The HoId-Up.

Beasley left me sitting on the door
Step-I've q notion he had run out of
handouts, else he might have clapped
a pair Of them on melville he start
ed his posse down to AtrOpia with the
captured raiders and their leader.
When he came back we took time,
Daddy and l and the big marshal, to
size up the damage that had been
wrought, and beyond that. to dig into
the mystery Of the continuous grum-
bling roar which was still ascending
out of the w~reck-cOvered mine shaft.
Beasley stayed with us, waiting, as
I took it, to get his breakfast before
he ran me off to Jail, and the three of
us fell to work clearing away the
fallen timbers and roofing iron, Dad
dy Hiram leading the attack and be-
ing the first to stick his head through
what remained OF the tangle and hang
il over the edge Of the shafts mouth.
"Hooray!" he yelled, his voice
sounding rs If 1t came from the inside
of a barrel and then again, "Hooray,
Stannie, son by the ghosts of old
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,

do-dreened your mine for ye! Climb
in here and take q look at her. She's
empty-empty rs a gOurd-but, at
that, she amt goin' to be, very long,"
A few more minutes of the strenu-
Gus toll cleared the pit mouth so that
we could all see. The bomb which had
exploded in the shaft had wrought a
complete transformation. The stand
ing flood, which all of our pumping
attacks had failed to lower by so
much as q fraction Of an inch, was
gone, and with 1T had vanished the
two big cen~trifugals, the platform
upon which thcJ had stood. and their
pipe connections. Gone, likewise, was
the greater part Of the heavy wooden
shaft-lining. a little Of this remained
in the upper part OF the shaft, but
from n point possibly twenty-five feet
down, there was nothing but the bare
rock sides Of the square pit swept by
the receding food.
As for the hollow roaring noise
which had followed the crash of the
explosion. and which still continued,

CHAPTER XVI.-Continued

Now the presence of n wagon on u
bench at this early hour In the morn
ing might mean either n of two
Numerically opposite things: Our
deliverance; or the upcoming Of re-
Inducements for the raiders. We were
not left long in doubt. Shortly after
the rack-rack of the wagon wheels
stopped we heard footsteps, and the
hair stiffened on Barney's back. Next
we heard BullertOn's voice, just out
side and apparently under our window
openings.
"Broughton :" the voice called; "can
you hear me?"

"All right-listen. You've got TO get

For Il time after this the silence,

before dawn. were thick enough to be
cut with an AK. But the dog was
more restless than ever. and we knew
that something we could neither see
nor hear must be going on. After a
while ! asked the question that had
been worrying me ever since | had
heard the wagon wheels.
WHAT did they bring up in that
wagon, Daddy-a Gatiing?"
"Hiie Lord emily knows. Stannie-and
he won't tell" was the old prospector's
reply, made with no touch of irrever-
Cncc; and the words were scarcely out
of his mouth before a thunderEOlt
struck the ShafthOuSe.

CHAPTER XVII.
Tit for Tat.

That word "thunderbOlt" Is hardly
a figure of speech. The thing that hit
us couldn't be compared to anything
milder than thunder and lightning.
There was a fash. Il rending, ripping
roar as If the solid earth were spit
ting i'm two, and the air was filed with
flying fragments and splinters. Air, l
say, but the acrid, choking gas which
flied the shafthouse could scarcely be
called air.
"Dynamite-that's what they fetched
in that wagon! !" gurgled the old man
at my side, and l could have shouted
fOr. JOY at the mere sound of his voice.
since it was an assurance that he.
hadn't been killed outright.
ITS only a question of a little time,
now, Daddy" l prophesied. "What
YOU said yesterday-that Fullerton
would try to get possession without
destroying the prOperty-no longer
holds good. lie has evidently decided
that we've got to be Ousted, eyen at
the expense Of building a new shaft
house and Installing new machinery.
Why has he changed his mind, when
he knows that he could starve us out
I'm q few days."
II been thinkin' about that, right
p'inteGly, Stannie. Shouldn't wonder
If sOmethin's in the wind-somethin'
we don't know about"
"Tlicn there's another thing" l put
in. Surprising, just for the sake of
argument, that our first guess was
right: that he did take jeanne to
Angels three days ago and that they
were married there. You know your
daughter, Daddy, and l know her, a
little. Nobody but an idiot would sup
pose that she'd live with Fullerton as
his wife for a single minute if he
makes himself your murderer"
1T sure does look hathaway to q
man up a tree" admitted the stout
old fighter.
I'm hanging Oh to the little hope
like q dog to a root, Daddy" / con
fessed. IF l can only keep on believ-
ing that they're not married, l can put
up a better fight, or be snuffed Out-if
have tO be-with a good few less
heart-burnings."
But at this the old man, who, no
longer ago than the yesterday, had
seemed TO lean definitely toward the
no-marriage hypothesis, suddenly
changed front.
'Don't you go to bankin' on any
thing like that, Stannie, son." he said
In q twne Of deep Encouragement.

translated into facts. / could have

in the box, and there was a bottom.

and when they had drawn me up TO
the pits mouth and l could get upon
my feet, i yipped at Daddy and the
marshal to come on, and led them In
an outdoor race along the mine ledge
to the eastward; q hundred-yardS
dash which brought us to the banks
Of the swift little mountain torrent in
the right-hand gulch.
A brief search revealed precisely
what l was expecting to find; what
anyone in possession Of the facts pre-
cedent would have expected to find.
In the middle of a small pool slightly
upstream from the path level-a peck
eted bit Of water neatly screened and
half hidden by a growth OF low
branching spruces--we saw a cone
shaped whirlpool swirl into which q
good third Of the stream flow was
vanishing. Below this pool an appar-
emily accidental heaping Of rocks
formed a small dam which kept the
little reservoir full.
Without a word, Daddy Hiram and
the Angelic marshal plunged reckless
~ into the stream and with their bare
hands tore away the loose-rock dam.
With the removal Of the slight barrier
and the consequent clearing Of the
course Of the stream, the pocket reser-

of the ~cataracting pipe was exposed,
and the secret of the flooded Cinnabar
was a secret no longer.

that my grandfather had paid for 1t,

would be doubled. Two alternatives

there was q good and sufficient reason
plainly visible from the pits mouth.
Some twenty feet down, and on the
eastern side of the shaft, n stream OF
water big enough to run a good-sized
hydro-electric plant was pouring into
the perpendicular cavern, and 1t was
its plunging descent into the bowels
Of the earth which was making the
mimic thunder.
Beasley was the first to find speech.
"Where the blaZes is all that water
comm frOm?" he exploded.
That's just what we're going to
find out! ~ i barked. Can you and
Daddy handle my weight in a rope
sling?"
They both protested that they could
handle two of me if necessary, and n
sling vas quickly rugged and / was
lowered into the pit. At the nearer
view thus obtained, some of the mys-
teries were instantly made clear. The
reason why the wooden boxing disap-
peared below a certain point in the
shaft was that it had never extended
any farther down. 1t had been mere
ly n box with q bottom and all those
pipe-dream impressions which had
tried to register themselves on the
day when l had my struggle with the

had surrounded a fair half Of the
would-be Jumpers and were hand
cutting them with a celebrity that was
truly admirable. And Beasley, him
self, square-jawed and peremptory,
was showing Fullerton up against the
side OF the shaft-house, swapping the
irons upon his wrists and counseling
him, with choice epithets intermin-
gled, TO save up his troubles and tell
them to the judge.
AS we emerged from our wrecked
fortress, other membes's of the posse
were scattering to round up the out
lying bOmb-throwers, who had appar-
emily taken to the tall timber In Il
paniC-stricken effort to escape. Down
on the bench below there were horses
and hOrse-holders; and among the
horses one whose boyish-looking rider
was just slipping from the saddle.
While / was wondering vaguely why
he Angels town marshal had let a
mere boy come along on such a battle
errand, the boyish figure ran up the
read and darted in among us to fling
itself into Daddy Hiram's arms, CUR
Cling and half crying and begging to
be told if he was hurt.
/ didn't know at the time how much
or how little the big marshal knew of
the various and muddled involvements
which were climaXing right there in
the early morning sunshine on the old
Cinnabar dump head but l do know
that he quickly turned his captures
over to some Of his deputies and had
them promptly hustled down stage

to say, hoping that the brain storm
had subsidized sufficiently TO make me
visible. "WelcOme home, Miss TwOm-
bly-or should | say Mrs. Fullerton"
The look she gave me was just plain
deadly you wouldn't think that VIC
let-blue eyes could do it, but they can.
Then she drew a folded paper from
somewhere inside Of her clothes and
held it out to me.
There is the deed TO your mine.
Mr.. ~Broughton," she said nippingly,
and with a fairly tragical emphasis on
the courtesy title. you wouldn't
take the trouble to go to COpah and

DANGERg

When you feel a cold coming on,
there is danger lurking. Do not delay
taking DeWITT'S LAXATIVE COLD
TABLETS and avoid the serious con.
sequences that often follow neglect.
Beware of this, the most common Of
ali diseases, the common cold. Unfor-
tunately we are often careless and In.
different about them just because they
are so common, and when neglected
may lead to pneumonia, bronchitis or
other serious affections of the breathing
organs. Headaches, sneezing, alternate
feeling of hot and cold often mean q
cold coming on and should be attended
to without delay. Colds are also very
contagiousand easily contracted through
the bacteria spread by coughing, spit.
ting and sneezing. Keep away from
people who do this and especially those
who do so without guarding the mouth
with. a handkerchief. Keep the system
in good condition, the bowels regular,
get all the fresh air possible and never
be without DeWitt'S Laxative Cold
Tablets. They are carefully and scien-
tifcally prepared and act surely and
quickly in breaking up a cold. They
are mildly laxative, cause no ringing In
the head Or other disagreeable after
effects, and come to you in sanitary air
