her ten-dollar bill. She had called
herself a cad then, and the feeling
that she perhaps had been abrupt
toward man who had helped her out

prompting her action now; Fairchild
felt sure of that. And he was glad OF

Fairchlld deliberately chose his

A flush appeared on the other mans

The narrow-faced man obeyed her
command, and together they turned
out into the street to avoid the con-

TO be paid. Hastily he shot through
the crowd organizing the bucket bri-

turned and started up the hill, a few
miners, their carbide lamps swinging
beside them, following him.
