him like a pickpocket. "The crowd

She stood waiting for his hand and
McCloud stood, not knowing just what
to do. She glanced at him expectant-

he stammered at last.
Don't you know?"
He mentally cursed the technical
education that left him helpless at
such a moment, but it was useless TO

some confidence. "Fll never forget"
"Why, if you will just give me your
hand for my foot, can manage, you

He did not know, but she lifted her
skirt graciously, and her crushed boot
rested easily for a moment in his
hand. She rose in the air above him
before he could well comprehend. He
felt the quick spring from his sup
porting hand, and it was an instant OF
eXhilaration. Then she balanced her
self with flushed laugh in the sad
die, and he guided her ahead among
the loose rocks, the horse nosing at
his elbow as they picked their way.
Crossing the track, they gained bet

talked with him. He can't do anything
but figure elevations, and, by heaven,
we can't feed our own engineers here

stranded in the mountains.

George McCloud took it quietly. I'm

up courage to ask George to take a
job in the Cold Springs mines, and
George jumped at it. 1t was impos-
sible to get a white man to live at
Cold Springs after he could save
money enough to get away, so George
was welcomed as assistant superin-
tendent at the Number Eight mine,
with no salary to speak of and all the
work.
One day, coming down special
from Bear Dance, Gordon Smith, who
bore the nickname Whispering Smith,
rode with President Bucks in the
privacy of his Car. The day had been
long, and the alkali lay light on the
desert. The business in hand had
been canvassed, and the troubles put
aside for chicken. coffee and cigars,
when Smith, who did not smoke, told
the story of something he had seen
the day before at Cold Springs that
pleased him.
The men in the Number Eight mine
had determined to get rid of some
Italians, and after good deal of
rowing had started in to catch one of
