giving him chance TO join forces
with me in the search, If II should
prove TO be my grandfather's mine that
he was looking for. Grabbing this i'm
pulse by the neck, so TO speak, took
the first train for Cripple Creek. The
next morning, when | made inquiry,
found that Fullerton had left town,
though where he had gone the banl;
folks couldn't say.
l had gone into the chase more than
half for the sheer fun of IT.; pretty

which he hasn't much hope of finding.
But now 1t was appealing to me as
more of mans job. There was a
legacy; and however valueless II might
be In its present condition, 1t had once
been worth nearly half a million-and
might be again. And half-miliion is
a whole lot of money, when you come
TO consider 1t.
From what little the bank folks told
me it appeared that Fullerton was
fairly well known in Cripple Greek
and the region roundabout. Therefore,
somebody in the near vicinity must
know more than | had as yet been
able to learn about the manner of his
disappearance and his probable desti-
nation. My job was to find the some
body.
About the time | thought | had ex-
hausted all the combinations, ! found

inquiry. "Bullerton is bughouse on

usual disease in any mining country

'Then. of course. you have no idea
where his hunt was to begin?" | threw
In.
"Only guess. Incur talk. he asked
me if ! knew anything about a place
called Placerville, In the Red desert (;
what sort of town 1t was. and If a
man could outfit there for a prospect

might be heading for PlacervilIe. |
though he didn't say that he was"
AS you'd imagine, this was enough |
for me. The next morning was back |
In Denver. figuring out the quickest |
way to get to Placerville In the Red |
desert. l hoped Fullerton was on the
true scent, but was nightly afraid he

tied up to the station and made

brakes and hopping OFF to dodge into

tie pop-popping engine running at
