CHAPTER XIII.
A Battle and a Siege.


1t was Daddy Hiram who made the
first break.
Charley Fullerton, where's my
daughter?" he raped out. hurting the
question at the loafer on our doorstep
in a sort of deadly rage that you
wouldn't have thought possible in SO
mild-mannered a man. .'
you needn't worry about her." was
the cool response. Didn't you get the
note she left for you, saying that you
needn't?" Then, as If he had just seer
and recognized me: Hello, Brough-
ton we've missed a day, but I'll give
you the benefit of it and not dock you.
Are you selling the old water-logged
Cinnabar for twenty thousand dollars
this fine morning? It'll probably save
you more or less trouble If you are"
He didn't get the kind of answer he
wanted; or any relating to the mine.
Unbuckling Jeanie's gun and handing
it to Daddy Hiram, I walked across to
where he was sitting, keeping a wary
eye on the hand which would have to
be the one to go after the weapon he
had once showed me hanging under his
left arm-pit.
Mr.. Twombly has just asked you
where his daughter is, and you haven't
told him." l gritted. you've got about
ten seconds in which to tell him all
you know, and after you've done it,
I'm going to trim you!"
He had scrambled to his feet when
he saw me coming, and, just as 1 ex-
pected, that watched right hand flicked
suddenly under his coat. At that I
rushed him and we mixed it promptly.
/ got hold of the gun hand before it
got to the pistol butt, and at the clinch
we were all over the place, each grap-
plirg for the underhold, and neither Of

Marquis of Queensberry Or other. Bull
lerton was a heavyweight; he had
probably fifteen pounds the advantage
of me in that direction; bu* after l
had got the thumb of my fee hand
upon a certain spot in his neck, it was
all over but the funeral.
Jehu! how he swore when I crum-
pied him, and took his gun away from
him, and slammed him down on a bed
Of broken stone and stuck a kree into
his breathing machinery. Fut he
couldn't do anything; the thrmb-jab
had fixed him. His head was Skewed
over to n side and he Couldn't
straighten it. I CROPPED aIounf until
l found that other paralyzing nerve
ganglia-the one at the joint Of the
third vertebra.
Listen to what he says, Daddy !" I
said to the old man who stood F,oking
on with the face Of a wooden image.
Then to Bullerton, who was now mere
ly q wad Of flesh gone flaccid under
the %torturing touch: "Tell Whit you
know, and all you know: and c:ell it

With a preliminary shrek he let 1t

words and phrases like a man In the

get under 1t and 1t grabbed and held
me. If you hadn't stopped the pumps
I'd have been a gone goose. 1 was just
about all in. as it was"
well, you found out the pumps are
suckin' all right, anyhow" he re-
marked.
'They sure are: you'd think so if
you'd been where I was" Then l be-
gan to recall some of those mixed and
mingled impressions I had gathered.
What kind of Soil is there under this
floor, Daddy?" l asked.
Huh" he snorted; what soil there
is on this here ledge you could mighty
near put in your eye, I reckon. 'Tain't
nothin' but rock, and blame hard rock,
at that"
THAT was my notion. But if the
shaft is In rock, why did they box l.
so strongly with timber? Surely there
wouldn't be any danger of a cave in
solid stone"
well, now, I'm dinged!" he re-
turned, musingly. Long as I've been
mOnkeyin round mines and such, 1t
never once come to me to wonder about
that"
Speaking of the wooden buIkheading
renewed that other impression, or rath-
er two of them one of having the feel
ing that | "a shut in a tight box at
the mOmen of the tiercest struggling,
and the other of fancying that I had
