 Raymond took Il chair near the bed Not exactly. but of courSe''-
 Il understand. and don't blame you. She came back from np there looking like a rose of sharon. Of i course you haven't had breakfast Have some coffee Touch that bell for me and we'll have something hearters
 "How is Mrs. Barnett:''
 Never better Eve got her locked in /! there.' He pointed al tn inner door. q had an idea you were coming With i'm i portant news from the front I don't Know about your being here: the peo= pie have got you mixed up with Mum TO ill this thing. and I've had the deYils s own job to convince them other. wise. I'm not a bit sure they won't i want to arrest you aud hold YOU as q hostage"
 That would be nice job,
 "Wouldn't it? But they've lost their heads completely. You see. these red neckers' hit Us on q weak spot-thev broke loose just as We Were trying to float our biggest issue of stock and fiattehed cut every deal Jill it looks like a square yard of nothing. Natural ly we're ;lll red headed as WoodpecK- CTS, aEd were going to open these mines. We've got to open them CT 20 broke. By the way, when did YOU come to toHu:"
 This milute"
 Ride, In this stor1ns' He rose on his elbow ID survey him. Great Scott, man. throw off those horrible boots and put on some dry socks and some slip peis, Tumble the things out of that bottom drawer; you'n lind all kinds there
 In the end he had his way. and so in warm. dry footwear and q smoking jacket tue young miner ate his steak and drank his coffee while his host looked on and commented on his looks.
 ''Iouve taken d hand to the blow, haven't you? That fist is wonder And you've really struck it? Well, I'm glad of it. But you want to watch Curran. I'm told he's been to every lawyer in town with your papers in the attempt to break your grip on that ven."
 We are not worrying.' replied Ray mond
 When he had quite finished. Barnett said, Well. now Rob, what about it?'
 Raymond was equally direct I'm here to try to persuade you not to send the sheriff and his men up the canyon"
 Whom do you represent the union?"
 "In q way. yes. I have letter to you, and come on behalf of the inde- pendents, who don't want to see blood shed. There'll be a horrible mixup, Don, sure thing, unless your fellows are headed off. Munro's cowboys and des- peradoes will fight; don't make any mistake about that"
 "Who is this man Munro?"
 Raymond looked at his friend stead fly. Don the time has come to tell you something. but it's q secret"' His voice ended in a rising infection. Tt concerns only you and me-for the present"
 Barnett reached out his hand. "All right. old man."
 "Munro is really Jackson Hollenbeck. We were classmates and roommates at West Point. Do you remember read ing some eight or nine years ago of a group of six cadets being dismissed for hazing and insubordination? don't suppose you do. but 1 was one of that gang Jack was another We weren't so bad as we were represented, but they fired us all the same. lost all track of Holie, as we called him then"
 "So that's where Munro gets his mili- tary training. and his real name is Hollenbeck" He smiled slyly. Whats yours!'
 "Oh mine is straight. never tried to conceal my identity. I'm Robert Huston Raymond of Ohio, the man that swatted' his superior and got busted for it. Since then I've lived com- monplace life"
 What was it all about? never ask ed any questions before, but I'd like to know all about it"
 That's about all of 1t. l was a rest less young cub and hated discipline, but that's of no value. what IS lmpOr' tant is this Jack Munros military training is being felt Now, you mustn't ask me single question as to conditions up there. I'm going back, and must be able to say to Jack that l was faithful to my trust If the sheriff will go back with me alone l believe can get Jack to deliver the men that blew up the mine. Then If the Red Star people-you, in fact-will deal with the men fairly l think the whole situation will clear"
 'I don't share your optimism. Those jackasses must be whipped before they will yield point. They'd kill you and the sheriff both."
 "I don't think so know Jack will protect us. He practically controls the camp at this minute. have the coun-
