 CHAPTER XVI.

Tom Sanders, working on afternoon tower at Jackpot Number Three. the lean. tanned driller In charge of op- erations was wise with an uncanny Knowledge the newcomer could not fathom. For eight hours at stretch he stood on the platform and watched a greasy cable go slipping into the earth.
 This spelt romance to Jed Burns. superintendent Of operations, though he would never have admitted 1t.
 He was sitting sand through his fingers when Dave came. To Bob Hart. present as crawford's personal representative. he expressed an opin- lon
 Right soon now or never. Sand tastes, feels, looks, and smells like oil. But you can't ever be sure. An oil prospect is like woman. She will or she won't, you never can tell which. Then, if she does. she's liable to change her mind"
 Dave sniffed the pleasing. pungent odor of the crude oil sands. His friend had told him that Crawford 8 fate hung in the balance. Unless oil flowed very soon in paying quan- titles he was ruined mar.
 After his shift was over, he rode to town with Bob.
 Got to look for an engineer for the night tower" Hart explained IS he drew up in front of the Gusher saloon.
 Tho place hummed with the t,r- bulent life that drifts to every wild frontier on the boom. Faro dealers from the Klondike, poker dealers from Nome. roulette croupinrs rom I.eadville. were all here to reap the rich harvest to be made from inves- tors, field workers, and operators.
 Bob found his man at faro table. While the cards were being shuffled, he engaged him to home out next evening to the Jackpot properties.
 While Dave was standing close to the wall he caught sight of Steve Russell.
 The cowpuncher looked up and waved his hand.
 Bob joined them. After moments conversation Russell drew them to a corner.
 Say. you heard the news, Bob?"
 "I can tell you that better after know what it is,' returned Hart with grin.
 'The stage was held up at Cotton wood Bend this morning and robbed of s17.0oO. The driver was killed"
 Whose money was it?"
 Brad Steeman's pay roll and a shipment of gold for the bank"
 Any idea who did it?"
 "Tha's what I wanta tell you Two men were in the job. They're whis- perrin that Elm Crawford was one "
 "Crawford. Some of Steeman's fine work in that rumor, I'll bet. Tha's plumb foolish talk. What evil dence does he claim?" demanded Hart.
 "Em deposited ten thousand with the First National to pay off note he owed the bank. Rode into town right straight to the bank two hours after the stage got in. Then. too, seems one of the hold-ups called the

 "A plant" said Dave promptly.
 "They claim the second man was Dave here,'

 Must "a been about eleven"
 Lets Dave out. He was fifteen miles away and we can prove it by at least six witnesses"
 Good. I reckon Elm can put In an alibi, too"
 "I'll bet he can" Hart promised this with conviction.
 "Where is Crawford now?" asked Dave. He hasn't been arrested, has he?"
 Not yet. But he's bein' watched"
 "We'd better go to his house and talk with him." suggested Hart. Maybe he can give as good an alibi as you, Dave"
