Saugus' pumps having stopped, he knew
he could not do that.
+ Therefore he fell in a rage, and drove
rapidly to Featherbend and sputtered
Ut Cary. You schemed to rob me
you and Saugus. But I'll break the con-
tract. You'll not get a cent"
Z Cary said grimly: II think Saugus
got tired Of your robbing him."

Rear fills UP with water fast when the

then he turned his back on Mumeling
as rudely as Mumeling had turned his
on Saugus.
Bargold learned Of Mumeling's pre-
dicament and shook with laughter; and
knowing that all juries would be against
/ him and that it would cost him $40, 900
to break his contract with Cary. Mumel-
ing compromised with Saugus.
aS Saugus required a settlement of the
pumping matter on fair basis. Then
-Saugus married Diane, who so clever
" constructed the trap that caught
B Mumeling and, his lease with the other
mill man having run out, transferred
his milling to Joe, which recompensed
Joe for the loss of Mumeling's patron
age. which was a part of the business
that had fallen to him when he bought
his mill.

wing and was tripping down to her
brothers mill. In tn eanteroom to the
office she passed Mumeling coming out.
what did that horrid old man want
here?" she asked Cary.
=. "Oh. he's still bothering me about that
ore contract he wants to make with me
at reduced prices" replied Cary.
Then Diane asked Cary a number Of
absurd questions about the expenses Of
milling, at the conclusion Of which she
made some remarks that caused her
brother to say: -..-
well. by the Lord! women have ideas
after Enthusiastically. That's good. Dr.
ane. Well see Saugus." :
Saugus was grum that night, saying
he had ordered his mine to be closed
the coming Saturday. But after Diane
and Cary had talked to him he grew
cheerful and went away from Feather
bend with a springy step and his head
up.
The next morning he ordered supplies
for the Larkspur for another quarter,
and notified his foreman that the mine
would go on operating, whereat the men
in the mine were hugely surprised.
A kole of days afterward when a
consignment of lumber was being un-
loaded at the Larkspur, Mumeling pass

large farther down, and if it should,
that would fetch my head above water
both kinds. Mumeling's half now is
five hundred a month and it's running
me-" Saugus went on with a scowling
face.
Hes greedy old man, isn't he,
Alexander" Diane said severely.
Saugus growled in his neck. His
feelings were altogether too violent for
expression.
Then DANES brother Joe came in,
and when he heard how the situation
was pressing Saugus he said: Mean
man. old Mumeling. You know, mill
his ore. WE'LL he's trying to break my
price now. Wants me to mill for five
dollars-pays six now. Saw me yester-
day and wanted me to take contract
for thousand-ton crushing at five
dollars. Told him no. He can take his
ore away. But it's hard on you, AL.
Too bad you can't reach him.
well. I hate to close the mine, and
I'm not inclined to sink on my pocket.
But I'll have to do one or the other
after the first. Still, I've got a couple
of weeks yet; something may turn up"
Saugus replied. And then he went back
to Bargold.
But nothing turned up. and week
later he told Diane he would have to
close the mine in few days. and that
that would delay their marriage.
So Diane was made anxious, and she
walked in the garden and thought.
Three days later, while she was stoop-
ing over a Marshal Mel rOsebush that
was specially loaded with beautiful
roses. her eyes suddenly lighted, a
queer smile came into her face and her
hands clenched: and. she said tensely.
'Ah! wonder II we could do that" and
looked out into the blue sky in a fixed
stare for a few seconds. Then she
laughed as if there was good joke in
the idea.
In few minutes she had donned a
jaunty hat decorated with q grey birds

ed and his little dogs eyes twinkled in
scrutably as they crossed with Sauguss
scowling ones. Saugus had made a last
appeal to him for aid with the pump
ing. and had declared that the Lark
spur would be forced to close down.
The preparations for continued opera
tions gave the lie to Saugus' declara-
ton.
That day Mumeling offered Cary $3.50
a ton to crush a thousand tons of ore.
Cary said: "No. No. Six dollars or
nothing. And I don't want to discuss
the matter any more, Mr.. Mumeling."
Mumeling argued, and then Joe sail:
I'll tell you what Mr.. Mumeling. I'll
take contract at $3.50 for 5000 or II, 900
tons.'
Haven't got the ORE" Mumeling said.
Very good. That settles it," Cary
rejoined. and Mulneling went away.
But Mumeling came back again next
day and offered to pay $500 for 5000
tons.
"Five-fifty." Cary said.
Five dollars" said Mumeling.
Cary deliberated. Then he said:
"There isn't a cent in it, but I'll take
it,
WhereupOn Mumeling, knowing as a
mill man himself that Cary could hardly
clear expenses. fastened to have the
papers drawn and signed.
When they were placed in Cary's hand
he went home and told Diane. and while
she scanned them eagerly he laughed
softly to himself. That night a tele-
gram went up to Saugus. and the next
morning the Larkspur closed down tight
as a drum.
So that when Mumeling drove by the
deserted works he was SO shocked at
the sight that he stopped his horse dead
still in the road. The reason for this
was that while he had a thousand tons
Of ore in his bins. he needed to get
four thousand more out of the mine to
fulfill his contract with Cary: and

How, dear?"
why, the pumping gets heavier as I
go down, you know, and It's got to be
about nip and tuck to pay expenses
now. The 600 level is nearly exhausted
of ore, and I'll have to run at loss If
I sink to the 700; and I'll have to do
that pretty soon in order to go on with
