TWELFTH lNSTALLMENT
BURIED ALIVE

Seagrue's sale to Rhinelander of the
Superstition mine did not go through
a. smoothly as he had expected. Meet
ing RLinelander at the Office Of an at
torney In Las Vegas, the details of
the transfer we're arranged without
much difficulty. Rhinelander's only
care was to be sure that the convey
ance should give him q clear title to
the valuable property. and having sat-
isfied himself on this point. the minor
details were easily arranged.
While the attorney was embodying
these items IN supplementary agree
ment. RStnelander wrote out a tele-
gram to Helen telling her that he was
completing the transfer of the mine
and would come up on No. s. When
the final draft Of the contract had been
made in duplicate. and signed by the
two parties, In due form, Rhinelander
handed over Q second check to Sea-
grue. and putting the agreement in his
pocket. left the office.
Seagrue watched him 60 with some
thing of relief and q 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-
tion developed in an unlooked-for quar-
ter. namely. among minority stock
holders of the mine itself. Rumors

Seagrue was openly accused Of under
handed work in parting with the prop
erty. To afford q clear understanding
Of his position, meeting Of the stock

dressed the gathering in explanation
Of the sale.
