as the son OF former friend of his.
Funny how those things happen, isn't
it2"
Decidedly funnyr' was the caustic
rejoInder of the younger Rodaine.
Fairchild laughed, to cover the air Of
Intensity. He knew lnstinctively that
Anita Richmond was not talking to
him simply because she had sold him
a ticket to a dance and because her
father might have pointed him out.
He felt sure that there was something
else behind 1.-THE feeling of debt
which she owed him, feeling of COM
panonship engendered upon sunlit
road, during the moments of stress,
and the continuance of that meeting
in those few moments in the drug
store, when he had handed her back
her ten-dollar bill. She had called
herself cad then, and the feeling
that she perhaps had been abrupt
toward a man who had helped her out
of disagreeable predicament was
prompting her action now; Fairchild
felt sure of that. And he was glad of
the fact, very glad Again he laughed,
while Rodaine eyed him narrowly.
Fairchild shrugged his shoulders.
'I'm not going to believe this story
until It's proven to me-" came calmly.
"Who brought the news?"
Fairchild deliberately chose his
words:
"A tall, thin. ugly old man, with

A flush appeared on the other mans
face. Fairchild saw his hands con-
tract, then loosen.
you're trying to insult my father |"
'Your father?" Fairchild looked at
him blankly. "Wouldnt that be a
rather difficult job-especially when l
don't know him?"
You described him."
"And you recognized the descrlp-
tion."
Maurice! Stop it," The girl was
tugging at Rodaine's sleeve. .Don't
say anything more. I'm sorry" and
she looked at Fairchild with glance

like this could have come up"

him. Again Anita Richmond caught
his arm.
Maurice! Stop it! How could the
thing have been premeditated when he
didn't even know your father? Come
let's go on. The crowds getting
thicker"
The narrow-faced man obeyed her
command, and together they turned
out into the street to avoid the con.
stantly growing throng, and to veer
toward the picture show.
Carbide lights had begun to appear
along the street, as miners, summoned
by hurrying gossip mongers, came for
ward to assist in the search for the
missing man. High above the gen.
eral conglomeration Of voice could be
heard the cries of the instigator of
activities, Sam Herbenfelder, bemoan.
Ing the loss of his diamond, ninety per
cent of the cost Of which remained
to be paid. Hastily he shot through
the crowd. organizing the bucket bri-
gade and searching for news of the
Argonaut pump, which had not vet
arrived. Half-dIsgusted, Fairchild
turned and started up the hill, few
miners. their carbide lamps swinging
beside them. following him.

CHAPTER VIII

The news caused Fairchild to recoil
and stand gasping. And before he
could speak. new voice had cut in,
one full Of excitement, tremulous.

Drowned? Where's his body?"
How do know?" Squint Rodaine
turned upon his questioner. Guess
it's at the foot of the shaft All 1
saw was his hat. What're you so in
terested for?"
The questioner, small, goggle-eyed
and given to rubbing his hands, stared
moment speechlessly.
'He-he bought diamond from
me this morning-on the installment
plan!'
Rodaine smiled again in his crooked
fashion.
"That's your own fault, Sam," he
announced curtly. "If he's at the bot
tom Of the shaft, your diamonds there
too. All / know about 1t is that l
was coming down from the Silver
Queen when l saw this fellow go into
the tunnel of the Blue Poppy. He was
all dressed up, else / don't guess

him. But as 1t was, kind of stopped
to look, and seen it was Harry Har-

could see the water was all riled up,
and new hat was floating around on
top of it. That's all know. You can
do as you please about your diamond.
I'm just giving you the information"
He turned sharply and went on
then, while Sam the jeweler, the rest
of the loiterers clustered around him,
looked appealingly toward Fairchild.
"Whatll we dog" he walled.
Fairchild turned. 81 don't know

''Tell 'em Sam Herbenfsider sent you.

Another suggestion. still another.
Soon men began to radiate. each on a

spends a great part of his leisure time
in simply watching the crowd go by
hurried to join the excited throng.
Groups, en- route to the picture show,
decided otherwise and stopped to
learn of the excitement. The crowd
thickened. Suddenly Fairchild looked
up sharply at the sound Of a feminine
voice.

Harry Harkins got drowned" All
too willingly the news was dispersed.
Fairchild's eyes were searching now in
the half-light from the faint street
bulbs. Then they centered. It was
Anita Richmond, standing at the edge
Of the crowd, questioning miner,
while beside her was a thin. youthful
counterpart Of hard-faced father,
Maurice Rodaine. Just a moment of
queries, then the miners hand pointed
to Fairchild az ha turned toward her.

Gasoline Displaces
Kerosene as Chief
Petroleum Product

The uncertainties and rapidly chang
ing conditions of the oil industry are
in no way better illustrated, according
to the American Petroleum Institute,
than by the relative positions of gaso-
line and kerosene.
With the annual consumption OF
gasoline proceeding at the rate of more
than 1905 00, 900 barrels, it is difficult
to realize that this product was once
Il drug on the market. Before the adj
vent of the automobile, the heavy de-
mand for kerosene necessitated an out
put of gasoline greater than the mar
ket could absorb. Yet the total pro-
duction of gasoline in 1906 was only
about 5000, 900 barrels.
Now conditions are reversed. Case
line is the chief commercial product of
petroleum and the production thus far
this year amounts to 93.9S3, 900 bar
rels. while only "a, 115,Go0 barrels of
kerosene have been produced.

Gordon Campbell went into this dis
trict in 1920 and did considerable leas-

ed a pool which advanced quite a sum
of money that was utilized in the car

ly stages of development work.
Acquired Additional Territory
Stevenson devoted his entire atten-
ton during that year to the financing
of the Gordon Campbell company and
the Gordon Campbell Kelvin Syndi-
cate. IN addition to this work he was
engaged during the summer and fall in
company. with Lincoln and McGowan
in securing leases upon LANDS upon
various parts of the structure.
He afterward engaged in leasing in
his own name, and in a settlement be
tween himself and Gordon Campbell
which was completed in May, 1922, he
acquired much additional territory, Sc
curing most of the leases taken by the

Forgers Reap
Huge Harvest

one of the 'lfigher-ups' in an organiza-
ton that is conducted in most busi-
ness-like way. First, there is the
banker, who backs the gang with his
wealth and who usually has asso-
ciated with him an expert criminal
lawyer. Then there is the forger him.
self, who lives in some secluded out
of-the-way spot, where he has his
laboratory. There, with pens and inks
and acids and blotters strewn about
him, he sits and traces signatures or
obliterates writing with such q high
degree of delicacy and perfection that
even banking experts are deceived,
Since the forger is the brains of the
organization, he must be accorded the
greatest possible protection. Conse-
quently, there are the 'go-between'
men who hire thieves to rob the mail
boxes and presenters to put down
the forged checks. These men never
come in contact with the forger, and
the result is that the arrest of sub
ordinates seldom leads to his convic-
ton.
"And" Vulnerable Point.
Before the introduction of modern
protective measures, forgery and
alteration had become SO simple it
had almost ceased being called an art.
To raise q check from eight to eighty
dollars, all this master criminal had
to do was to add " to the t. and
tbay, opothor 1aro fo tho nunonro1c To
raise six to sixty, seven to seventy or
nine to ninety was just as easy, and
to change five to fifty or to tack some
other word to fifty, say 100 or 1.OOO
was equally simple. The word and
has always been a most vulnerable
cases of forgery it has been made to
call for thousands by writing 'thous'
before it.
For many years the forger had as
his greatest foe the designer of check
writing machines that shred the
amount in colors and at the same time
impregnate the paper with insoluble
Ink. The introduction of these de-
vices only hampered the crooks plans,
however, for he could still, with the
use of his acids, erase the payee line
and substitute for names the words
cash or bearer And, likewise, he
could change the number and date
lines.
"To meet this new move of TIE
check raiser a safety paper that could
not be erased Or alterated in any way
without detection was needed, and
by gradual evolution which led
nearer and nearer to perfection the
manufacturers have only recently
been able to produce a safety paper
which has thus far withstood all tests
of the criminal. Thus, the check
forger has again Leen defeated, and
check users who "today employ the
modern measures of protection af-
forded-the modern writing machine.
as we'll as the safety paper-have no
reason to fear that their checks will
be altered"
How to Be DoubIy Safe.
To make checks absolutely safe
against the depredations of forgers
and raisers, Mr.. Smith suggests the
following measures:
!. Write your checks on paper that
