Again the thrill Of a new thing
went through Robert F%airchild's veins,
something he never had felt until
twelve hours before; again the urge
for strange places, new scenes, the
fire Of the hunt after the hidden
wealth Of s~ilver-seamed hills. Robert
Fairchild's life had been a Flooding
thing Of books and accounts, Of high
desks which as yet had failed to stoop
his shoulders, of stuffy offices which
had been thwarted so far in their grin
at his lung power; the long walk in
the morning and the tired trudge
homeward at night. But the recoil
had not exerted itself against an office
cramped brain, a dusty ledger-flled
life that suddenly felt itself CRYING
out for the free. open country, without
hardly knowing what the term meant.
Old Beamish caught the light in the
eyes, the quick contraction of the
hands, and smiled.

'Sissie' Larsen, Swede, left town late
one night for Cripple Creek-and that
they never came back. That's the
story they'll tell you. Agree with it.

In spite Of himself, Fairchild found

rocking down the mountain side,

CHAPTER III

Three weeks later, Robert Fairchild
sat in the smoking compartment Of
the Overland Limited, looking at the
Rocky mountains in the distance. In
his pocket were a few hundred dol
lars; in the bank in Indianapolis a
few thousand, representing the final
proceeds of the sale of everything that
had connected him with a rather
dreary past. Out before him
Three weeks had created a meta
morphosis in what had been a plod-
ding, matter-of-fact man with dreams
which did not extend beyond his led
gers and his gloomy home-but now a
man leaning his head against the win
dow of a rushing train. staring ahead
toward the Rockies and the rainbow
they held for him. Back to the place
where his father had gone with
dreams aglow was the son travelling
now-back into the rumpled noun
tains where the blue haze hung low
and protecting as though over mystic
ries and treasures which awaited one
man and one alone. It thrilled Fair
child, it caused his heart to tug and
pull-nor could be tell exactly why,

must plunge straight into them, they
drew away again. a though through

the frogs and switches as it made its

this a word in the holder, harsher

Robert Fairchild fixed and staring, a
word which spelled books of the past
and evil threats of the future, the
single, ominous word:

YOUR FATHER"
For a long moment Robert Fairchild
stood staring at the letter, his heart
pounding with excitement, his hands
grasping the foolscap paper as though
with a desire to tear through the
shield which the written words had
formed about a mysterious past and
disclose that which was so effectively
hidden. So much had the letter told
and yet so little! Dark had been the
hints of some mysterious, intangible
thing, great enough in it's horror and
it's f~ar-reaching consequences to cause
death for n who had known of 1t
and a living panic for him who had
perpetrated it. In that super-calm-
ness which accompanies great agita-
tion, Fairchild folded the paper,
placed it in its envelope, then slipped
it into an inside pocket. A few steps
and he was before the safe once more
and reaching for the second envelope.
Heavy and bulky was this, filed
with tax receipts, with plats and blue
prints and the reports Of surveyors.
Here was an assay slip. bearing figures

could not understand, then a legal doc

the age-yellowed envelope to return
the papers to their resting place. But
he checked his motion invoIuntarily
and for a moment held the envelope
before him, staring at 1t with wide
eyep. Then, as though to free by the
