CHAPTER vi.
The Old Cfnnabar.

Daddy, here Is man I found down
at the head Of Antelope gulch; he
had lost his way, so I brought him
home with me-" was the simple man
ner In which she launched me; and
l found myself shaking hands with
an elderly man who looked as If he
might be farmer, or a miner, or
something Of that nature-you will
know what mean-fannel shirt,
trousers tucked into boots. iron-gray
whiskers all over his face, an eye as
mild as collie dogs.
"You done plum right, Jeanie," he
remarked; and then to me: "Come
right on in, stranger, and be at home.
If you don't see what you want, ask
for it," After which he went to take
care Of the piebald pony.
The log cabin proved to be primitive
only on the outside. The interior was
dream Of coy LONELINESS. A hang
ing lamp lighted it, and in it's mild
glow I had my first real look at the
girl.
She wasn't beautiful in any show
girl meaning Of the word; she was
something far better-piquant, charm
ing. A round little face, wihd-tanned
to tint as delicious as the blush in
the heart Of an apple-blossom, jolly
bit Of nose, tip-tilted enough to be-
speak healthy sense Of humor, a
mouth neither too large nor too small
upheld by firm, round chin, and the
chin upheld by an extra firm little jaw.
AS she had admitted, her eyes were
blue-the blue that shades into violet
and they were well-set; wide apart
and perfectly fearless; the kind Of
eyes fit to match the straight-lined
brows that usually 60 with them.
I sat before the cheerful blaze,
chuckling quietly to myself over the
mad adventures Of the day and their
highly romantic, not to say miraculous,
outcome. Beyond all manner Of doubt
I had stumbled upon the three tails
mans Of Cousin Percy's cryptic letter.
By the most marvellous Of accidents
L udu ulSSOFCACu tuC SIIl, Luc uoA So
and the dog; and, If the remainder Of
Percy's letter were to be taken at
it's face value, I should now be in
touch with my legacy.
AS to the character Of that legacy,
there could be no further question.
Grandfather Jasper had left me
mine; and I was fully prepared to
find it the drowned mine of Bul1erton's
story. What I might be able to make
Of it was matter which could well
be postponed to another day. Just as
I reached this postponing conclusion,
the girls father came In, drew up
chair on the opposite side Of the
hearth, and began to make me well
come in a mild-mannered way, saying
that they didn't have much company,
and were always master" glad to see
new face. He did not ask me any
troublesome questions; and beyond
telling me his name, which was Hiram
Twombly, did not volunteer any In
formation about himself or his daugh-
ter, nor did he explain how they came
to be living In so much comparative
comfort in such an out-of-the-Way
place.

of the pressure between the head of

The chilled iron wheels on the for

The second axle of the engine truck
