CHAPTER XV THE few rocki that Paul Colter had clutched In death, and the ether that Carolee had found in the. cave), proved to be as exciting to the axsayer at to the Coltera themselves. " "This sturTll go thousands of dollars a ton, man!" they told Mr. Colter in the Golden West Assay Office at Phoenix. "Where'd you fet it?" T fot tt staked in Superstition," he replied. "But this is all I could And." He didnt mention his son's death, but he did explain about the cave. "Oh. that's different, then." They were let down somewhat. "You just found a dribble. Some of that stuff the old Spaniards left up here. Old Miguel Peralta's crew. Ha worked Superstition. They'd pick up Just the best ore to pack back down to Sonora. It was 300-odd miles. They wouldn't carry no more dirt than necessary. They'd store their choicest pickin's tn a cave like that'n until they got enough to load their mules, then they'd high-tail on back home with tt. Likely you found some they put in there and over looked. It's been done before. Down where they worked the Vir gin of Guadalupe Mine, near Tu bac, they done that same thing. We've found their leavings." "VLD man Colter worked his quid of tobacco several seconds be fore he spoke again. He was rea soning, sensibly, that if the Span lards found nuggets of such value in Superstition, there must still be an extremely rich mine near the cave. He was anxious to get back and hunt some more. "Whut's these worth, as Is?" Re pointed to the bag of speci mens. - He sold them eventually for $400 cash. "That's more cash than we've had in 10 year," he confessed to his children, there on the Phoenix They set out to spend part of ft Carolee, having found most of the gold, took charge. She pur chased some essentials nd a few frills for her mother. She ordered a simple marker, at $35, for Paul's grave. She replenished their gro cery supply. At last, she went back to the clothing store she had left and bought herself a new riding outfit It wasnt too expensive, but it was "nice." She added two new blouses, colored scarves, and a port hat of felt. She looked long ingly at a rack of blazer Jackets. The red one cost $12.50 and she bought it . . rT0 come to town, the Colters - had staked their saddle horses at the foot of the trail where their eld car was kept back in the bushes, and motored in from there. Returning they agreed to go by the Lodge to see if the sheriff had, by chance, found any thing that might throw light on the death of Paul. "Stuart is out shooting at tar gets, my dear," Nina Blake greeted Carolee. "My but you're lovely! Are you always so fair? You're the prettiest thing Stuart's ever found!" ' Nina's admiration was genuine, but her frankness was embarrass ing. "Does he find' things often, Nina?" Carolee was a trifle spunky about it "Yes, of course. He has, I mean. The handsome mug is always pop ular. Once he thought himself in love. He has rushed debutantes until they almost purchased trous seaus." Carolee colored at that She had lust purchased clothes herself admittedly with the thought of pleasing Stuart Blake. "Does he say he has 'found' me, Nina? He hasn't mentioned that fact to me, and If he has any idea he can" "No no, honey, stop It!" Nina laughed gaily. "The boy's Jittery I FLAPPER FANNY CM IMt It NfA tctvwt.

Inc. about you, I tell you. and doesnt know how to act He lost his bal ance that day in the store, when you first met." Carolee wasnt used to such persiflage, yet it didnt seem for eign to Nina. Nina slept a few hours in each 24 and bubbled through the remainder. You couldn't be introspective or serious around her. But Carolee felt con fidential; she had a Secret with a capital S, and it had to be told. CHE led the other girl out among the mesquite and cacti near the Lodge and told Nina all about the gold. They had such a talk and intimacy as only girls can have: it satisfied a longing in Carolee that had been keener than she realized. Nina, she decided, was a peach! In spite of her back ground of wealth. Suddenly Nina turned to her without laughing, and looked straight Into Carolee 's eyes. "You're in love with brother, arent you?" she stated, rather than asked It She had her arm around Carolee. "Urn huhm," Carolee admitted, gently, seriously. "But there are families," Nina went on. "and backgrounds, and oh, clothes, and money, and prejudices, and all that sort of thing in the world. Stuart has talked to me about them. It's not my business. Carolee. but if I ever decide I want to marry a man, heaven help him! I don't care if he's king of England or a Janitor's helper. 111 go after him with all I've got I think that's where happiness lies, and I think happi ness is Just that important!" Carolee nodded. "I believe you would, Nina," she said, softly, "and I believe you're right." Indian squaws came up then to offer them baskets and beaded trinkets for sale. At that moment too, Stuart Blake rode into the Lodge grounds. He saw the girls and galloped over. Ignoring the Indians, he kissed his sister and greeted Carolee, and told them the sheriff had found nothing of importance in the mountain. He wanted Carolee to feel he was sympathetic about her brother, anxious to help her in any way. "Bracelet red like coat" squaw interrupted, holding out a wristlet of beads. Stuart muttered something im patiently, then laughed and bought Carolee the trinket, and another for Nina, too. The wrinkled squaw said, re plying to Carolee's question, that two days were required to make the intricate beading. "It is beautiful." declared Stu art admiring Carolee as she put it on, "and it does match your Jacket Say, I never saw this red jacket before!" Carolee smiled at him kindly. Irrelevantly, perhaps, Nina began humming. (Te Bo Continued) Worth Running For Glenn Cunningham carts a criti cal eye on the toes of his six-weeks-old daughter. Sira. at Peabody.
