and used Latin terms which he
couldn't understand. The next day he
took a trip to his own claim. but In

ridge to see what was doing on Mari

trees standing silent, the shadows
crawling with regularity along the
canon wall. and the big giant down
below r;-ping and tearing away at
the earth. This last was too much.
Jim hurried back across the divide
and then down to the camp. where,
on the following day, he expostulated
with the lawyers.

Then he tore madly out of the
shanty, walked gloomily around the
camp for = while. and decided to talk
to his protegee. She had taken to
tears by this time, and that strength
ened his resolution. He went to bed

adopted him as a master and seemed
pleased with the new partnership.
They came to the cut first and found
Doc with the stream working.
It's possible that there would have
been an arbitration had not Doc been
so peculiar. He pretended not to see
Jim. but spotted the bulldog and
switched the lever. There was one
frightened yowl, and for one quick In
slant the air was filled with water
and dog. The bull landed about 50
feet up the bank, caught his breath,
tucked his tail between his legs,
and made . speed record for the
camp.
But, in the meantime. things were
doing with Jim and Doc.
Jim numbered Golt's of antique

where Bill had appeared on the scene.
Jim felt his left arm 60 numb. and
dropped to cover until he could see
where the shot came from. Then the
two contestants arose and blazed
away at each other. but with bad aim
because between them was sheet Of

was playing silvery sheets aimlessly

was taking in the little war.

and held q confab wherein the two
documents were compared, and found
to have been issued on the same date
and recorded in two different places

Matters were growing complicated.
Jim and Bill had nothing to say. and
the sheriff was puzzled. He looked at
the two papers again. and softly
swore at the agent who had sold the
property twice for the same amounts
