Red following the direction of
Peters eyes, said, 1t was sorter like
that cliff where | see the cobalt bloom.
I'll scratch around that stone nose in
the mOrnin'.'
TT seemed to Red that Peter was
long time over his quest for wood.
When he had pounded the plastic
mass of flour and water into some
thing that looked like a round dough
medal, he put it into the frypan and
stood the pan on edge against a stone.
Then he gathered some twigs and
birchbark and started a fire. As the
resinous bark Sizzled and the flames
shot up, Red cooked his ear toward
the gloomy forest The metallic click
of steel on rock carried from its
depths. Guess Pete's prospectin'
OF baldhead up yonder," " he muttered.
It'd be a good joke on him if he
dropped onto that silver vein"
Presently there was a crashing of
small growth as though bull moose
was charging down the hillside, and
Peter, dragging three long poles of
birch under his arm, emerged from
the woods. He threw the poles clat-
teringly to the ground and, STOPPING
to the birch freight, drew a magnify
ing glass from his pocket and critic
ally examined something he held in
his hand.
What you got there, Pete?" Red
queried.
For answer Wright passed the glass
and object of examination over to
Meekins. The latter, after long,
intent look at the fragment of rock,
sprang to his feet eXcitedly, crying,
by the jumped up Jimmy Robson,
that's it! You've got it, Pete!"
Looks powerful like it. | amt

I've heard there amt no pink rock
in these parts except cobalt bloom,
and that a kind of weather-rotted

Meekins was caressing the substance
gently with his fingertips. Suddenly
he exclaimed, Say, there's wire silver
in that" He cut at it eagerly with
his knife, revealing glistening specks
of pure metal looking like pinheads.
1T is silver!" he yelled exultantly.
"A knife won't cut no mineral that's

When the tailor got to the chateau

him in the garden at work on a novel.
He was so busy that the tailor waited

covered with fine writing, lay around
him. He would write a spell, then
stare wildly about, and then go at II

The worthy tailor had no idea al

reason he had not courage enough to
