rose, STROBE TO the door. unlocked 1t,
and stamped down the hall He had
taken snap Judgment. but in his heart
he felt that he was right. What was
more, he was as sure as he was sure
of life itself that Anita Richmond

had said that the Blue Poppy mine
was good property and that It was

had been placed on it. How did he

Rodaine was the one man who could

the man who had held up the Old
Times dance, and Anita now was en-
gagged to marry him. Judge Richmond
had been a friend of Thornton Fair
child; could 1t have been possible that
this friendship might have entailed
the telling of secrets which had not
been related to anyone else? The
matter of the finding of the skeleton
could be handled easily, Fairchild

CHAPTER XIV

Had 1t been any one else. Fairchild
would have shouted for happiness and
Joined the parade. AS It was. he
stood far to one side, silent, grim
figure watching the miners and towns
people passing before him. leaping
about in their happiness, calling to
him the news that he did not want to
hear:
The Silver Queen had "hit." The
faith of Squint Rodaine. maintained
through the years. had shown his
perspicacity. 1t was there; he al
ways had said 1t was there, and now
the strike had been made at last, lead
silver ore, running as high as two hun
dred dollars ton. 1t meant every
thing for Ohadi 1t meant that mining
would boom now, that soon the hills
would be clustered with prospectors,
and that the little town would blossom
as result Of possessing one Of the
rich silver mines Of the state.
Fairchild felt cheap. He felt de-
feated. He felt small and mean not
to be able to join the celebration.
Squint and Maurice Rodaine possessed
the Silver Queen; that they, Of all
persons, should be the fortunate ones
was bitter and hard to accept. Why
should they. of every one In Ohadl, be
the lucky men to find silver bonanza,
that they might flaunt 1t before him,
that they might increase their stand
Ing In the community, that they might
raise themselves to a pedestal in the
eyes OF every one and thereby rally
about them the whole town In anv
difhculty which might arise In the fu
ture? 1t hurt Fairchild, 1t slckened
him. He saw now that his enemies
were more powerful than ever. And
for moment he almost wished that
he had yielded down there In Denver,
that he had not given the ultimatum tn
the greasy Barnham. that he had ac.
cepted the offer made hIm-and gone
on, out Of the fight forever
Anita! What would 1t mean to her

where to go. But one thing was GER
tain: the Blue Poppy mine was worth
money. Once before an offer had
come. and now that he thought Of It,
Fairchild felt almost certain that 1t
had been from the same source. That
was for fifty thousand dollars. Why
should the value have now Jumped to
four times its original figures? 1t was
more than the adventurer could en-

back to his hotel and to sleep.
