only given enough time, we'll whip him. I'm going home to bed now ; I've got to be up early in the morning and get hold of Farrell. Your case comes up at court"
 And I'm up in a 'ospital!" Which fact the court the next morn ing recognized, on the testimony of the interne, the physician and the day nurses of the hospital. to the extent of continuance until the January term in the trial of the case. A thing which the court further recognized was the substitution of five thousand dollars in cash for the deeds of the Blue Pop py mine as security for the bailee. And with this done, the deeds to his mine safe in his pocket, Fairchild went to the bank. placed the papers behind the great steel gates of the safety de- poslt vault, and then crossed the street to the telegraph office. A long mes- sage was the result. and a money or der to Denver that ran beyond hun dred dollars. The instructions that went with 1t to the biggest florist in town were for the most elaborate floral design possible to be sent by ex- press for Judge Richmond's funeral minus a card denoting the sender. Fol lowing this, Fairchild returned to the hospital. only to find Mother Howard taking his place beside the bed of Harry. One more place called for his attantfap-tho r,ipa
 Health returned slowly to the big Cornishman; it would be a matter of weeks before he could be the genial, strong giant that he once had repre- sented. And in those weeks Fairchild was constantly beside him.
 Nor that there were no other things which were represented in Roberts desires-far from 1t. Stronger than ever was Anita Richmond in Fair child's thoughts now. and 1t was with avidity that he learned every scrap of news regarding her. as brought to him by Mother Howard. Duly he heard that Maurice Rodaine had told friends that the passing of the Judge had caused only. a slight postponement in their marital plans.
 Finally, back to his normal strength once more, Harry rose from the arm chair by the window of the boarding house and turned to Fairchild.
 "We're going to work tonight" he announced calmly.
 "When? Fairchild did not believe he understood. Harry grinned. ''To- night. I've taken a notion. Rodaine II expect us to work in the daytime. We'll fool i'm. We'll leave the guards on in the daytime and work at night. And what's more, we'll keep a guard on at the mouth of the shaft while we're inside, not to let nobody down. Seer"
 Fairchild agreed. He knew Squint Rodaine was not through. And ne knew also that the fight against the man with the blue-white scar had only begun. The cross-cut had brought wealth and the promise of riches to Fairchild and Harry for the rest of their lives. But it had not freed them ITOul tue udlScT Ol Ouc ludIl-d Lldu who was willing to do anything in the world, 1t seemed, to achieve his pur- pose. Harry's suggestion was a good one.
 Well, then Harry ran. to do much as Fairchild had done, to chuckle and laugh and toss the heavy bits of ore about. to stare at them in the light of his carbide torch. and finally to hurry into the new stope which had been fashioned by the hired miners in Fair child's employ and stare upward at the heavy vein of riches above him.
 Wouldn't 1t knock your eyes out" he exclaimed, beaming. "That veins certainly five feet wide"
 And two hundred dollars to the ton," added Fairchild. laughing. 'No wonder Rodaine wanted It."
 "Tll sye sol" A long time of con- gratulatory celebration. then Harry led the way to the far end of the great
