CHAPTER TX

Fairchild went back into the tunnel,
spun the nywheels Of the gasoline en-
gines and started them revolving
again. that the last Of the water might
be drained from the shaft before the
pumps must be returned to their own
ers.
Several hours passed. then Harry
returned. minus his gorgeous clothing
and his diamond ring. dressed in min
Ing costume now. with high leather
boots into which his trousers were
tucked. and carrying carbine lantern,
Dolefully he looked ut the vacant I'm
ger where once diamond had spar
killed.. Then he chuckled.
"Sam took II back" he announced.
"And took part Of the money and
paid II out for rent on these pumps.
We can keep 'em as long as we want
'em. It's only costing about fourth
of what II might Of. Drowning's
worth something" he laughed again.
Fairchild Joined him. then sobered.
ut brought Rodaine out Of the
bushes" he said. "Squint threatened
us after they'd hauled you down town
on the rail"
Harry winked jovially.
"Ain't II just what expected? It's
better that wye than to ave i'm snoop-
in around"
They chuckIed together then; 1t was
something to know that they had not
only forced Squint Rodaine to show
his enmity openly. but Il was some
thing more to make him the lnstru-
ment OF helping them with their work.
Harry looked down the hole. stared
intently at nothing, then turned to the
rusty hoist.
"'Ere,s the thing we've got to fix
up now. This ere chiv wheels all
out Of gear"
"What makes your face so redT
Fairchlld asked the question as the
be-mustached vlsage of Harry came
nearer to the carbide. Harry looked
up.

and letting 'er think l got drownded
But 'ow was to known"
Fairchild absontly examined the en-
gines and pumps, supplying water t
the radiators and filling an oil cuI
or two. Then he turned swiftly, volc
Ing that which was uppermost In hi
mind
when you were here before, Harry
did you know n Judge RlchmondT
"Yeh." Harry paved his mustach
and made u greasy. black mark on hi
face. but don't think ! want 4

"Why not?"
"'Es mixed up with the Rodalnes.
How much?'
"1hey own Initials ALL"

to stay there as long as the music
sounded, or rather as long as the
brown eyes. brown hair and laughing
lips VI Anita Richmond were apparent
to him, What's more. he carried out
his resolution.
Again and again Farehid's eyes
searched The crowds, the multicolored,
OverdreSscd costumes Of the women,
the old-fashloned affairs with which
many Of the men had arrayed them
selves. ranging all the way from high
leather boots to frock suits and stove
pipe beaver hats. From one face to
another his gaze went on; then he
turned abst1ctedly to the long line
OF tables. with their devotees OF keno
and bought Il paddle.
From far away the drone of the call
err sounded In voice familiar, and
Fnirchild looked up to see the narrow
eyed, Scared face OF squirt Rodaine,
who was officiating at the wheel. He
lost interest In the game; lackadais-
ically he placed the buttons on their
squares as the numbers were shouted.
finally to brush them all aside and de-
sert the game. His hatred Of the Ro-
daines had grown to point where
he could enjoy nothing with which
they were connected. where he de-
spised everything with which they
had the remotest afiiliation---excepting
Of course, one person. And us he rose.
Fairchild saw that she was just enter
Ing the dance hall.
Only a moment he hesitnted. Maui
rice Rodaine. sttired In a mauve frock
suit and the Inevitable accompanying
beaver. had stopped 10 talk to some
one Mt the door. She stood alone, look
ing about the hall. laughing and nod
ding-and then she looked ut him I
FaIrchild did not wait.
From the platform al the end Of the
blk room the fiddles had begun to
squeak, and the caller was shouting
his announcements. Couples began to
line up on the floor. The callers voice
grew louder:
"One more couple--then the dance
starts. One more couple, lady an q
gent One more"
"Plcasev Robert Fairchild had
reached her aud was holding forth his
hind She looked up In half surprise
then demurred.
"But I don't know these old dances
"Neither do Tor any other, for thai
matter" he confessed with sudder
holiness. "But does that make an,
difference Please!''
She glanced quickly toward tn
door. Maurice Rodsine was still talk

Gfbney's arms in transport Of joy. MT. Gibney, for it was indeed he, pounded Captain Scraggs on the back with one great hand while with the other he crushed the slippers fingers to pulp, the while he called on all the powers of darkness to witness that never in all his life had he received such a pleasant surprise.
 It was indeed a happy moment. All the old animosities and differences were swallowed up in the glad hand clasp with which MT. Gfbney greeted his old shipmate of the ,green-pea trade. Scraggs took him below at once and they pledged each others health in steaming kettle of grog, while the Maggie, once more on her courSe.- rolled south toward Descanso bay.
 Well. I'll be keel-hauled and skull draggedl !" said Captain Scraggs, pro- ducing a box of two-for-a-quarter cigars and handing it to MT. Gibney. "Gib, my dear boy, wherever have you been these last three years?"
 Everywhere" replied MT. Gibney. '.I have been all over, mostly in Pana- ma and the Gold coast. For two years I've been navigatin' officer on the Co lombian gunboat Bogota. When I was a young feller did hitch in the navy and become a firSt-c1ass gunner, and snen went to sea in the merchant ma- r7ne, and got my mates license. and when I flashed my credentials on the president of the United States of Co., lombia he give me a job at ''dos cienti pesos Oro' per.

confidential envoy of the fnSurrecto junta in Los Angeles. Captain Scraggs
 was to look 10 this man for orders and
 to obey him implicitly, as upon this depended the success of the expedi- tfon. This agent of the insurrecto forces would pay him the balance of
 five thousand dollars due him immedf- ately upon discharge of the cargo at Descanso bay. There was a body of insurrecto troops encamped at Megano
 rancho, a mile from the beach, and
 they would have a barge and small
 boats in readiness to lighter the cargo.
 Scab Johnny explained that he had promised the crew double wages and bonus of a hundred dollars each for the trip. Don Manuel Garcia Lopez paid over the requisite amount of cash and half an hour later the Maggie was steaming down the bay on her perilous mission.
 The sun was setting as they passed out the Golden gate and swung down the south channel. and with the wind on her beam. the aged Maggie did nine knots. Late in the afternoon of the following day she was off the Santa Barbara channel, and about midnight she ran in under the lee of Point Dune and lay to. The mate hung out the green signal lights, and in about an hour Captain Scraggs heard the sound of oars grating in rowlocks. A few minutes later a Stentorian voice hailed them out of the darkness. Captain ScraggS had a Jacobs ladder slung over the side and the mate and two deckhands hung over the rail with lan- terms, lighting up the surrounding sea feebly for the benefit of the lone ad- ,venturer who sat muff1ed in great coat in the stern of a small boat rowed by two men. There was a very slight sea running, and presently the men in the small boat, watching their oppor- tunity by the ghostly light of the lan- terms. ran their fraiI craft in under the lee of the Maggie. The figure in the stern sheets leaped on the instant, caught the Jacobs ladder, climbed nimbly over the side, and swore heart fly in very good English as his feet struck the deck.
 What's the name of this floating coffin ?'' he demanded in chafn-Iocker voice. It was quite evident that even in the darkness, where her many de- fleets were mercifully hidden, the Mag gie did not suit the special envoy of the Mexican insurrectos.

 "Scraggsy i' roared the special en- voy. "Scra ggsy, for a thousand! And l the old Maggie of all boats Scraggsy, i old tarpot, your finl Duke me, you 1 doggoned old salamander! ?!

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS

There was one rousing good time had last Monday evening at the K. of P. Castle.
 Bro. Carl LaSalle called the lodge to order promptly at $ o'clock. There was a large attendance. The. general rout- inc of business was disposed of in regular order, after which the Chancellor Commander. called on the members to give some talks.
 Bros. Jim Hudson, Jerrie Lee and Frank Udine respond ed promptly. Each one made several interesting talks on the K. of P. Lodge and other topics.
 Bro. Lee with his silvery tongue and golden wits had the audiance in great uproar of laughter.
 Bros. Hudson and Udine made some real and interesting talks.
 Everyone was enjoyine the evening immensely, when the unexpected happened. Bro. Robert Burns appeared at the door and asked to be let in out of the cold world for it was get ting late. He was made vel come and was called an for a good night speech. When Pro. Burns finished his talk, about fifteen minutes later. everyone in the room was she'd ing tears.
 As soon as Bro. Carl could talk, the meeting was dismiss ed.
 A large crowd is expected next Monday evening and good time is looked forward to.

 The old joyous days of the green pea trade were gone forever. and many a night as Captain Scraggs paced the deck of the ferryboat, watching the ferry tower loom into view, or the scattered lights along the Alameda shore, he thought longingly of the old Maggie, laid away, perhaps forever, and slowly rotting in the muddy waters of the Sacramento. And he thought of MT. Gibney, too, away off under the trOpic stars, leading the care-free life of a real sailor at last, and of Bar tholomew McGuffey. imbibing "pulque" in the "cantina" of some disreputable cafe. Captain Scraggs never knew how badly he was going to miss them both until they were gone, and he had nobody to fight with except Mrs. Scraggs and when Mrs. Scraggs (to quote Captain Scraggs) slipped her cable" in her forty-third year Captain Scraggs felt singularly lonesome and in a mood to accept eagerly any devfltry that might offer.
 Upon a night, which happened to be Scraggs' night off, and when he was particularly lonely and inclined to drown his sorrows in the Bowhead saloon, he was approached by Scab Inhn latter's dingy office for the purpose of discussing what Scab Johnny guard edly referred to as a proposition"
 Upon arrival at the office, Captain Scraggs was introduced to a small, ferce-looking gentleman of tropical ap- pearance, who owned to the name of Don Manuel Garcia Lopez. Scab John ny first pledged Captain Scraggs to absolute secrecy, and made him swear by the honor of his mother and the bones of his father not to divulge word of what he was about to tell him.
 Scab Johnny was short and to the point. He stated that, as Captain Scraggs was doubtless aware, if he perused the daily papers at all, there was revolution raging in Mexico His friend, Senor Lopez, represented the under-dogs in the disturbance, and was ANXIOUS to secure snip ana a nervy sea captain to land shipment of arms in Lower California. It ap- peared that at a sale of condemned army goods held at the arsenal at Benicia, Senor Lopez had, through Scab Johnny, purchased two thousand single-shot Springfield rifles that had been retired when the militia regiments took up the Krag. The Krag in turn having been replaced by the modern magazine Springfield, the old single shot Sprfngfields. with one hundred

WILLIAMS HORSE WINS
 FAME AT TIA JUANA

Clover Juna the racing horse owned by H. D. (Hank) Ritter added another first to his string of prizes this week. Taken all together, the record this horse has made this season puts him among the fastest at the races. In all he has had 23 starts. In these he won firsts. 9 seconds. and 3 thirds. This puts him in the money eighteen times out Of 23. 1t is no wonde~ that Hank looks prosperoos and happy of late.
 Clover has been run during the past season by John Blare an experienced horseman. Dur ing last year he was in charge of a poorer horseman and he was lame a good part of the season so that he did not show his real worth.
 MT. Ritter expects to send his horse east this summer prob ably starting in Maryland and returning by a northern route taking in all of the big state fairs on the way.
 Many Williams people will remember Clover as the young colt reared here by MT. Ritter assisted by Charles Wade. He is a true mountain horse, foaled and reared here. He is the first mountain horse to rise to any such heights of fame.
