/ seemed to him that ne nad almost lost
1 her Not once had he thought of her
in those frenzied hours, and for that
much, at least, had she truly been lost
to him. He dropped the piece Of
| quartz, slid down the slide, and start
ed up the trail, running heavily. At
the edge of the clearing he eased
down and almost crept to point of
vantage whence he could peer out
himself unseen. She was feeding the
chickens, tossing to them handfuls of
grain and laughing at their antics.
The sight of her seemed to relieve
the panic fear into which he had been
flung, and he turned and ran back
down the trail. Again he climbed the
slide, but this time he climbed higher,
carrying the pick and shovel with
him. And again he toiled frenziedly,
but this time with different purpose.
He worked artfully, loosing slide after
slide of the red soil and sending II
streaming down and covering up all
he had uncovered hiding from the
light of day the treasure he had dis
covered. He even went into the woods
and scooped armfuls of last years
fallen leaves, which he scattered over
the slide. But this he gave up as
vain task, and he sent more slides of
soil down upon the scene of his labor,
until no sign remained of the OUTPUT
ting walls of the vein. Next he re-
paired the broken pipe, gathered his
tools together, and started up the
trail. He walked slowly, feeling a
great WEAKNESS, as C man who had
passed through a frightful crisis. He
put the tools away, took great drink
of the water that again flowed through
the pipes, and sat down on the bench
by the open kitchen door. Dede was
inside, preparing supper, and the
sound Of her footsteps gave him a
vast content.
He breathed the balmy mountain air
in great gulps, like a diver fresh-risen
from the sea. And, as he drank in
the air, he gazed with all his eyes at
the clouds and sky and valley, as if
he were drinking in that, too, along
with the air.
Dede ala not know ne naQ come
back, and at times he turned his head
and stole chances in at her-at her
efficient hands, at the bronze of her
brown hair that smouldered with fire
when she crossed the path of sunshine
that streamed through the window, at
the promise of her figure that shot
through him a pang most strangely
sweet and sweetly dear, He heard
eu, stlII gazing away anG tnILiins g.
her touch. More serious than ! reck-
or%d. But I've got the plan. Do you
know what I'm going to do?-Pm go
ing to plant eucalyptus all over it.
They'll hold it. I'll plant them thick
as grass, so that even a hungry rab-
bit can't squeeze between them; and
when they get their roots agoing,
nothing in creation will ever move
that dirt again Eg
why, is ii as bad as that?'
He shook his head.

the mill, and there he erected it: and
he erected, also. the endless chain OF
buckets, suspended from a cable and
operated by gravity, that would cross
the canyon to the quartZ-crusher.
Likewise, the whole mine grew before
him and beneath him-tunnels, shafts,
and galleries, and hosting plants. The
blasts of the miners were in his ears,
and from across the canyon he could
hear the roar of the stamps. The
hand that held the lump of quartz
was trembling, and there was tired,
nervous palpitation apparently in the
pit of his stomach. 1t came to him
abruptly that what he wanted was
a drink-whisky, cocktails, anything, a
drink. And even then, with this new
hot yearning for the alcohol upon
him, he heard, faint and far, drifting
down the green abyss of the canyon,
Dede's voice, crying:-
Here, chick, chick, chick, chick,
chick! Here, chick, chick, chick"
He was astounded at the lapse of
time. She had left her sewing on the
porch and was feeding the chickens
preparatory to getting supper. The
afternoon was gone. He could not
conceive that he had been away that
long.
Again came the call: "Here, chick,
chick, chick, chick, chick! Here, chick,
chick, chick"
1t was the way she always called
first five, and then three. He had long
since noticed it. And from these
thoughts of her arose other tho" ghts
that caused great fear slowly
to grow in his face. For it

Col. r. N. Carper left on the C. & N. w.

ne was going to dispose of some hot air,
so we put it down that he was off for
AIgona to visit with friend. From
the way the Colonel was logged out il
looked mighty suspicious.
