Flandreau-The home of Mrs.

scene of an interesting reunion, when
four generations of her family were
present. The guests were her daugh-

MASTER KEY"

Jean Darner1 s%uTlenly agreed, but
privately conided TO Drake that she
thought Wilkerson had lost his nerve.
The climate did not suit her. nor the
food, nor the primitive modes Of travel.
and her temper grew worse and worse.
Drake promised to do some inyestigat-
ing on his own hook. lie was once
more completely under the woman's
domination, and he dreamed of finding
the precious papers himself and so put
ing Wilkerson out OF the running.
Strangely enough, the man, weakly
vicious as he was, was possessed by
an honest and whole souled love for
Jean.
She knew this, and at times her
tawny eyes rested on him with unmis-
taxable affection. but she knew per-
fectly well that she would choose
Wilkerson provided he made good by
gaining the master key and uncover
ing the wealth OF the great mother
lode.
1t was Drake who brought the news

but q white mar who lives with the
natives limited that they had taken 1t
up the river into the hills"
With this slight clew both Drake
and WiIkerson toiled unweariedly un-
til they had established the fact that
the idol had indeed been sent into IN
other part OF the country for safe keep
ing.
Then they prepared to follow, hav-
ing found out that Dorr and Faver
sham had vanished and were suppos
ed also to have gone hillward.
Mrs. Darnell most unwillingly con
scented to stay behind. but yielded
when Drake set before her the diff
culties and perils OF the road they
must take.
Both men promised to be gone only
SO long as would be needful to recover
the idol, and to both separately she
made 1t plain that she had gone as far
as she would In helping them.
The two men found a couple Of half
bloods to their liking and by judicious
expenditure OF money managed to get
together a small band to accompany
them into the hills.
1t was impressed upon them that the
trip was dangerous and that the hill
men frequently dropped what small
pretense they offered of peaceableness
and warred on friend and foe alike.
1t was through these also that they
learned more specifically the route
taken by the priests in charge OF the
idol.
Equipped at last. they started forth
and for TIVE days kept pretty closely
to the river. which wound about
through the hills, mounting slowly to
its source in the mountains.
Several times they heard of Fayer-
sham and Dorr, but Wilkerson refus-
ed to turn aside or delay once on the
trail OF the idol. And at last they
came within view Of the little caval-
cade which was escorting the god to
a place Of safety.
Vile as were the men he had hired.
Wilkerson dared not trust them too
far. He knew that they were super
stitious. and he feared that when Il
came to a battle between avarice and
Unborn terror OF the supernatural be
would be left In the lurch.
So he warned Drake not to appear
too anxious and by no means to let
their followers know that they intend
ed to seize the image and take 1t away
with them.
but II the papers are In that IDOL
Drake protested, I'VE ought to be able
10 get them and replace the old image
with nobody a jot the worse"
That may be possible" was the re,
Spouse. ION the other hand, the plans
may be concealed SO that 1t will take
time To find them"
They discussed a dozen plans and
finally decided that the next night the
two OF them. accompanied only by
their guide. should make the trial.
But supposing they have the image
where shall we find it?' questioned
Drake. They have u lot OF stun II
