A few minutes later Hardy came out
Of the cabin. Though grave. he was
cool and alert. He at once walked up
to Dupont. who sat putting at his pipe
on the top Of the mine-dump.
"Redbear seems to be quiet" he
said. "Where is your daughterf"
Dupont pointed vaguely down the
mountain-side. "She went of with Mr..
Van, to try to smooth down his fur.
You riled him considerable. Cap"
II regret that 1t was necessary to
reprimand you" -
"All right, Cap. I don't bear no
grudge. Mebbe now you'd like to take
a look at the mine."
"Yes," crisply agreed Hardy.
Dupont rose and led him into the
mouth Of the tunnel. There he un-
locked a heavy tool chest and took
out two candles. These were needed,
for though the tunnel ran into the
mountain side less than three hundred
feet, Its twisting course along the ore
vein soon shut out the daylight. Du-
pont noticed his companions dubious
look at the soft ore-body that formed
the roof and one wall Of the tunnel.
"Walk quiet, and don't talk loud"
he said. 1--WE amt done no timbering
yet. Drove in this drift to the foot Of
the shaft fast as we could git the lazy
cusses to work, SOS We could figure
what we had to count on"
Hardy made no reply until they
came to the end of the tunnel and
stepped out into the dim daylight OF
the shaft bottom. He looked up the
big, square, timbered well. and re-
marked: "You sank this first, then
drove In to meet It"
"Yep. Wanted to make sure the
vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen
and Mr.. Van both figured we got three
hundred thousand dollars of ore as
good as blocked out"
"Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to
Dupont to lead the way back.
They had gone twenty-five or thirty
PAGES when a little slither Of ore feil
on the floor of the tunnel In front OF
Dupont. Instantly he sprang forward
with a whispered cry: jump
quick!" =,
Hardy leaped after him. barely In

that dropped from the roof In mass.

the two men hastened stealthily down
the slight slope of the tunnel, their
candles upraIsed and eyes fixed On the

Vandervyn came Jogging back to the
mine. He had had delightful ride
with Marie, and he complacently init
mated the fact to Hardy.
In the midst Of this subtle torment
ing Of his rival, Oinna came out to
serve the supper that she had cooked
in the cabin. Vandervyn abruptly
changed the subject, and began to talk
about the council next day. Hardy
gave no sign that he observed this
sudden break or the furtive. adoring
glances that the girl bestowed on Van
dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
The night came on, clear and still.
As they pufred at their after-supper
pipes, Vandervyn suggested that, out
Of consideration for the young woman,
they roll up in their blankets outside
the cabin. To this Hardy made no OBJ
lection. They picked out soft spot
matted with fallen pine needles, under
low-growing tree, and soon both
were seemingly fast asleep.
After several minutes Vandervyn
spoke to his companion in low tone.
Hardy did not answer. vandervyn
drew out his pipe and struck a match.
He held the flame above Hardy's face.
The eyes were closed, and the severe,
half-melancholy expression Of the
harsh features was relaxed as II in

and around to the door. It was barred
Il
There was a sliding sound within
the cabin, and the heavy door began
to swing inward. vandervyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. At
the same moment a sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jerked him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whirled
about. It was empty. He bent for
ward to spring at the dark form in
the half-open doorway.
"Stand back |" came the stern COM
mand. II have your revolver. Oinna,

The door swung shut. In the tense
silence the rattle Of the bar as it shot
back into its socket was distinct. Van
dervyn's teeth ground together.

1T is difficult to understand the

Governor Sends MESSAGE.

st. Paul, April Ex-Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist has sent a special message
to the Minnesota house, urging the
passage of the bill creating a public
domain department in Minnesota and
taking control of state timber, lands
and mines, from the state auditor.
The bill is considered the most i'm
portant of the so=called efficiency and
economy" measures and was defeated
last week in the senate by two votes.
The governors action raises a direct
issue between him and State Auditor
J. A. O. Preus, who opposes the plan.
Friends of the bill have arranged for
it's amendment in the house to meet
objections raised in the senate. Rep
resentative Charles II. Warner, spon-
sor for the bill, will seek to offer an
amendment striking out the provision
providing for director of public -
main to have complete charge of the
department.

Membership Bill Killed,

st. Paul, April 3:-Once more has
the specter of sectionalism stalked
through legislative halls.
This time it appeared i'm the House
of Representatives The same meas
ure that evoked the sectional spirit
in the Senate was responsible, name
ly the constitutional amendment bill
limiting the membership in House
and Senate to 100 and so, respectively.
An amendment to the bill by Pascal
H. Frye of Wislmar to limit the repre-
sentative from any. one county to ''six
members" while loosely framed, was
recognized at once as the old attempt
to bring back the "seven senator"
amendment in another form, a propo-
sition twice turned down by the peo-
pie of the state. The amendment was
voted down.
Tom Davis of Marshall then submit
ted an amendment to limit the number
OF senators to seven and representa-
tlVes to II from any one county.
James Dryer of Minneapolis led the
fight against this proposal.
On final roll call the bill got only %
votes, there being II votes against it..
Four minor bills, prepared by the eff
ac!ency and economy commission,
were passed.

GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER

Few persons can be sick who use
Green's August Flower. It has been
used for all ailments that are caused
by discrdered stomach and inactive
liver, such as sick headache, constipa-
ton, sour stomach, nervous indiges-
ton, fermentation of food, palpitation
of the heart from gases created in
the stomach, pains in the stomach, and
many other organic disturbances.
August Flower is a gentle laxative,
regulates digestion, both in the stom-
ach and intestines, cleans and sweet
ems the stomach and whole alimentary
canal, and stimulates the liver to Sc
crete the bile and impurities from the
blood. Try it. Two doses will relieve
you. Used for fifty years in every
town and hamlet in the United States
and in all civilized countries.-Adv.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or caIIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri.
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv

dissenting voice, the members of the
Minnesota house and senate has
passed resolution asking every men,
Der of the Minnesota congressional
delegation to stand by the president
Of the United States and pledging the
government the support of the state

house, but later asked that his vote be
recorded against it.
In the senate, where the resolution,
drawn by Senator George H. Sullivan,
was first presented, the unanimous
vote was accompanied by repeated
bursts of cheering. The vote was pre-
coded by demonstration hardly less
enthusiastic when an American flag
was slowly lowered from the balcony
over the speakers desk. AS the flag
was dropped, the senator's, led by Ole
Sageng, sang verse of "The Star
Spangled Banner"
When the resolution was introduced
in the house by Representatives w. L.
Nolan and A. F. Pratt, Mr.. Devoid
gave notice Of debate Mr.. Nolan
sprang to his feet and moved that the
rules be suspended so the resolution
could be passed at once This was
done by rising vote, about six mem
bers of the house keeping their seats.
The resolution was then passed with
a cheer.
