Rhinelander, has always been good

At the mine matters were being

Lug, Seagrue had summoned the fore

dispatched his own two worthless to
the surface for bags Of ore. In the
meantime he and his foreman began

each of them bearing q 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.
Rhinelander held a brief conference
with him, telling him what was want
ed and asking whether he could ac-
company him on trip to the Supersti-
ton mine. The expert raised some OBJ
lection, protesting other work on hand,
but was finally induced to yield and
Storm was sent to procure motor car
in which the party embarked on its
return. The orders were tc drive
straight to the Superstition mine.
Seagrue was almost ready for visi-
tors. After an hours hard work with
his men, who had been distributing
the sacks and rolling the rich 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 1t.
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 we're exchanged, somewhat stifly,
after the recent encounter of the par.
ties, but without dissension 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.

time the group had reached the end Of
the main tunnel Bill and Lug had dis

called In couple OF men and when
Seagrue asked Rhinelander II he would
like to have 1t fired. and upon Rhine
lander's assent, the party got into safe
ty and the shot was discharged.
Coming out of their retreat, the diff
ferent members OF the group picked
up specimens of the shattered ore and
examined II.

The expert was at hand with hand

showing it 10 the prospective buyer
with an air OF certainty. will average
two hundred dollars to the ton"
Helen and Storm consulted together,
Seagrue watching. In a moment he
asked them and Rhinelander to follow
him outside. Leaving the shaft, he
took the three to the bag pile.
These sacks" said he to Rhine
lander, contain high-grade ore, ready
for shipment to the smelter. They
are to be included in whatever deal
make with buyer for the mine"
Rhinelander, Storm and Helen con-
tinued to discuss the purchase apart.
They counted the number OF bags.
Rhinelander made an effort to roughly
reckon the value Of them, Seagrue
and the expert talking together the
while some little distance away. A
further conference with Seagrue dis
closed that the price he wanted for
the mine was one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. After the usual bar
gaining, Rhinelander proposed to take
the property, including the ore ready
for the wagons. at one hundred and
ten thousand dollars--twenty-fiv
thousand dollars to be paid down.
Seagrue accepted, Rhinelander made
out his check and the transaction was
complete, Rhinelander only requesting
that the foreman keep the men at
work until he should have a chance
to get started This was assented to
and Storm was placed temporarily in
charge Of the mine.
While the negotiations had been TAX
ing shape, freight train had pulled
in few miles distant at Valley sta
ton, where the crew set out an empty
box car for loading. A teamster from
the mine was summoned by the agent
who handed him note for the mine

eleventh lNSTALLMENT
Sailing of the Superstition Mine.

Outwitted in his effort to obtain pos
/. record and defeated once more in his
N,ns through the failure of Spike to
betray those who had befriended him,
Seagrue's wrath concentrated on Spike
as being chiefly responsible for his dis
comfiture
But standing in the room which had
Just been the scene of his last defeat,
Seagrue felt that he could at least en-
Joy revenge. Helen, Storm and Rhine
lander were still facing him, with
Spike near and the sheriff was just
leaving the room when Seagrue called
to him. AS he did so, he drew from
his pocket a worn pamphlet and hand
ed it ostentatiously to the sheriff.
There's something Of interest to
you'll"
What do you mean?" returned the
official jocularly. He glanced lat the
pamphlet, saw set forth on the cover
a reward of five hundred dollars Of
fered for the apprehension Of Spike
and laughed: I'VE see these things
every day." said he, handing it back
to Seagrue. If were to chase up all

You don't have tc burn any gaso-
line TO get this money" retorted Sea-
grue. Your man is right here"
'Where?" demanded the sheriff
skeptically.
Seagrue pointed to Spike. That
Is the man. he said coldly.
Spike decided the game was up. He
made a bolt for the door. The sheriff
stopped him.
The moment was an unpleasant one.
Helen was furious. "Of all the mean
things you've ever DONE" she said to
Seagrue, this is about the mean
est | should think you would want
to go and hide yourself she ex'
claimed with cutting emphasis, from
the sight of all living men,"
Stung, Seagrue retorted in like:
THAT sounds fine from your lips, Miss
Helen Holmes! It's a new role for
you to become the champion of prison

solently towards Spike. Especially,
he added, since this very mamie

his retort, to beat poor Helen to the
ground. He almost did So

pointed to the last spot at which they
had got high-grade quartz.
The expert stopped and took up a
handful of rock from the ground. An.
swerihg Seagrue, in reply to a hopeful
question, he shook his head. II doubt
very much" said he. after the two had
canvassed the matter from all sides,
IF 1t is possible to recover the VEIN"
AT the entrance to the shaft Sea-
grue dismissed his own two men and
turned to the expert. They talked to-
gether few moments. The mining
man saw what was in Seagrue's mind
and was not surprised a moment later
to hear him say. without further beat
ing about the bush: IF can get bid
der for the mine. I'll pay five thousand
dollars for good report on It,
Each understood the other as they
left the scene together. And summon
ing his men, Bill and Lug, and getting
into his motor car with the expert,
Seagrue drove away toward Las We
gas. The machine was stopped little
distance from Rhinelander's camp and
Seagrue on a scratch pad wrote a
note to Amos Rhinelander. Giving
this to Lug, he directed him to deliver
it. He then told Bill to drive back to
town.
Helen, cut to pieces over the disclo-
sure of Spikes completely in the death
Of her father, returned with Rhine
lander and Storm to the construction
camp. Storm offered such consolation
as he could, but this was very little.
And 1t was almost relief to him when
Rhinelander directed him to see about
getting the men to work.
Rhinelander himself was watching
the progress Of the construction a
little while later when Lug handed him
Seagrue's note.
Dear Rhinelander:
Without cutoff we cannot operate
the Superstition mine profitably.. This
would make good investment for
your company and am giving you the
first chance to bid for II.
Yours, SEAGRUE.
Rhinelander, somewhat puzzled, read
the note over two or three times. He
dismissed Lug with the verbal mes
sage to Seagrue that he would look
into 1t, and, calling Storm and Helen
into conference, Rhinelander read

Breathless, unable to speak, she
looked helplessly from accuser to ac-
cused Storm and Rhinelander stood
spellbound. Staring at Seagrue like
one stunned, Helen could only gasp:
My father?"
Yes, your father" repeated Sea-
grue angrily. How do you like your
hero now?" he concluded tauntingly.
Helen looked toward Spike. Spike,
is this true?"
He could not speak to her. He
could not even look at her. He only
turned to the sheriff and in a voice
such as no man ever had heard from
him before muttered: I'm ready"
The sheriff led him from the room.
Helen, with Rhinelander and Storm,
silently followed, leaving Seagrue, as
he turned again to his window, to his
own reflections. Nor were the loss
of the records and his excoriation by
Helen the only misfortunes that were
to come to him that cay.
He had long had control OF valua-
BILE gold mine in the Superstition
range, and to his hackers he had en-
larged more than once with enthusi-
asm on the probability that their in
vestment in this mine would make
all of them mere money than ever had
been taken out of the Superstition
mountains But the day before, drill
ers working in the main tunnel had
stopped suddenly before the rock wall
they were penetrating. One of them,
after consulting in some excitement
with his fellows, called the foreman.
What's up?" demanded the latter
grufly, when he reached the drill bat
terry.
"Everything's up" responded the
man bluntly. It's all up with the
mine and this outfit, and you and me,
boss, right here"
The foreman showed his worry as
he stood contemplating the fault. He
drew from his pocket book and, hur-
riedly scratching a note on a blank
leaf, handed it to man. and bidding
him hurry with it, turned again to the
drillers to investigate. Seagrue was
returning from the bank when the
mine messenger stopped him in the
street of Las Vegas. This Mr.. Sea
grue?" he demanded.
Seagrue nodded CURLY. What do
you want?"
For answer the man handed him a
soiled letter. Seagrue, tearing open
the envelope, read:
Dear Sir:
Can you come to the mine at once
Vein has pinched out In main work
Ings. S. ROE.
Seagrue, startled at the last sen
tence, volleyed questions at the mes
senger The man could confirm the
intelligence OF what he himself had
seen before leaving the mine, and Sea
grue, telling him to hunt up Bill and
bring him to the assay office in Main
street hurried back to the bank.
Bill reached the assay Office almost
as soon as his employer. Seagrue di
rected him to go get the car, and a:

At the mine the foreman was still
examining the walls. He showed Sea
