"!ci trlkm MPPrtl "Ilk pick. Ifcir. """?'"?.Ti;,",t f rM Franklin' lub CHAPTER V MRS. MAUDE HOG AN, aged 56, hid always held that while ntimobllei and bicycles and air- planet and luch contraptions were all right "for them as wants 'em," she herself would cling to the conveyances which she understood and loved. She had a genuine affection tor horses. She could handle mules, too. But for day-ta-an-day-out sen-ice when she was ore hunting to the wild Ari zona hills she would take burros every time. Burros are humble, dependable creatures of amazing endurance but negligible speed. Five to a row, carrying tent can vas and groceries and water can teen and pick and shovel and sundry utensils, look like a sort of huge gray caterpillar inching cross the mountains. Mrs. Maude Hogan walked beside such a cat erpillar this morning. If she felt like It she could ride one of the burros, but Mrs. Hogan was a pedestrian who rarely felt tired. She guided her charges through Joshua trees, making a short cut from the Dale ranch, and after topping a low hill she could see the deserted town of Goldcrest yonder in its historic canyon. It didn't Impress her. Mrs. Hogan was not given to esthetic consid erations. She saw in the colorful hills not the artistry of nature, but the chemistry of it Green cliffs Mnnntfwl nnt "tarnished bronze waiting a sculntor's hand," but a possible deposit of copper ore. White granite-like formations to her were not "wilderness castles MMatAjl hv 4h Mnctpr architect." but were Just rocks which might be crushed to show some valuable haU Mr Knnn'i husband had . ,UIUi been a poor prospector, and when his children grew up she herself took to the hills. Whenever she . got lonesome at it she came in and worked for Mrs. Dale. She had been there, canning apricots for Mrs. Dale, when the young and bubbly Roselee hired her. She trudged dutifully up. the deserted main street of Goldcrest at 10 o'clock this morning, paused ' In front of the Ace High Hotel and hollered. - "YOO-HOO-O-o-o!" Nobody answered and she hol lered again. : She looked in two or three buildings, and then because her eyes were keen -to detect out door phenomena, however small he iaw tracks . leading up the street toward the old Goldcrest nine shaft "Git! Git alongl" she ordered her burros, and moved with them to follow the tracks. TJUST was stiU 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 oft 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 quarter-hour when she caught Christine Palmer's hands and pulled that pale and fright ened girl through a rocky hole. Together they extricated Rose lee, then Franklin Larraway, and fuially big Dick Bancroft Despite the danger they had faced Dick managed now to look at all ol 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 to yer gills," she declared. "Why you woulda got out presently, with Mr. Rich ard here a diggin' that way, honey) But I shoulda got here sooner. Your ma'll chide me for neglecting 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 lost the flash, like a babyl 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. "You'd a got out. I'm curious. I'm a goln' back down In there for a spell just to look It over, right now." She disappeared down the shaft and the young folk trudged back toward their Ace High Hotel. Their own good spirits had al ready revived remarkably. "Weill" Roselee breathed, pres ently. "We're oft to a fine start We planned to thrill a lot of tour' Ists, and we begin by thrilling ourselves! Anybody too scared to go on?" -, "Nuti," said Dick, matter-of-factly. "Let's get to work. Anyhow we ot the money buried in there, It's under some of that fallen rock, safe as possible. Let's scatter as planned. And stay out of danger ous place, you guys!" TJOSELEE looked happily at him. She liked the way Dick Ban croft took .charge of things. With out a further word he and Frank lin left them they had already agreed on the order of the first day's work and she watched the two handsome youths striding to ward Franklin's car. She was looking more directly, however, at Dick himself. "Isn't Dick the best-looking thing that ever walked?" Chris tine breathed then, surprisingly. Roselee turned to look at her friend. 'Why Christy!" "Hmmm?" "Are roil Why. yes! Dick moves gracefully. He is a fine athlete, rememDer. i 1 uimis 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, tt is true; quite inconsequential as yet but recognizable. Roselee looked up to study anew Chris tine's erect posture, her long slen der legs and shapely body, the hair wave ana me proua sei m 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 mattter for kidding and fun. "Prettiest thing in Arizona next to you. Shall we go call Mrs. Hogan and get her settled first?" They wouldn'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 disguise." "Whv, Mrs. Hogan? Why do vou sav that?" Roselee looked curiously at her. "Nev" mindl You wait honey, till I'm shore what I'm a talking about!" . . . Roselee . changed the suoject Perhaps poor Mrs. Hogan was just an old lady getting a little queer, she guessed.
