'twould be right under the hollow between the breasts. From here to the Tanks Is a day and a half If you don't go too slow. There Is always water here at Drippin' Spring and In the Biscuit Hills. Sometimes there Is water at the Tanks. And, except for these three places, there Is never a drop av water In all this land for many a hot mile. "From Blackwater Tanks a man might go on the far side of Skele ton Peaks two days until he struck the road which runs from Red Butte north to Gold Center. Then It would bo another day to Gold Cen ter, or two days to Red Butte. But no man In his right mind would ever think av tryln' that route widout hnrmn to carrv water. Ye can see Skeleton Peaks to the east of Mother Mountain." "I see," said Pierre. "Well, between Burnt Hlllo which I showed you comln' across the mesa from Red Butte to here and them Skeleton Peaks is a low lyln" bit of country we call Skeleton Sink. There's r.s llvln' tping mat a vor rone Into that hell-hole and come out alive. Our desert Indians i-nti It lh nlace of the dead. "Thorn's not enough moisture there t wet the tongue of a horned tond." As If In mentioning the route Pierre would follow to Mother Mountain he had approached a sub ject upon which be did not wish to dwell, the Irishman turned anrupuy and beenn kindling the campnre. But Pierre was caught In the aiw.ll of the desert. "I can't make It seem real," he said In a hushed voice. "Gee. I wish Father Tonv mulrl see this!" "Father Tony!" Melalmwl tsA Irishman. ' 'Tis a good lad va are to be wishln' for a priest." Pierre laughed. "Father Tonv la not a priest, Mr. Harrlcan. He la ou actor, i call him Fnther Tony because he has always been like a father to me. You should hear him read 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players'!" As Pierre spoke with his best stage voice and manner, Harrlgao stood up and looked at his compan ion witn new interest. "By George!" Pierre exclaimed, that's what's the matter with all this." Pierre's sweeping gesture In dicated their surroundings. "I knew now why it s not real to me It's be cause It's only a stage set Don't you see, Mr. Harrlgan? the set pieces and drop scenes and every thing, like a stage scene. And you and I and Bruce and Colorado Bill, we are the actors." His eyes had that look as If be were seeing things his companion could not see, as he said reverently: "And mother mother Is standing there in the wings." The desert man turned to pre pare their supper, but watched hla companion with doubtful glances. 'Av It as to auess now about what's none av my business, I would say that ye do be a play actor yerself." Pierre answered mechanically, "I am. That Is, I was going to be an actor. My mother was an actress. I was on the stage with her when I was little. She used to stand In the wings when I played my parts. I think she does it yet. She died when I was only a boy. "Mother thought I would . be a great actor. I thought bo too. But now, I'm nothing but a clerk in a soda fountain." "A soft drink bartender, heh?" "I was ready to go to New York to study for the stage. That was what mother planned for me, but Bruce Oh, well, that part of It is all over now." "This Father Tony's not your real father, you ssy?" Inquired Harrl gan, "and you have no kin to help you out of this trouble?" "Father Tony was Just a friend of mother's. I haven't seen my own father since I was a little chap. I don't even know If he's living, I have nobody but Father Tony and Ann." As If In speaking the name ot Ann ho had aroused himself, he cried, "I've simply got to find Bruce. If I can get to him In time, every thing may all come right yet." ((There me boy. 'Tis no good losln' yer grip av yerself. Ye'll find yer man tomorrow or next day. Come now and put yerself outside a good All av beans and bacon, wld Java to wash It down. 'Tis food that'll make the world look bright er." For a while they ate In' silence, as the sun dropped below the dis tant mountains. The food and the business of eating restored Pierre to a less emotional state of mind and presently he asked: "What do you think Colorado and Bruce are looking for, Mr. Harrlgan?" " 'Tis mortal sura 1 am that they're lookln" fer the lost Mother Mountain lode." "What is It they are looking for?" "An' have ye never heard tell a the lost lode of Mother Mountain?' "But what Is this lode a load of what?" Again the Irishman laughed. "Will you listen to' that your Ig norance, me lad, Is as amazing as It Is ridiculous. This lost. Mother Mountain lode Is a big vein of gold somewhere In Mother Mountoln. Nobody knows where It Is, though many, Includln' myself, had bad a try fer to find It The reason It's lost Is because the prospector who discovered It gol himself lost in Skeleton Sink. Some geologist sharps prowlin' around on the edge of the Sink found the poor prospec tor's hones and a little bag full of rich gold quam. and later another prospector found what was left of the poor rat's outfit at Blackwater Tanks. "The old prospector had found this lode within striking distance of Blackwater Tanks, and Colorado and Bruce, if that's who be Is, must have a danged good notion where it Is, else why would Colorado go Into that country this dry time av year an' why would he lie to me like he did about where they was goln'?" (Ctr'il't ' 0 Melee Ce.) "Proipectin fer troubla." That's an irithman'a oD'ntin tomorrow when Pierre's real -nation la r- vealed. Wall Street Report r3n--r! M'-tn.r-i Kcnnlcot Copper Mont.
