rtr. 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

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.
