Only long after dil Il come to Ray
mond's mind that Kelly had been Civ
ing Dolan note concerning their
plans and that his whereabouts would
be at once made known to Valley
Springs and to Louis.
"Who is this man Munro?' asked
Raymond as they left the reporter and
started for home.
"He's a devil-may-care chap from
Red Cliff. He pretends to be miner
and is a partner with an Old fellow Oh
the north side O the hill, but he's
vorlzin' for Hanley-lookout for the
roulette wheel. The boys all think
heap of him. They say he always gives
'em square deal"
Does hep
81 think so. never heard to the COZ
trary.'
"Larned was right about the union"
said Raymond. 'The big owners in
the Springs are sending east for their
miners. They know that men like you
and me will not do their deep work for
them. He's right, too, in saying these
cowboys and farm hands from the
states won't make miners. They don't
intend to work underground. Well
find ourselves left short some morning
if we depend on these fellows, who can
hit the trail at ten minutes notice.
"Sure thing" said Kelly. This get
tin under the crust O. the earth and
livin' there is unholy business-not for
free men like ourselves. It's all goin'
to be done by the Reoshians and the
dagoes."
In silence the two men looked abroad
over the valley toward the dim line Of
peaks family lit by the big silver
bright moon.
A sentence from Richter came into
Raymond's mind, '.In the presence Of
beauty, beneath the stars, men think
of love- and his heart ached with a
sense Of loss.
Unconsciously, in spite of his at
tempt to put himself away from her
presence, Ann had come to dominate
his musing hours. At thought Of her
he grew resolute and hopeful and,
reaching forth a powerful hand, grap-
pied the air as if it were the throat of
a hitherto invincible opponent and
said, Il will winr' He acknowledged
that wealth had power to aid him. $50

'one lunger' yet"
The two men walked round the little
grove of frs to the west and came up
on some men busy with a very small
upright engine hosting ore from
shaft.

AS their hands met their hearts
warmed to each other. Kelly removed
his hat and was almost solemn as he
said slowly: "This makes us both.
Now let's go eat"
The Kelly home was as suited to its
surroundings as "a Swiss chalet. It
had the dirt roof, the widely project
ing caves and the southern porch Of
mountain cabin, and its latchstring
and battened door were in keeping;
only the windows, with their machine
made frames, were out Of key. There
were two small bedrooms, a living
room, which served also for dining
room, and a tiny kitchen, and yet it
produced on Raymond's mind the
most charming effect Of unhesitating
hospitality and homeliness. This was
due as much to the charm Of Mrs. Kel-
ly's manner as to the deep voiced, cor
dial invitation of the host himself.
There was no lock on their door and
no bar to their warm hearts.
But Raymond saw what Matt's low
ing eyes could not discern-Nora was
overworked and losing heart. In spite
Of her ready smile and cordial second
