jim started off with a long stride and Bart
was about to follow his example, when Kirk
called out:
: Wait a minute! We're going with you,
of COURSE
Il didn't say anything about it. for l

the tent.
D They may as well finish up the work OF
geeting the property ready for the capitalist
TO operate" said Mr.. Sheldon, with smile
r tne eagerness which the boys displayed IN
everything pertaining to the mine. Il can't
say that blame them for being anxious Just
now for, according to the statements OF both
.you and Mr.. Hunt, the value of the find de-
npends largely upon the discovery of water
}nearby."
Indeed it does; and I shall be very much
disappointed if we don't run across good
supply somewhere up the mountain, in a line
with that spring." said Bart.

MIR. Sheldon and Manuel remained alone in
The camp until within about an hour Of sun

lie reported that he had travelled over the
lace OF the mountain to the left of straight
Inc from the ledge, and that he had seen no
signs of water. He feared that Bart and the
boys would be equally unfortunate, although
{he admitted that it was only reasonable to
Xsuppose there was a supply somewhere above
Pthe curious spring
Mr.. Sheldon grew impatient for the return
rof the boys as the sun sank lower and lower
/ IN the west; but Jim was disposed to treat
khis anxiety as needless, until the sun set and
mo signs of the party had been seen. He
Ywent up the gulch as far as he could, and YET
have time to return before dark; and when
he came back to camp, he said. in reply to
. Mr.. Sheldon's questions:
Il mo, didn't see anything of them, and
they're in for an all-night job now; for Bart
| won't be foolish enough to try to come down
1 in the dark. But, bless you! there's no cause
Ito worry" he added, as he saw the troubled
Hook on the gentleman's face. There's moth
ling to hurt them, and they'll be back here
safe and sound by noon tomorrow. L sup
1pose they were SO anxious to find water that
they got too far away to return before night"
But despite these assurances that the boys
were safe, Mr.. Sheldon could not persuade
himself but that some accident had befallen

KIRK SHELDON'S MINE

Kirk had been next to him, and so neal
that, although he tried not to take another
step, Dory, pushing from behind, forced him
on, the solid earth seeming to give way be
meath their feet.
Both realized in that short second of time,
during which they vainly tried to clutch. at
the bushes around them, that they were fall

whirling through the air partially deprived
them Of consciousness.

CHAPTER xxx.
AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY.

- HEN Bart and the boys left the
&VY camp, they started up the gulch,
going slightly to the right, as jim
14ETNz5 had to the left; and, when they had
Egs2lJ reached an elevation of about a hun
dred and fifty feet above the level
of the first showing of the vein, Bart said
y According to my way OF thinking, we
kshall find water somewhere ON line with
3the spring, and the best way for us will be
kto separate, each keeping straight on, but forty
3or ffty feet apart. By that means we can
search broad strip of the mountain with but
flittle labor"

had seen no indications of water, and Bart
