The doctor had hitched Ajax up with
the fastest horse he could find In the
hotel stables, and after they had start
ed he had his hands full. The miners
sent up cheer as they dashed into the
square and out into the road leading up
to the Duncan house. And SO. with the
love Of the men whose lives and happi.

mingled with theirs, In the company Of
the friends who had shared 80 largely

irritating obstinacy on the part Of the
miners, who did not want to be dis
turbed.
