foreman. When the teamster reached
the mine, the new purchasers were
taking possession. He handed the
message to the foreman. The forc-
man read:

He turned to Rhinclandcr. showing

Rhinelander was willing to ship the
ore ready for the wagons at once.
"All right" he said, nodding to tho
foreman. "Send what you have to tho
smelter right away"
Storm was given authority to put
this part of the job through as quick
ly as possible. While the details were
being talked over between Rhineland-
er and his assistant, neither of them
noticed that they were overheard by
Seagrue's tools. Bill and Lug, who now
decided that there might be chance
to break into the mining business at
their own proper risk and for their
own private account. When Seagruc
called them from the discussion of
their ambitious project. he gave or
ders to Bill to drive back to Las Vegas.
Reaching the station he took the train
for the city.

Wagons-convoye by two guards
carrying sawed-off shotguns-had been
loaded at the mine with the valuable
quartz ore. They had reached Valley
and whi!o the Transfers were loading
the sacks into the box car the two
guards found a shady spot under the
car door.
The wagon had been under surveil-
lance for some time by the Scagrue
crooks, Bill and Lug, who were secret
ed mile away in the bed Of wash.
The two waited patiently until the
wagon had been unloaded and started
back to the mine. Then scouting their
way cautiously down the siding, the
thieves, creeping under the farther
side Of the box car. surprised tho
guards, disarmcd and bound them.
Having done this without loss of time.

The predicament in which the

awkward one. They knew full well

er, that he means what he says?"
1T might be-" ventured Helen, re-
,flectively. Certainly we know he is
about defeated in his construction
race. And If he's beaten on the rail
road proposition, why shouldn't he
want to get rid of his mining prop
erty?"
"The Superstition NINE" observed
Rhinelandcr, has always been good
producer"
At the mine matters were being
pushed rapidly forward for the selling
campaign. Driving back with Bill and
Lug, Seagrue had summoned the fore
man, hidden him dismiss the men and
dispatched his own two worthless to
the surface for bags CT ore. In the
meantime he and his foreman began
to get the rock ready. Bill and Lug
returned presently from the bag pile,
each of them bearing sack Of ore.
Lug was sent for more, while the 9TH
ers deposited the rich quartz in readi-
ness for Rhinelander's examination.
At the assay office in Las Vegas,
Rhinelander, accompanied by Storm
and Helen, was looking for the expert

with him, telling him what was want

lection, protesting other work OH hand,
but was finally induced to yield and
Storm was sent to procure a motor car
in which the party embarked on it's
return. The orders were to drive
straight to the Superstition mine.
Scagrue was almost ready for visi-
tors. After an hours hard work with
his men, who had been distributing
the sacks and rolling the riclY ore in
among the worthless rock, he directed
them to get ready for blasting. The
foreman took single charge and put
Bill and Lug to work on it.
Seagrue left the tunnel the foreman
remaining under his orders to hurry
the shot The moment Bill was ready.
Lug got the dynamite, set the fuse and
completed the preparations. Outside,
Seagrue, to his delight, saw Rhine
lander and his party driving up. Greet
ings were exchanged, somewhat stifIly,
after the recent encounter of the par
tics. but without disscnsion in the.
presence Of the expert, and all started
together for the tunnel.
With Rhinelander asking questions
every few steps, the expert explained
as they walked down the tunnel, the
character of the formation and recited
something OF the history Of the mine,.
with which he admitted he was famil.,
lar. 1t all sounded encouraging. By tho
time the group had reached the end OF

she cut on the head end and it pulled
rapidly from the train. With hope OF
escape in that direction defeated Bill
and Lug turned on their pursuers.
Tho encounter was short and terribly
sharp. Lug was captured but Bill
with supeElluman strength managed
to get away from his assailants and
springing forward jumped with cry
of defiance from the top Of the car IN
to barrow pit below.
Helen on the head end Of the rear
section saw his escape. AS fast as
she could climb down she dropped of
a side ladder and started after Bill;

fight behind, now slowed down. Helen.
followed by the train crew, led the
chase for Bill. He turned on her with
an ugly oath, hut for ell his threats
she sprang into him like wild cat
and he found it impossible to get sue
cessfully away from her. She was on
his heels every minute, delaying his
flight, while with oaths and blows he
endeavored to be rid Of her. By the
time he had finally overpowered her
the train crew was on his back. And
at their heels came Storm with his
Winchester.
Exhausted by the struggle against
too many odds, Bill sullenly gave in.
Tho conductor stopped the brakeman
from mauling him further and with
their prisoner in front and Storm as
guard, the party started back for the
train. Helen waited to see the dis.
comtited thieves placed safely in Gus
tody within the caboose and boarding
it herself with Storms assistance,
laughingly, as was her wont, received
the congratulations Of her companions
on her success. The engineer already
had his orders as to what to do and
