Synopsis Of Preceding Chapters

Tom Gallon, owner of the Master
Key mine, dies. leaving his property
to his daughter, Ruth, in care of
John Dorr. the mine engineer, whom
Ruth loves. Wilkerson, superinten-
dent of the mine, plots with Jean
Darnell, an adventures with whom
he is in love, to deprive Ruth of the
mine. Ruth goes to San Francisco
to meet George Everett, wealthy
friend of DORIS. to borrow money
on the mining property to pay for
further development work. Mrs.
Darnell meets her, introduces her to
. man whom she falsely represents
as Everett, and takes charge of her
in San Francisco. Hearing nothing
from Ruth, Dorr becomes alarmed
and goes to San Francisco, whittier
Wilkerson has preceded him. Mean
while Ruth, in a hotel, hears Mrs.
Darnell and Wilkerson plotting
against her. She calls for help, but
is hurried out of the hotel by her
captors, who conceal her in the home
of Chinese acquaintance of Wilker-
sons. Dorr begins the search for
Ruth with the aid of a detective.
Whey trail her to Sing Wah's house,
shch they enter by force. Sing
Wah forces Ruth to flee with him,
but Dorr takes up the pursuit and
rescues Ruth. Henry Pell. an ex-
convict, is called in by Wilkerson as
an accomplice to steal the papers
from Ruth's room at the Manx hotel.
Dorr detects him and pursues him up
the fire escape to the roof. A des-
perate struggle follows and Pell is
thrown off and killed. Unknown to
Dorr he had thrown the papers into
an alley. Tom Kane arrives just in
time to take part in the pursuit of
Henry Pell. John Dorr was taken
to jail for the death of Pell. but
Everett soon secured his release.
The deeds thrown into an alley by
Pel were found by street cleaner
who advertised them and Wilkerson
secured them at last. Wilkerson at
tempted to kidnap Ruth but was
b4Hed by Tom Kane. Wilkerson and
Hsah Darnell then left the city for
Los Angeles. A physician ordered
Ruth to a quiet place to restore her
shattered nerves and Dorr. Everett,
Ruth and Tom Kane all left for Los
Angeles on the train with the others
who weredisguised and in a differ
ent coach, AWilkerson FORCES trans
fers of tn Aeeds and sends Drake to
the mines. Everett lends John SIS. 900
and sends Kane to reopen the mines.
Troubles multiply and all hurry to
the mines. Wilkerson hires Mexi-
can bandit gang to rob Kane. A ter
rife personal combat takes place be-
tween Dorr and Wilkerson, in which
Wilkerson is apparently killed. He
is rescued and revived by the bandits
and the sheriff sends troops to keep
the peace. Dorr opens letter left
by Ga lon telling of the plans of the
lode. leftIin the head of an idol in a
sea chest sunk at sea. The location
of the wreck was scratched on the
Master Key worn around Rutb's
neck. Dorr in his excitement tears
the letter into two parts. losing the
last part which falls into Wilkerson's
hands. He sends Vigas to steal the
Key and starts for the sea to recover
the chest Dorr follows and arrives
|just in time to see Wilkerson's diver
get he chest.

ject in Oregon.
