would have shouted for happiness and
Joined the parade. AS II was, he

dred dollars ton. II meant every
thing for Ohadi: II meant that mining
would boom now, that soon the hills
would be clustered with prospectors.
and that the little town would blossom
as result Of possessing one Of the
rich silver mines of the state.

feated. He felt small and mean not

that they might increase their stand

raise Themselves To pedestal In the
eyes OF every one and thereby rally

were more powerful than ever. And
for moment lie almost wished that
he had yielded down there In Denver.
that he had not given the ultlmatum to

future looked black for Robert Fair

happy, shouting crowd and turned up
Kentucky gulch toward the Inflated
Blue Poppy.
The tunnel opening looked more for
lorn than ever when he sighted II,
bleak, staring, single eye which
seemed to brood over its own misfor

never had brought anything but disap-

Chllds throat. He entered the tunnel
