Rodaine with all the hate and anger
and futile malice that a human being
a know typiied in his SCARED, hawk
like features. A thin, taloned hand
came upward, to double, leaving one
bony, curved finger extending in en-
phasis Of the words which streamed
from the slit Of a mouth:
Funny, weren't you? Played your
cheap jokes and got away with 'em.
But everybody amt like them fools I"
he pointed to the crowd just rounding
the rocks, Harry bobbing in the fore
ground. There's some that remem-
ber-and I'm n Of 'em. You've put
over your fake; you've had your
laugh; you've framed it so I'll be the
butt Of every %numbskull in Ohadi. But
just listen to this-just listen to this !"
he repeated, the harsh voice taking
on a tone that was almost q screech.
There's another time coming-and
that times going to be mine!"
And before Fairchild could retort,
he had turned and was scrambling
down the mountain side.

there has been a dark period In
his fathers life which, for almost
thirty years has cause1 him suffer-

document left by the elder Fair

Beamish tells Robert his claim. a
silver mine, is at Ohadl, thirty
eight miles from Denver. He also
warns him against a certain man,
"Squlnt" Rodaine, his fathers en-
envy. Robert decides TO go 10 Ohadi.
On the road 10 Ohadi from Denver
Falrchild assists a girl, apparently
In a frenzy OF haste, TO change a tire
on her auto. When she has left,
the sheriff and a posse appear, in
pursuit OF a bandit. Fairchild, be-
wildered, misleads them as to the
direction the girl had taken. At

For, coming toward them jauntily,
slowly, was a figure in beaming blue,
a Fedora on his head now, but with
the rest of his wardrobe intact, yellow,
bump-toed shoes and all. Someone
shouted. Everybody turned. And as
they did so, the figure fastened it's
pace. A moment later, a booming

Judges is like anybody else when
they're bedridden and only 'arf their
faculties working. The girl, so Mother
'Oward tells me, is about twenty now.
That made 'er just a little kid, and
mCtherless, when Rodaine got in is
work. She amt got a thing to sye.
And she loves 'er father. If e don't
die pretty soon, you'll see a weddingI"
"You mean-?"
She'll be Mrs. Maurice Rodalna
She loves 'er father enough to do it
after 'er Wills broken"
Again Robert Fairchild filed an oil
cup, again he tinkered about the
pumps. Then he Strengthened.
"How are we going tc work this
mine?" he asked shortly. Harry stared
at him.
low should l know? You own 1t -
Il don't mean that way. We were
hfty-fifty from the minute you showed
up. There never has been any other
thought in my mind
"Fifty-ffty2 You're making me a
blOated capitalist
II hope l will. Or rather, l hope
that you'll make such a thing possible
for both of US. But l was talking
about something else; are we going to
work hard and fight it out day and
night for awhile until we can get
things clear, or are we just going st 1t
by easy stages?"
Suppose" answered Harry after a
communication with his magic mus
tache, that we go dye and night til
we get the water out? 1t won't be
long. Then Wen ave to work to-
gether. You'll need my vast store Of
learning and enlightenment" he
grinned.
Good. But the pumping will last
through tomorrow night. Can you
take the night trick?"
"Sure. But why?"
II want to go to that dancer"
Harry whistled. Harry's big lips
spread into a grin.
"And she's got brown eyes!" he
chortled to himself. "And she's got
brown air. and she's a wye about 'er.
oh! She's got a wye about 'er! And
I'll bet she's going with Maurice Ro-
dame! Oh! She's got a wye about
err"
ooh, shut up!" growled Fairchild,
but he grinned in schoolboy fashion
as he said it. Harry poured half q can
Of oil upon the bearings of the chiv
wheel with almost loving tenderness.
"She's got a wye about 'er!" he
echoed. Fairchild suddenly frowned.
"Just what do you mean? That
she's in love with Rodaine and just"
SOW should / known But she's got
a wye about 'er!"
SWELL" the firm chin Of the other
man grew firmer, at won't be hard
to find out !"
And the next night he started upon
his Investigations. Nor did he stop to
consider that social events had been
few and far between for him, that his
dancing had progressed little farther
than the simple ability to move his
feet in unison to music. Years Of Of
fee and home, home and Office, had not
allowed Robert Fairchild the natural
advantages of the usual young man..
But he put that aside now; he was
going to that dance, and he was going

Harry's nose. The big Cornishman

perfectly, perfectly splendid.
You all know that"
And the bells of the reindeer
iingled az they went along through the
cold, crisp, clear winter air.
Santa Claus had just finished his
Christmas work. He had filled any
number of stockings; oh, so many,
many stockings. And he had trimmed
trees and arranged presents. Ora
cious, but he had been busy!
''And how he had loved it all. Every
bit of his work he had loved. He a
seen the children asleep and he had
left his work Of unpacking he pres
ents for many a look at his little
sleeping friends. And now he was
back and his ~reindeers were taking
him home. He was calling out stories
about the children to them as they
went along, little notes he had re
ceived, and some Of than had left
him little notes wishing him a Merry
Christmas, and that pleased him so
much.
He told the reindeer, too, of how
they looked and Of FieIen's hair tied
up so tightly in rags SO it would be
curly on Christmas day. And it had
looked quite quaint and pretty tied So
close to her head.
Then Santa Claus began to sing:
''Heigh-ho. ~heigh-ho, the Merry Christ
mas season.
My children have made me the King of q
Day,
Vita them as my subjects l can't help
but be gay!
l ciuckle and smile and l laugh and I
shout,
AS l think Of the numbers Of children
about!
l can't feel the cold with my heart so
well warmed.
HeiCh-ho, heish-ho, the Merry Christ
mas season."
The reindeer jlngled their bells
more than ever end Santa Claus be.
gan to sing again:
The Christmas and the stockings hang
ing up. heigh-ho, heigh-ho,
The letters and the messages. and every
thing just so,
All for Christmas Day, all for Christmas
Day,
And that's the very right way!
For Christmas Day is the day of the year
When we all are so merry and full OF
good cheer,
And Santa comes a-calling and il delights
him very much,
For then with all his children he keeps in
such close touch.
And children are the best Of all,
Santa Claus knows! Santa Claus knows!'
And so Santa Claus went on sing
ing, and singing and the reindeer
made music for his songs as they did
when he sang about his work during
the days and the nights before Christ
mas.
For they always wanted to make
music for Santa's songs and before he
started they wanted TO let him knew
that they were ready. And on his
way home they wanted to join in the
gay merriment Of the season.
