CHAPTER VI

There was no specific reason why
Robert Fairchild, should follow Maui
Eice Rodaine and the young woman
who had been described to him as the
daughter Of Judge Richmond, who
ever he might be. Resentment was In
his heart-resentment that the family
Of Rodaine should be connected in
some way with the piquant, mysteri-
little person he had helped out Of
q predicament on the Denver road the
day before. And, to his chagrin, the
very fact that there was a connection
added a more sinister note to the e.
capade Of the exploded tire and the
pursuing sheriff; an he walked along,
his gaze far ahead, Fairchild found
himself wondering whether there
could be than mere coincidence
IN 1t all, whether she wal a part Of
the Rodaine schemes and the Rodaine
trickery, whether- r..

1t came to Fairchild then-the sen

someone who would hurry to his aid
when he needed him, the references

So he wal on the trail already !
Fairchild watched him pass, sneak
around the orner of the rocks, and
stand a moment in apparent bewilder-
ment as he surveyed the ground be-
fore him. A mumbling curse and he
went on, his cautious gait discarded,
walking briskly along the rutty, boul-
der-strewn road toward a gaping hole
In the hill, hardly a furlong away.
There he surveyed the ground care
fully, bent and stared hard at the
earth, apparently for a trace of foot

and looked %intently all about him.
Carefully he approached the mouth of

glance about him, hurried off up a
gulch leading away from the road.
into the hills. Fairchild lay and
watched him until he was out of sight,
and he knew instinctively that a sur
veyor would only cover beaten terri
tory now. Squint Rodaine, he felt
sure, had pointed out to him the Blue
Poppy mine.
Hurriedly he descended the rocks
once more to turn toward town and
toward Mother Towards boarding
house. He wanted to tell her what he
had seen and to obtain her help and
counsel.
Quickly he made the return trim.

A tremendous creature he was, with
red face and black hair which seemed
to scramble in gil directions at once
and with a mustache which appeared
to scamper in even more directions
than his hair. Fairchild was a large
man.; suddenly he felt himself puny
and inco%nsequential as the m%astodonic
thing before him swooped forward,
spread wide the big arms and then
caught him tight In them, causing the
breath to puff over his lips like the
exhaust of a bellows.
A release, then Fairchild felt him

pulled hard at his breath.

The eyes of Robert Fairchild mar
Fowed, and a desire to fight-a long

and all that belonged to him-surged
into his heart. But his voice, when he
spoke, was slow and suppressed.
"Squint Rodaine? Yes, l think i

Then, deliberately, he started up the
street, following at a distance the
man and the girl who walked before

again, Flooding upward, seemingly q
nan entirely bereft Of suspicion. A
quarter of a mile he went, q half.
Once. as the road turned beside q
great rock, he sought its shelter and
looked back. The figure still was fol-
lowing, running carefully now along
h bank of the stream in an effort
to gain as much ground as possible
before the return of the road to open
territory should bring the necessity Of
caution again.
A mile more, then, again In the shell

hiding place, watching anxiousfy from
his c~oncealment for evidences Of dis
covery. There were none. The shad-
ever came on, displaying more and
more caution as he approached the
rocks, glancing hurriedly about him
as he moved swiftly from cover to
cover. Ooser-cfoserthen Fairchild
repressed a gasp. The man was old,
almost white-haired, with hard, knot

Hindu Barber Kept Busy.

The Hindu haircutter is an individ-
ual of immense Importance in India,
and as his duties are many, he is
in constant demand. At birth the
Hindu barber is the man employed to
carry the eyentful news to the various
family relatives, whilst at funeral
he shaves the heads of the living
and the dead.
The Hindu haircutter has no shop,
and, unlike our BARRIERS, he displays
no poles, signs or symbols. He can
be seen strolling along near the ba-
Ears with a small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag.
At all religious rites he is to be
observed; he bores the girls ears
and noses for the various rings which
are worn; and, in fact, the busy Hindu
barber will undertake almost any
surgical operation.
Besides births and deaths, he at
tends marriages. at a wedding this
busy barber is "best man."

Ancient SundiaIs.

The Greeks were extraordinary
adopts at sundialing, as were also the
Egyptians and the Arabians, and one
specially interesting thing about these
ancient dials is that it is always pos
sible to tell, approximately, where
they were made Every sundial, to
be accurate, has to be made for the
latitude of the place where it is to be
set up. Thus, a sundial discovered at
Pompeii in 1862 was one designed for
the latitude of Memphis, and from this
1t has been deduced that it was made
by an Egyptian craftsman, possibly In
the school Of Alexandria.
