CHAPTER XXI.
The Owner of the Mine.

At that moment Vandervyn loped up
over the edge of the terrace, waving
his hat to Marie. Then he caught sight
of Hardy, over beyond the girl, and
the exultant yell died on his lips. He
put the curb on his pony, and sprang
off beside Dupont and the girl, his face
frightful with rage.
His voice was high-pitched and light,
almost airy "So-he cut across afoot !!
He thought to do mel!
"Has, you meant" snarled Dupont.
"Got his notices posted. That's his
last stake"
Vandervyn whirled and snatched his
rifle from it's saddle sheath. Marie
caught her fathers arm to drag him
aside; but he was already backing
away, his eyes fixe6 apprehensively
on Hardy. 1t was time for bullets to
come streaming from the automatic
pistol. Hardy could have drawn and
opened fire while Vandervyn was FREQ

10 the asronishment of all three,
Hardy made no attempt to get the
drop" on his opponent. Instead, he
started to advance upon Vandervyn
at a quick, deliberate pace, his hands
hanging empty at his sides, his face
calm and stern.
"Put down that gun!" he command
ed.
vandervyn was leveling the rifle. He
took aim straight between Hardy's
eyes. His finger kissed the trigger.
The slightest twitch would have sent
the bullet crashing through Hardy's
brain, and the slightest sign Of fear
or hesitancy on Hardy's part would
have caused that twitch. He was
looking death in the face. Vandervyn
was in murderous fury.
Yet Hardy came on-quick, steady,
absolutely calm. His gaze passed
above the deadly muzzle, along the
foreshortened barrel, to the narrow
lidded, bloodshot eyes of Vandervyn.
His voice rang out again, clear and
sharp with authority:
"Put down that rifle-put it down,
sir!
The muscles of Vandervyn's neck
twitched. Along the top Of the BARRE
he was glazing back at Hardy-glar-
ing into those hazel eyes that met
his fury with the clear, cool gaze OF

CHAPTER XXI.
The Race.

nc 1d(Ss
The commissioners came down
from the agency barely in time to
make their Identification of the
contestants. Last of all Hardy
and Vandervyn identified them
selves and hurried over to the end Of
the waiting line. There was a scant
five minutes remaining. Vandervyn
was a-cuiver with eager excitement,
and made no attempt to conceal the
fact. He smiled and waved his hand
to the commissioners, and looked about
with sparkling eyes. There was no
anxiety or envy or malice in his look.
Never had he appeared handsomer or
more boyish.
The other commissioners had
climbed into the touring car. One OF
them held I'D his watch. Another CON-
missioner arose, thrust small pistol
above his head with q melodramatic
flourish, and fired.
At the signal the line Of contestants
wavered and plunged forward into the
shallow stream. There were, however,
quite enough hasty ones to raise a
wild splashing and turmoil, as, whoop-
ing and yelling, they spurred their po-
MES through the water and whirled
away at a gallop. Some wheeled up
the coulee; a few rode straight across
at the steep bank. Vandervyn, wild

was far down in the sky when he came
before the secretary's table, at the
end of the line. VaEdervyn rose from
his easy seat to take position behind
him. The secretary hesitated and
looked inquiringly at Vandervyn. He
met with a nod to proceed.
"You wish to register?" came the

curtness.
"Is an army officer entitled to enter
the contest?" questioned the smallest
commissioner.
"You need not debate the matter
said Hardy. II have resigned my COM
mission"
Again vandervyn nodded, and there
were no further objections raised.
Hardy and he signed the register, and
made their thumb prints, and were
duly described in writing by the sec
rotary.
Hardy at once mounted his mare.

of that steady approach to his rifle
muzzle compelled him to pause. 1t
disconnected him; it struck chill
into the heat Of his frenzy.
Still Hardy advanced, swift and
steady, his gaze never so much rs
Pickering. Now his eyes and forehead,
close beyond the foresight Of the rifle,
appeared enormously enlarged to Van
dervyn's distorted vision. Steadily
Hardy put up his hand, took hold of
the rifle barrel, and turned the muzzle
aside.
"Ah-h-h!" gasped Marie.
Hardy drew the rifle out Of Wander
vyn's relaxing grasp.
"Stand aside, STRIP he quietly COM
manded. II wish to speak alone with
Miss Dupont"
Vandervyn had parted with his rifle
as if dazed. At the sound Of Hardy's
voice a fresh wave Of crimson flooded
his face. He stepped back, and jerked
out his revolver. Hardy leaped upon
him like q panther, and struck the
weapon aside. The heavy bullet
whizzed past Hardy's head. A moment
later, Vandervyn, though the younger
and perhaps the stronger of the two,
reeled away. clutching his lacerated
trigger fingar. Hardy stood with the
revolver in his hand. He turned to
Marie.

"No" Vandervyn hoarsely forbade
the girl. "You shall not speak with

"You know she don't never mind

way, it sort Of looks like Cap is rum

Hardy had not glanced away from

CHAPTER XX-Continued.

Mumbling an apology, Dupont has
tily unfolded the deed, skinned
through it, and grasped the fact that
it purported to convey to him a full
half-interest in the mine. He had
started to read it over more carefully
when an oath from Vandervyn caused
him to look up.
The younger man pointed along the
coulee bank to where the road topped
the spur ridge of the butte.
"The devil!" he exclaimed "What
brings him back here?"
"Cap! 1t sure is Capri muttered

Vandervyn's face cleared. "You
ought to know. I'll chance it if"
"Ain't no chance to it," put in Du-
pont. "It's dead cinch."
Hell think he's going to do me-" ex-
ulted Vandervyn. ''Let him register.
He's come back for the mine first

IF she's willing. I'll see," qualified
Dupont. 'Look out you don't slip up.
I'll tend to my end. So long-good
luck!"
He rode off down the butte side Of
the coulee.
Vandervyn cantered straight across,
and met Hardy few yards below the
tent of the commissioners.
"Good day, captain" he spoke in
civil greeting. II am surprised to see
you back here. Have your orders been
countermanded?"
''No," replied Hardy with equal ci-
