FARRELL

sYNOPSIS.-At Thornton Fair
child's death his son Robert learns
there has been a dark period In
his fathers life which for almost
thirty years has caused him suffer
ing. The secret is limited at In a
document left by the elder Fair
child, which also informs Robert
he is now owner OF a mining claim
In Colorado, and advising him
10 see Henry Beamish, a lawyer.
Beamish tells Robert his claim, a
silver mine, is at Ohadi, thirty
eight miles from Denver. He also
warns him against n certain man,
"Squint' Rodaine, his fathers en-
envy. Robert decides 20 go TO Ohadi.
On the road TO Ohadi from Denver
Fairchild assists a girl apparently
In a frenzy OF haste, TO change a
tire on her auto. When she has
left, the sheriff and a posse appear,
in pursuit OF a bandit. Fairchild,
bewildered, misleads them as to the
direction the girl had taken. At
Ohadi Fairchild is warmly greeted
by Mother Howard, boarding
house keeper, for his fathers sake.
From Mother Howard Fairchild
learns something OF the mystery
connected with the disappearance
OF "Sissie" Larsen, his fathers CO.
worker in the min He meets the
girl he had assisted, but she denies
her identity. She is Anita Rich
mond. Judge Richmond's daughter.
Visiting his claim, Fairchild Is
Swallowed by a man he recognizes
from descriptions as "Squlnt" Ro-
dame. Back In Ohadi, his fathers
old friend, Harry Harkins, a Cor
nishman. summoned from England
by Beamish to help Fairchild,
halls him with joy. The pair find
the mine flooded and have not sufi-

Harkins fall into the flooded mine,
and evidently Is drowned. Rarkins
being a generaiefavorite, the entire
population turns out TO clear the
flooded mine. When the work Is
practically done. Harry appears.
Ii had BEEN a shrewC trick, and
the men take IL as a good joke.
Fairchiid learns that Judge Rich
mond is dying, and that he and
Anita are in the power Of the Ro-
6a,nes. They begin, as partners,
TO work the mine. In their hearts
both fear Larsen was killed by
Thornton Fairchild and his body
buried by a cave-in which destroyed
the mine. At the "Old Times Bali"
Fairchild dances with Anita, TO the
discontinue OF Maurice Rodaine,
"
engaged TO the girl. A bandit holds
up the dance and shoots a merry
maker. Maurice Rodaine claims he
recognized the bandit as Harkins.
The latter is arrested. Fairchild
interferes to save Ani,a from the
bullying OF the two Rodaines, and
is mystified at Anita's apparent
ingratitude.

The Rodalnes were on the sidewalk
when Fairchild came forth from the
Richmond home, and true to his in
structlons from the frightened girl, he
brushed past them swiftly and went
on down the street. not turning at the
muttered invectives which came from
the crooked lips Of the older man, not
seeming ever to notice their presence
as he hurried on toward Neither How
ards boarding house. In his creaky
bed he sought to think, but In vain.
After hours, daylight began to streak
che sky. Fairchild. dull. worn by ex-
~cltement and fatigue, strove to rise,
ahen laid his head on the pillow for
Just a moment Of rest. And with that
perversity which extreme WEAKNESS
so often exerts, his eyes closed, and
he slept-to wake at last with the
realization that 1t was late morning,
and that some n was pounding or
the deor. Fairchild raised his head.
"yyho Is TT"

TO talk to you about your partner.

"Yes." Fairchild was fully alive
now to the activities that the day held
before him. The door opened, and a
young man, alert. almost cocky In nan
ner. with black, snappy eyes showing
behind horn-rimmed glasses, entered
and reached for the sole chair that the
room contained.
"Ary names Farrell" he announced.
Randolph P. Farrell. And to make
a long story short, I'm your lawyer"
"My lawyer?" Fairchild stared. IL

and bask in the elfulgence Of really

And he turned back into the court
room, while Fairchild, the dazed Har-
ry stalking beside him, started down
the street.
SOW do you figure it," asked the
Cornlshman at last.
"What?"
"Rodaine. 'E 'elped us Quit"
Fairchild stopped. 1t had not oc-
Cured to him before. But now he
saw it: that # Rodaine, as an expert
on mining, had condemned the Blue
Poppy, it could have meant only one
thing, the denial of bond by the judge
and the lack of freedom for Harry.
Fairchild rubbed a hand across big
brow.
II can't figure It," came at last.
"And especially since his son Is the
u and since l got the best OF
them both last night |"
"Got the best Of 'em? Your"
The story was brief in its telling.
And it brought no explanation of the
sudden amiability displayed by the
c~rooked-faced Rodaine. They went on,
striving vainly for a reason, at last to
stop in front of the post office, as the
postmaster leaned out of the door.
"Your names Fairchild, isn't it?"
asked the person of letters.

"For me?" Vaguely Fairchild went

then looked at the pOstmark-Den-
YER At last:
"Open 1t, why don't you?"
Harry's mustache was tickling his
ear. as the big miner stared over his
shoulder. Before them were figures
and sentences which blurred for a mo-
ment, finally to resolve into:
"Mr. Robert Fairchild,
"Ohadi, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
IL am empowered by q client whose
name l am not at liberty to state. to

Harry whistled long and thoughtful

That's a ole lot Of money"
"An awful lot, Harry. But why was
