TWELFTH INSTALLMENT
BURIED ALIVE

Seagrue's sale to Rhinelander Of the
Superstition mine did not go through
as smoothly as he had expected. Meet
ing Rhinelander at the office of an at
torney in Las Vegas, the details Of
the transfer were arranged without
much difficulty. Rhinelander's only
care was to be sure that the convey
ance should give him clear title to
the valuable property, and having sat-
lsfied himself on this point, the minor
details were easily arranged.
While the attorney was embodying
these items in a supplementary agree
mert, Rhinelander wrote out a tele-
gram to Helen telling her that he was
completing the transfer Of the mine
and would come up CT No 8. When
the final draft of the contract had been
made in duplicate, and signed by the
two parties, in due form, Rhinelander
handed over a second check to Sea-
grue, and putting the agreement in his
pocket, left the office.
Seagrue watched him go with some
thing of relief and great deal Of
satisfaction. The whole scheme he
had so successfully compassed looked
to him almost too good to be true, and
he had a hearty laugh with the at
torney before they left the office to-
gether.
But, unexpectedly enough, opposi-
ton developed in an unlooked-for quar-
ter, namely, among minority stock
holders of the mine itself. Rumors
flew thick and fast, and at Oceanside
Seagrue was openly accused of under
handed work in parting with the prop
erty. To afford a clear understanding
of his position, meeting of the stock
holders of the mine was called, and
Seagrue, when the time came, adj
dressed the gathering in explanation
of the sale.
II have understood" he began,
there has been some criticism of my
action in disposing of the Superstition
mine to the Copper Range and Tide
water people. Some of our stockholG-
ers have been unl1ind enough to hint

said, speaking to the foreman; I'm
just a plain, everyday railroad man.
But I've heard that things can be done
even when vein pinches out. Now,
you get busy" he said to the listening
foreman, "and tel. me, now and here,
what's the first thing to do to try to
pick this vein up again.
you might pick it up" responded
the foreman, ''for song, if you're
lucky. It all depends. You might
spend a million dollars and never pick
1t up"
well, we don't have to spend the
million all at once, do WEI"
The foreman admitted they did not.
very well,' continued Rhinelander,
sharply "Hows the first part of that
money to be spent?'
The foreman scratched his head and
looked up and down the wall. Ho Sc
lected a place that looked to him like
a possibility. Pointing, he said:
"Cross-cut through there and we might
pick up the vein."

tons; the hard-headed miner seemed
to have, he thought, some good ideas.
"All right" said Rhinelander, at
length, "cross-cut right there, just
as you say. Well see how we come
out. If we get beat, we'll try some
thing else."
Under the impetus Of new hope, the
work went rapidly forward. Every
man in the mine took courage. So
long as there was possibility of do
ing anything they were glad to work
to save their own jobs. The crew at
hand went vigorously to work under
the foreman's directions. In a short
time a hole had been primed for
blast, the fuse lighted and the men
rushed out. The explosion followed
and they went back.
Work was proceeding in this fash
ION when something occurred that
drew Helens attention. She was look
ing into the tunnel when she noticed
that one wall near the roof seemed
to be weakening. A large piece Of
rock had dropped from it. The men
were called out and Helen, with

He related in detail the story of the
sudden word received from the mine
foreman announcing the petering out
of the vein. In more yelled language,
but still making himself plain enough
to be understood, he disclosed the
thought that had come to him OF get

it, and of his subsequent success in
unloading the property on Rhineland-
er without serious loss to any CT the
shareholders.
IN spite of his explanation, protest

Rhinelandcr, Storm and the foreman,
went over to examine the break. All
waited on the old miner for verdict
as to the condition of the roof He
made a pretty careful examination and
seemed satisfied there was no danger.

IF that is So" said Rhinelander,
and you ought to know, if anybody
knows send the men back to work"
Blasting their way into the wall
where the foreman had indicated, the
men, busted with their work, failed to
notice gradual weakening of the
tunnel roof. Helen, outside the mine
and occupied with other matters,
heard the blasting within, but gave
the subject no further thought. It was
not until moment following one of
the heavy explosions that she heard
a great crash behind her, and, look
ing back, was Mortified to see mass
of rock crashing through the roof of

found-they had almost certainly been

Spasmodic efforts were made to
clear the opening. Men, losing their
heads, rushed hither and thither, &C.
complishing nothing and adding to the
panic that possessed everyone at the
thought of the tragedy within the
closed tunnel. Bidding a man to stop

would take her fifteen precious minutes
to run down the trail. Could she, by
any possibility, ride down the aerial
cable?
She grasped the hook of the frail
aerial carriage and clinging to it with
both hands, pulled the release. Like

a bird on wing, Helen shot far out
from the mountainside and dropping
at sharp angle down the line, sped
suspended between heaven and earth.
At distance on the desert, the
Shay engine of the Neighbor mine was
toiling slowly along when the engineer
saw the figure of a woman clinging to
the aerial carriage of the Superstition
mine as it shot through the air down
to the valley. Breathless, he watched
the wild flight, expecting every instant
to see the slender creature let go, to
fall, crushed, to the rock below her.
But Helen did not let go. Hanging
on with desperation born of the re-
aliZatiOn that she must save the i'm.
prisoned men, she shot across the dam
gerous declivity from top to bottom
and without mishap, jumped in safety
to the foot Of the aerial and dashed
away for help. She ran toward the
little railroad, tagged the engine, got
into the cab, and struggling for breath,
appraised the crew of the accident. The
engineer hurriedly started the engine
back to their own mine. Forcing all
the speed that he could get, and with
Helen urging him to spare no effort,
he made the engine bump along over
the joints as 1t never had done before.
A dozen times, before they reached
their destination, it seemed as if the
sturdy little machine must turn tur.
tie.
Jumping from the cab the moment
the Shay stopped, Helen told of the
disaster. Men ran in from all quar-
tiers, and their foreman-an active
fellow-gave directions about getting
the stuff they should need to work
with at the cave-in. With the least
possible loss of time, these neces.
saries were assembled and the train
loaded with men started back.
In the interval, the news telephoned
to Las Vegas had stirred the town.
At the hospital motor car was placed
in waiting, and doctors answering the
hurry-up call jumped into the machine

others not to give up and was the first
to hear call coming through the
cave-in. He answered it with all the
strength he could summon.
Encouraged on the outside by the
word that the imprisoned men were
still alive, the rescuers redoubled
their efforts. The battered foreman,
heading the line in the narrow hole,
picked through the shattered forma-
ton, sent back word he was nearly
through and shout of joy went up
from the anxious hearts of those gath
cred outside. The doctors were al
ready busy laying out their temporary
hospital and making ready to take
care of the exhausted men the mo-
ment they could reach them.
To the prisoners the sound of the
pick and the dislodgment of rock was

by the chief surgeon who, once ins
side, began to treat the most helpless
of the suffering men.
The condition of the uncertain en
trance called for the greatest care on
the part of the rescuers. Great masses
of rock, suspended by not more, ID
would seem, than a thread, HUNG
threateningly over the ragged passage,
But time was too precious to wait for
further safety and the moment the
men could be passed out, they were
turned over to the hospital staff.
Rhinelander had refused to leave
until the last of the miners had been
taken out to safety. Storm followed
him. Helen was the last to come
through.

cheers went UP again.
Seagrue, elbowing his way through
the bystanders up to Rhinelander,
congratulated him on his escape.
Rhinelander smiled grimly. THAT

he exclaimed, addressing his words to
her, y g came near losing out, girl,
but we didn't-quite. I'm all right
and so is George Storm, here" He
laid his hand on his stalwart foreman's
shoulder. "The rest of the men," he
added, will be as good as ever by to-
morrow. But that isn't all, Seagrue.
We've relocated the vein!"
Seagrue started. what do you

Il mean, we have found the vein

Seagrue refused to credit his hear

despite the warnings of those about
him, crawled through the opening and
made his way to where the final blast
had disclosed the glistening vein. He
