Since the truce was thus definitely
ended, we retired into our fortress and
put up the bars. AS we were closing

thought the two old-fashIened guns
and Jeanie's pistol promised a poor
chance for an effective defense; but
Daddy Hiram proceeded to show me
that we had at least one other re-
source. In the mine stores Left behind
by the former operating company were
two boxes Of sixty-psr-cent dynamite,
with fuse and caps, and Daddy pointed
out that there were good possibilities
