CHAPTER XVII.
sheba Does Not Think go.

Sheba Does Not Think SO.
The fingers Of Sheba were busy with
the embroidery upon which she worked,
but her thoughts were full Of the man
who lay asleep on the lounge. His
strong body lay at ease, relaxed.
Already health was flowing back into
his veins. Beneath the tan Of the
thin, muscular cheeks a warmer color
was beginning to creep. Soon he would
be about again, vigorous and forceful,
striding over obstacles to the goal he
had set himself.
Sheba had sent him a check for the
amount he had paid her and had re-
fused to see him or anybody else.
Shamed and humiliated, she had kept
to her room. The check had come back
to her by mail.
Across the face Of It he had written
in his strong handwriting:
Il don't welsh ON my bets. You can't
give to me what Is not mine.
"Do not think for an instant that I
shall not marry you"
She moved to adjust q window blind
and when she returned found that his
steady eyes were fixed upon her.
you're getting better fast" she
said.
"Yes."
The girl had a favor to ask Of him
and lest her courage fail she plunged
into 1t.
"Mr. Macdonald, If you say the word
Mr.. Elliot will be released on bail. I

say it."
His narrowed eyes held a cold gilt
ter. "Whyr
"You must know he is innocent. You
must"
II know only what the evidence
shows" he cut in. warily on his guard.
"He may or may not have been one Of
my attackers. From the first blow I
was dazed. But everything points to
1t that he hired"
"Oh. mol" interrupted the Irish girl,
her dark eyes shining softly. 1.-THE way
Of 1t is that he saved your life, that
he fought for you, and that he is in
prison because of it."
IF that is true, why doesn't he
bring some proof Of itf'
''Proof" she cried scornfully. BE
tween friends"
':He's no friend of mine. The man is
a meddler. despise him."
The scarlet flooded her cheeks.
"And am liking him very, very much,
she flung back stanchly.
Macdonald looked up at the vivid.
flushed face and found 1t wholly
charming. He liked her none the less
because her fine eyes were hot and
defiant In behalf of his rival.
"Very WE'LL" he smiled. "T1l get
him out If you'll do me good turn. /"
"Thank you. It's bargain"
'Then sing to me-"
"What shall I singr"
"Stng Divided"
The long lashes veiled her soft eyes
while she considered. In way he had
trtcked her into singing for him a
love-song she did not want to sing.
But she made no protest. Swiftly she
turned and slid along the bench. Her
fingers touched the keys and she be-
gan.
Sheba paid her pledge in full. After
the fifst two stan1as were finished she
sang the last ones ~ well: my

but until now there had been no rea-
son why he should. Within q quarter
Of an hour he lifted the iron n-grilled
sash bodily from the frame and
crawled through the window.
He found Paget and Strong waiting
for him In the shadows Of pine out
side the yard Of Selfridge.
ITO begin with, you walk straight
home and go to bed, Peter" the young
man announced. You're not in this.
You're not invited to our party. I
don't have to tell you why. do Ir'
The engineer understood the reason.
He was an employee Of Macdonald, q
man thoroughly trusted by him. Even
though Gordon intended only to right
wrong, It was better that Paget
should not be party to It Reluctant
ly Peter went home.
Gordon turned to Strong. II owe
you lot already. There's no need for
you to run risk of getting Into trou-
BILE for me. II things break right, I
can do what have to do without
help"
"And If they don't7" Strong waved
an impatient hand. "Cut 1t out, Elliot.
I've taken fancy to go through with
this. I never did like Selfridge any
how, and amt got wife and don't
work for Mac. Why shouldn't have
some funT
Gordon shrugged his shoulders. "Al1
right. Might as well play ball and get
things moving, then"
The little miner knocked at the door,
Wally himself opened. Elliot, from the
shelter Of the pine, saw the two men
In talk. Selfridge shut the door and
came to the edge Of the porch. He
gave gasp and his hands went trem-
bling into the air. The six-gun Of the
miner had been pressed hard against
his fat paunch. Under curt orders he
moved down the steps and out Of the
yard to the tree.
At sight Of Gordon the eyes Of
Wally stood out in amazement. Little
sweat beads burst out on his forehead,
for he remembered how busy he had
been collecting evidence against this
man.
'W-w-what do you want7" he asked.
"Got your keys with you?"
"Y-yes."
"Come with u.s."
Wally breathed more freely. For a
moment he had thought this man had
come to take vengeance on him.
They led him by alleys and back
streets to the office of the Macdonald
Yukon Trading company. Under or
ders he knocked on the door and called
out who he was. Gordon crouched
close to the log wall, Strong behind
him.
Let me in, Olson" ordered Sell
fridge.
The door opened, and man stood
on the threshold. Elliot was on top Of
him like panther. The man went

Elliot was sitting on one Of the beds
he had not moved IN inch since Macy
had appeared. but the brain behind his
live eyes was taking stock Of the sttu-
alton. Big Bill blocked the doorway.
The table was In front Of the window.
Unless he could light his way ont. there
was no escape for him. He was
trapped.
Quietly Gordon looked from one to
another.

The field agent did not understand
the fury Of the man, because he did
not know that these miners were work.
ing the claim under q detective title
and that they had jumped to the con-
clusion that he had come to get evi-
dence against them. But he knew that
never In his life had he been in Q tight
er hole. In another minute they would
attack him. Whether It would run
to murder he could not tell. At the
best he would be hammered helpless.
But no evidence Of this knowledge
appeared in his manner.
II didn't give my last name because
there is prejudice against me in this
country" he explained in an even
voice.
He wondered as he spoke II he had
better try to fling himself through the
window sash. There might be re-
mote chance that he could make 1t.
The miner at the table killed this
possibility by rising and standing
squarely in the road.
''Look outi He's got a gat,"
warned Macy. tsf III.
Gordon fervently wished he had. But
he was unarmed. While his eyes
Quested for a weapon he played for
time.
"You can't get away with this, you
know. The United States government
is back Of me. It's known left the
Willow Greek camp. I'll be traced
here"
Through Gordon's mind there flashed
a word Of advice once given him by
a professional prizeaghter: IF you
get in rough house, don't wait for
the other fellow to hit first"
They were crouching for the attack.
In another moment they would be upon
him. Almost with one motion he
stopped, snatched up by the leg
heavy stool, and sprang to the bed
upon which he had been sitting.
The four men closed with him in .
rush. They came at him low. their
heads protected by uplifted arms. His
memory brought to him a picture Of
the whitewashed gridiron Of a football
field, and in it he saw vision OF
safety.
The stool crashed down upon Big
Bill Macy's head. Gordon hurdled the
crumpling figure, plunged between

MECHANICAL PILOT
TO GUIDE ENGINES

To prevent accidents and collisions
on the railroads because of careless
or overworked engineers forgetting
orders or running by signals, John 7.
Nolan supervisor Of telephones and
telegraph at the Washington Termi-
nal Station here, today successfully
demonstrated q safety device which Is
in realty . mechanical pilot on the en-
gine.
The new device. patented under the
name of train annunciator and indi-
Gator" can be installed on an engine
at q cost of $50. according to the
inventor.
Works Simply.
Il works simply. An engineer
leaving Washington with special or
ders TO stop at Lanham. Nd, would
use the device as follows: Before
starting his train he would wind
little wheel on the side Of the device
ui.ttl the name Lanham appeared in
an open slot in front OF the little box
Then he would Hash . green light
in another slot In, front of the cabi-
net, which means caution The engi-
neer knows the time he win arrive In
LAnham, so he sets q small hand on
the master clock within nye minutes
Of the. time he Is supposed to arrive
Now, maybe this engineer is having
engine trouble or perhaps has q habit
of forgetting. He forgets the special
order and Is hitting the railsT at a
good clip when all OF = sudden his
air brakes go on and . shrin air
whistle blows.
Device At work.

ton, for he set the master clock to

proceeds
In the master clock Is . disk which
registers the time the engineer made

end of his journey the train master
can take out this disk and read the

MEN ON LITTLE ELDORADO ARE
 AT WORK

The Little Eldorado creek, i'm the Fairbanks district will be the sceae of much mining activity this summer, is the statement of the Fairbanks News Miner. At least ten d!frerent outfits are running tun- nels and blocking out ground and si}i be ready to hoist directly into u. sluice boxes when the water runs. Although. the operators are mostly all doing their own develop meat work, several will employ small crews when sluicing begins.
 BreviE brothers, at the mouth of Little EldOrado, worked twenty men last summer and, reports say, they will work on as large a scale this year. This creek has been mined on large scale in the past, employing several hundred mi4ers for several years; and Cleary on one side of it, and Dome on the, other, have drawn on the hill sides of this creek for wood, which in consequence, is now very scarce aad expensive. The mineres say it's alm2st impossible to get wood now or Little Eldorado, which works considerable hardship, as the groun is quite deep, necessitating com plete plants and the further fact that the cream" was skinned ott the old creek, to say nothing of the war prices now on everything

GAS LAUNCH SANTA RITA
 LOSES PROPELLOR WHEEL

The Gas Launch Santa Rita, from Juneau, which makes a weekly trip from that city to Skagway and; way ports, met with an accident when a few miles out from Haines Friday afternoon, bound for this port. When about opposite Indian Rock the propeller wheel dropped off from the shaft, and the little ship was sailed the remainder of the way to Skagway. Immediately "t- ter the wheel was lost, the sail was raised, and as the wind was ia yorablo the run up the canal was made in fair time. Repairs were made here, and she got away for her home port last night.
