The prospect at Bernice for luc-

left for San Francisco, where If
terms can be arranged, the deal
will be closed.
The Guggenheims are heavily
interested in Nevada mines. They
practically control the great copper
deposits at Ely and they have re-
Gently acquired valuable copper

Besides carrying large quantities
of antimony the mines of the Ibex

A new strike was recently made

only copper property in the dis

$15 to $1,000 to the ton was struck.
Mr.. Bertschy states that there
are numerous places in the dis

covered, and that there is a great
rush on to locate claims.

But Winton was not to be brought

The beaten one was up now and ap-
parently looking for an officer.

rasped. II was on'y askin' him to
cash up what he lose to me las night
and he jumps me. But I'll stick him
If there's any law in this camp"
Now all this time Winton had been
holding the unopened telegram crum-
pied in his fist, but when Biggin
pushed MIN out Of the circle and thrust
him up to the clerks desk, he be-
thought him to read the message. II
was Virginia's warning, signed by
Adams, and a single glance at the clos
ing sentence was enough to cool him
suddenly.
PAY the bill, Biggin, and join me
in the billiard room, quick!" he whis-
pered, pressing money into the town
marshals hand and losing himself in
the crowd. And when Biggin had
obeyed his Instructions: NOW for a
back way out of this IL there is one.
Well have to take TO the hills till
train time"
Didn't take you more'n week to
change your mind about pullin it off
with that tin-horn scrapper in the
courts, did it?"
NO" said Winton.
'Taint none o. my business, but
I'd like to know what stampeded you"
"A elegram"-shortly. 1T was a
put-up job to have me locked up on a
criminal charge, and so hold me out

Biggin grinned. 1.-THE old b'iler-

We can take out through the woods
and across the hills, and mog up the
track piece. How'll that do?"
1T will do for me. but there is no
need of you tramping when you can
just as well ride"
But now that side or Mr.. Peter Big
gin which endears him and his kind
to every man who has ever shared his
him in his comfortles3 shack, came
uppermost.
What do you take me fer?" was the
way 1t vocall-ed itself; but there was
more than a formal oath of loyal al
legiance in the curt question.
For a man and a brother" said
Winton, heartily; and they set out
together to waylay the outgoing train
at some point beyond the danger limit.
1t was accomplished without further
mishap and the short winter day was
darkening to twilight when the train
came in sight and the engineer slowed
to their signal. They climbed aboard,
and when they had found a seat In
the smoker the engineer Of construc-
ton spoke to the ex-cowboy as to a
| friend.
IL hope Adams has knocked out a

that at the precise moment OF the say

with the foreman OF track layers at a
gap in the new line just beyond and

men loaded on the fats for the run

of the lateral loop.

What followed was cataclysmal in
it's way. The lounger took three stag
gering lurches towards Winton,
brushed the messenger boy aside, and
burst out in a storm Of maudlin ia
vective.
"Sign yerself 'Winton' now, do ye,

lone minute" said Winton, CURLY,
taking the telegram from the boy and
signing for it.
"Pll give we more'n we can carry
away in less'n half that time-see ?"
was the minatory retort; and the
threat was made good by an awkward
buffet which would have knocked the
engineer out of his chair If he had
remained in it,
Now Winton's eyes were gray and
steadfast, but his hair was of that
shade of brown which takes the tint
OF dull copper in certain lights, and
he had temper which went with the
red in his hair rather than with the
gray in his eyes. Wherefore his at
tempt to placate his assailant was

you drunken scoundrel!" he
snapped, "if you don't go about your
business and let me alone, I'll turn
you over to the police with a broken
bone or two!
The bully's answer was a blow de-
livered straight from the shoulder
too straight to harmonic with the fic-
ton of drunkenness Winton saw the
sober purpose in it and went battle
mad, as n hasty man will. Being a
skillful boxer-which his antagonist
was not-he did what he had to do
neatly and with commendable dis
patch. Down, up; down, up; down a
third time, and then the bystanders
interfered.
Hold on"
"That'll dol"
Don't you see he's drunk"
"Enough's as good rs a feast-let
him CO."
Winton's blood was up, but he de-
sisted, breathing threatenings. Where
at Biggin shouldered his way into the
circle.
PAY your bill and let's hike out o.

1T also has county court which
is probably waiting for u.s." said Win
ton; whereupon they went in to APP
pease the offended majesty of the law.
AS Winton had predicted. his an
swer to the court summons was a
mere formality. On parting with his
chief at the Argentine station plat
form, Adams first care had been to
wire news of the arrest TO the Utah
headquarters. Hence Winton found
the company's attorney waiting for
him in Judge Whitcombs courtroom,
and his release on an appearance bond
was only a matter Of moments.
The legal affair dismissed, there en-
sued weary interval of time-killing.
There was no train back to Argentine
until nearly five o'clock in the after
noon, and the hours dragged heavily
for the two, who had nothing to do
but wait. Biggin endured his part Of
it manfully till the midday dinner had
been discussed; then he drifted off
with one Of Winton's cigars between
his teeth, saying that he should take
poison" and shoot up the town if he
could not find some more peaceful
means of keeping his blood in circula-
ton.
1t was a little after three O'Clock,
and Winton was sitting at the writ
ing table in the lobby Of the hotel
his hasty notebook data
Of the mornings inspection, when
boy came in with telegram. The
young engineer was not so deeply en-
crossed in his work as to be deaf TO
the colloquy.
"Mr. John Winton? Yes, he is here
somewhere" said me clerk in answer
to the boys question: and after an
glance, There he is-over
at the writing table"
Winton turned in his chair and saw
the boy coming towards him; also he
saw the ruffian pointed out by Biggin
from the courthouse steps and labeled
"Sheeny Mike" lounging up to the
clerks desk for whispered word with
the bediamonded gentleman behind it.
