The station was strangely deserted.
Only the bawling bus man for the

Fairchild went on, to turn into de-
serted street,-a street where the
doors Of the stores had been left open
and the owners gone. Everywhere it
was the same; it was as If Ohadi sud-
denly had been struck by some catas-
trophe which had wiped out the whole
population. Only now and then hu-
man being appeared, few persons
left behind at the banks, but that was
about all. Then from far away. up
the street leading from Kentucky gulch,
came the sound Of cheering and shout

gesticulating, vociferous men, who

stood for the bonanza Of the silver

CHAPTER XIV

Had It 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. It 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 hum
dred dollars ton. It meant every
thing for Ohadi; it 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 Ohadi, be
the lucky men to find silver bonanza,
that they might faunt it 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 any
difficulty which might arise in the fu-
ture7 II hurt Fairchild, 1t sickened
him. He saw now that his enemies
were more powerful than ever. And
for 2 moment he almost wished that
he had yielded down there in Denver,
that he had not given the ultimatum to
the. greasy Barnham, that he had ac-
cepted the offer made him-and gone
on, out Of the fight forever. /
Anital What would It mean to her7
Already engaged, already having given
her answer to Maurice Rodaine, this
now would be an added incentive for
her to follow her promise. It would
mean q possibility Of further argument
with her father, already too weak
from illness to find the means of
evading the insidious pleas OF the two
men who had taken his money and
made him virtually their slave. The
future looked black for Robert Fair
child. Slowly he walked past the
happy. shouting crowd and turned up
Kentucky gulch toward the ill.fated
Blue Poppy.
The tunnel opening looked more for
lorn than ever when he sighted 1t. ..
bleak, staring, single eye which
seemed to brood over it's own misfor
tunes, q dead, hopeless thing which
never had brought anything but disap-
pointment. "A choking came into Fair
child's throat. He entered the tunnel
slowly, ploddlngly; with tagging mus
cles he hauled up the bucket which
told Of Harry's presence below, then
slowly lowered himself into the re-
cesses Of the shaft and to the drift
leading to the stope. where only few
days before they had found that
.gaunt. whitened, haunting thing which
had brought with It q new misfortune.

GATHER IN wheat
Farmers Of Western Canada Re-
joice at Harvest.
Largest Crop In the History of the
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sIdered Assured.

Reports Of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate. az they are made at the
end Of the season, when the crop 10
fully harvested. would indicate q
yield Of between 35O.OOO,OOO and 37O,.
0OOO 900 bushels from a total acreage
OF 21,471,O0O. This Is the greatest
yield In the history Of the provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies Of all public bodies-rail.
ways and governments. It required
the assistance. outside of that locally
employed. Of upward of 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by trainloads. and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed In
the different districts. under the direc-
tion of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, Of the needs.
AS a result Of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop In the history
Of the West was successfully harvest
ed. The threshing reports show that
almost universally, In every section
Of the country. the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking. The province of Mani.
toba was the first to complete thresh-
Ing, very few fields being left at the
time Of writing.
Portions of Saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped crop that
largely made up for past disappoint-
ments.
In Alberta there was strange con-
dition. In the central district, always
noted for Its heavy yields, there was
considerable Of falling off. Instead
Of the IS and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to IL, while In
southern portions, where drought had
affected the country for some time
past, there were exceptionally high
yields.
Reports Of individual yields in diff
ferent portions of the three provinces
lead to the impression that when
threshing returns are in there will be
found to have been n much better crop
than at present seems possible. Some
Of these returns give individual farm
ers as getting us high as As bushels
others IS, and SO on, while in some
districts, where In early August not
more than or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 18 bushels are re-
corded, the improvement having been
brought about by rains that worked
marvels in the appearance Of the crop.
And then, too, instead Of the head
carrying four rows, most Of them car
ried six rows, and filed to the top.
which, to those who know, means at
least fifty per cent more.
The rye crop of all Western Can.
ada is exceptionally good; the oats
generally good and barley fair.
The weather at the time of writing
is threatening for rainy spell, which
may interfere with threshing, and pro-
long 1t somewhat.
Most of the newcomers from the
States have excellent crops. During
August, the trains to Western Canada
carried hundreds Of capitalists and
others Interested in Western Canada
land, going up to take care of the crop
that they had arranged to have put
in on the land they owned. Very few
Of them will be dlsappointed.-Adver.
