INNOCENT OF THAT ANYWAY |
One Form of Interference, and the
Most Harmful, of Which Youth
Was Not Guilty.

All horsemen know that horse
that interferes-that Is, hits the ankle
of one foot with the shoe of the other
foot-suffers greatly. While human
being with the same habit may not
suffer much physically, yet he is likely
to be sensitive about it.
Bion Talmage had this unfortunate
habit. AS Caleb Peaslee remarked
upon one occasion, "Bion sounds more
like a procession than he does like the
man walking" And when you listened
to the sturdy thumps of his shoes, and
the entirely different sounds made
when he hit his ankles, Caleb did not
seem so far wrong, after all.
Among his neighbors these com
ments did not rankle, but when Bion
was crossing Kenduskeag bridge, in
Bangor, and an idler saw fit to re-
mark upon his popularity, Bion's re-
sentiment was swift-and pointed.
Bion had passed the idler-clump'

DUE TO CHANCE DISCOVERY
Scotch Boy Picked Up Piece of Ore
That Led to Development of
Rich Copper Mine.

The chance discovery some years
ago by a boy of piece of copper
bearing ore led to the opening up of
a very promising copper mine on the
estate of Otter, in Argyllshire, Scot
land
Struck by the appearance of the
ore, the boy kept it two years, when
he showed it to Mr. j. S. Taylor, a
mil lg expert, in Glasgow. Mr.. Tay-
lor respected the district, and three
rich lodes were opened. THE Murder
Lode" has proved to be by far the
richest, and the field was selected for
exploration because it was known that
no matter how heavily it was MANFRED
no grass or crop could be got to grow
there
The picturesque name arose through
local tradition that a curse lay on
the field because it had been the scene
of a fight to the death between two
women. The real reason for it's bar
renness was found to be the presence
of poisonous copper salts.

American seemed to be considering it.
He walked back and forth across the

them, dropping down into the futile

with studious thought. His pardner,
however, sat listlessly on boulder

"Ah, no, senor!" clamored Mendez,
holding up his hand in protest; II am

Bud turned upon them with slow,

"Oh, nothing much" he answered,
putting up his gun; and the deep

the old mans heart.

a lot of money on it,
"You bet he wants it," returned
Hooker, with conviction. "I'm going

CAV, you're crazy, Bud!" cried Phil;
but Hooker only smiled.
You know what happened to 'Kru-
GER" he answered. "I'll tell you what,
we got to keep our eye open around
here"
They rode on to the mine, which
was only about five miles from For
tuna, without discussing the matter
further; for, while Phil had generally
been the leader, in this particular case
Kruger had put Bud in charge, and
he seemed determined to have his
way SO far as Aragon was concerned
In the ordering of supplies and the
laying out of development work he
deferred to Phil in everything, but for
tactics he preferred his own judgment.

who follow their instincts are hard to
change. So they put in the day in
making careful measurements, ac-
cording to the memoranda that Kru-
ger had given them; having satisfied
themselves as to the approximate
locality of the lost vein, they turned
back again toward town with their
heads full of cunning schemes.
Since it was the pleasure of the
Senior Aragon to make war on all
who entered his preserves, they check
mated any attempt on his part to
locate the lead by. driving stakes to
the north of their ledge; and, still fur
ther to throw him off, they decided to
mark time for a while by doing dead
Work on cut. Sucn an approach
would be needed to reach the mouth
of their tunnel.
At ,the same time 1t would give
steady employment to Mendez and
keep him under their eye, and as soon
as Aragon showed his hand they could
make out their final papers in peace
and send them to the City of Mexico.
And not until those final papers
were recorded and the transfer duly
made would they SO much as stick
a pick into the hillside or show
lump of quartz.
But for Spanish gentleman, sup

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced owing to a revolution in Mex
leo. to give up their mining claim ana
return to the United States. In the
border town of Gadsden Bud meets
Henry Kruger. wealthy miner. who
makes him a proposition to return to
Mexico to acquire title to very rich
mine which Kruger had blown up when
he found he had been cheated out Of
the title by one Aragon. The Mexican
cessfu1 attempt to relocate the vein
and then had allowed the land TO re-
vert for taxes. Hooker and De Iancey
start for the mine. They arrive a For
tuna near where the mine known as
the Eagle Tail Is located. and get in
