CHAPTER VI.
Wally Gets Orders.

Macdonald, from his desk, looked up
at the man in the doorway. Selfridge
had come in jauntily, a cigar in his
mouth, but at sight Of the grim face
Of his chief the grin fled.
"Come in and shut the door," ordered
the Scotsman. 81 sent for you to con-
graduate you, Wally. You did fine
work outside. You told me, didn't you,
that it was all settled at last-that our
claims are clear-listed for patent?"
The tubby little man felt the edge
Of irony in the quiet voice. "Sure.
That's what Winton told me-" he as
sented nervously.
'"Then you'll be interested to know
that a special agent Of the land de-
partment sat opposite me last night
and without batting an eye came
across with the glad news that he was
here to investigate our claims"
Selfridge bounced up like rubber
ball from the chair into which he had
just settled. 'What!"
"Pleasant surprise, isn't It? I've
been wondering what you were doing
outside. OF course I know you had
to take in the shows and cabarets Of
New York. But couldn't you edge In
an hour or two once week to attend
to business"
Wally's collar began to choke him.
The cool, hard words pelted like hail.
"Must be bluff, Mac. The muckrake
magazines have raised such a row
about the Guttenchild crowd putting
over a big steal on the public that the
party leaders are scared stiff"
81 understand that, Wally. What
don't get is how you came to let them
slip this over on you without even
guess that it was going to happen"
That phase of the subject Selfridge
did not want to discuss.
'Bet you hat I've guessed it right
just a grand-stand play Of the admin
istration to fool the dear people. This
fellow has got his orders to give us
clean bill Of health. Sure. That
must be it. I suppose it's this man
Elliot that came up on the boat

seen we can see HIM"


Macdonald looked his man Friday
over with scarcely yelled contempt.
"You've about as much vision as
breed trader. Unless l miss my guess,
Elliot isn't that kind. He'll go through
to finish. If he sees straight we're
all right, but if he is narrow conser-
walton fanatic he might go ahead and
queer the whole game"
"YOu wouldn't stand for that" The
quick glance of Selfridge asked ques-
ton.
The lips of the Scotsman We're like
steel traps and his eyes points Of steel.
"We'll cross that bridge if we come to
it. Our first move Is to try to win him
to see this thing our way. I'll have
casual talk with him before he leaves
for Kamatlah and feel him out"
"What's he doing here at all? If
he's investigating the Kamatlah claims,
why does he 60 hundreds Of miles out
Of his way to come in to Kusiak?"
asked Selfridge.
Macdonald smiled sardonically. "He's
doing this job right. Elliot as good as
told me that he's on the job to look up
my record thoroughly. SO he comes to
Kusiak first. In few days he'll leave
for Kamatlah. That's where you come
in, Wally."
"How do you mean?"
you're goi g to start for Kamatlah
tomorrow. You'll arrange the stage
before he gets there-see all the men
and the foremen. Line them up so
they'll come through with the proper
talk. If you have any doubts about
whether you can trust someone, don't
take any chances. Fire him out Of the
camp. Offer Elliot the company hos
pitality. Load him down with favors.
Take him everywhere. Show him ev-
erything. But don't let him get any
proofs that the claims are being
worked under the same management"
"But he'll suspect it."
"You can't help his suspicious. Don't
let him get proof. Cover all the tracks
that show company CONTROL"
II can fix that" he said. "But what
about Holt? You know how bitter he
Island crazy. He ought to be locked
away with the flitter-mice."
"You mustn't let Elliot meet Holt"

office sent up to investigate the Mac
donald coal claims and kindred in
terests."
Slowly the rigor Of the big Scots
mans steely eyes relaxed to smile
that was genial and disarming. If this
news hit him hard he gave no sigN
Of it. And that it was an unexpected
blow there could be no doubt.
"Glad you've come, Mr.. Elliot. We
ask nothing but fair play. The men
who own the Macdonald group Of
claims have nothing to conceal. I'll
answer that question. I meant to say
two years ago last spring."
His voice was easy and his gaze un-
wavering as he made the correction,
yet everybody in the room except Sheba
knew he was deliberately lying to
cover the slip. For the admission that
he had inspected the Kamatlah field
just before his dummies had filed upon
it would at least tend to- aggravate sus-
picion that the entries were not bona
fide. a
It was rather an awkward moment.

MACLEOD RAINE
Copyright, 1907, by William Macleod Raine

GIlCe.
"She's wonderfully pretty, and of
course Diane will make the most of
her. But Mrs. Mallory is woman
among ten thousand"
"I'd choose the girl if it were me-
said the man.
'But it isn't you. Wen see what
We'll see."
They were moving up the street and
Gordon heard no more. What he had
heard was not clear to him. Why
fact that Mrs. Mallory and Sheba
O'Neill had come up the river on the
same boat? Yet he was vaguely dis
turbed by the insinuatiOn that in some
way Diane was entering her cousin as
a rival of the older woman. He re-
sented the idea that the fine, young
personality Of the Irish girl was being
cheapened by management on the part
of Diane Paget.
Elliot was not the only dinner guest
at the Paget home that evening. He
found Colby Macdonald sitting in the
living room with Sheba. She came
quickly forward to meet the newly ar
rived guest.
'Mr. Macdonald has been telling me
about my father. He knew him on
Frenchman creek where they both
worked claims" explained the girl.
The big mining man made no COM
ment and added nothing to what she
said. There were times when his face
was about as expressive as a stone
wall.
The dinner went off very we'll. Diane
and Peter had great many questions
to ask Gordon about old friends. BY
the time these had been answered Mac
donald was chatting easily with Sheba.
She listened with glowing eyes to the
strange tales this man Of magnificent
horizons had to tell. Never before had
she come into contact with anyone like
him.
Paget was superintendent Of the
Lucky Strike, mine owned princi-
pally BY Macdonald. The two talked
cigars, but Diane interrupted gayly to
bring them back into the circle.
Adroitly she started Macdonald on the
account Of rescue Of two men lost
in blizzard the year before. He had
the gift Of dramatizing his story, of
selecting only effective details. There
was no suggestion of boasting. If he
happened to be the hero Of any of his
stories the fact was of no Importance
to him. It was merely a detail of the
picture he was sketching.
Gordon interrupted with question
a story he was telling of fight he had
seen between two bull moose.
did you say that was while you
were on the way over to inspect the
Kamatlah coal fields for the first
time"
The eyes Of the young man were

-Four years ago last spring."
Macdonald looked at him with q
wary steadiness. Some doubt had
found lodgment in his mind. Before
he could voice it, If, indeed, he had
any such intention, Elliot broke in

RED CROSS NEWS.

Confusion has arisen in the minds
of great many people as to whether
or not the Red Cross still includes
trench candles in its program of
war activities, and in order to do
away with such cunfusion and to an,
swer inquiries on the subject, the
Southern Division headquarters, Col.
William Lawson Peel manager, wishes
to make it plain that the Red Cross no
longer will accept trench candles for
shipment to France.
THE Red Cross does not accept
trench candles" says Col. Peel, ''and
the chapters are requested not to
make them any more We cannot han
die them for shipping because all the
space is needed for more important
things, such as surgical dressings and
hospital garments.
William A. Ellis, southern director
of the Junior Red Cross, has Just re-
ceived telegram to this same effect
