tinued, saying, in the language OF
my ancestors. the mystic signs
said: Save mankind from the curse
of too much gold-cause the gold
to sink back whence it came.
But who are your Ruth asked.
The White Rider pulled the mask
and Arab-like headdress from his
head To eyeryone's amazement,
Standing Bear stood before them.
When Ruth had recovered, she ask
ed: But why did you pose as the
White Rider"
Because l could not serve you
to my utmost as Standing Bear,
came the smiling reply, therefore
became the White Rider"
And now" finished Standing

II hardly think she can," said
Phil, stepping forward. You see,
she has consented to be Mrs. Phil
Stanton, and being Chieftainess
would-would rather interfere with
our home life. Isn't that about it,
dear?" he asked, turning to the
girl.
With smiling face. Ruth came

with a look of deep sincerity and
sympathy. II want to apologize TO

Henley. 1t was not my fault. and
II have discharged him and his
hangers-on- From now on we will
have no more trouble, and / hope
you viii return to the ranch and
make 1t your home as long as you
like"
For a moment Ruth was suspi-
cious, but her own unselfish dispo-
sition got the better OF her. Per-
haps LOOMS had broken with Gray
Wolf, she thought, and had decided
to join the ranks of the Buffaloes.
Consequently, she told him of the
fact that Standing Bears return
would decide the fate of the pool
Loomis could hardly wait TO get
outside the canyon again. Finally
he saw his chance, and slipping
from the assembly room he joined
Julia Wells and the rest of the
party. Henley must watch for
Standing Bear tonight" he told her.
He must capture him and bring
him TO the ranch. We must force
the location of the cave from him. y
Henley received full instructions,
and that night found him at the
entrance of the canyon waiting for
Standing Bear. Although the In
dian put up a splendid fight, the
cowpunchers were too much for
him, and he was led off. prisoner.
LOOMS had fingered in the vicin-
ity of the CANYON to learn the next
move of Ruth and her friends. He
chuckled with delight as he heard
of the CONSERVATION wrought by
the disappearance of Standing
Bear. The next news reaching his
ears was not so pleasing. Ruth
Randolph had decided to give the
pool to the Buffaloes, in case Stand
ing Bear was not heard from. He
hurried to Gray Wolf and told him

ing. with Loomis and Julia Wells
by his side.
Tonight, at the rise of the
moon,'' he said solemnly, you are
to decide the ownership Of the
Golden Pool But you will remain
here until after moonrise, and your
failure to appear will mean that the
wealth will be equally divided be-
tween the Blue Hawks and Buff
faloes."
you would not dare to detain
mel" exclaimed the girl, her eyes
flashing. And although she storm
ed and ragged, she was made pris-
oner, with Crouching Mole left on
guard.
Meanwhile, the White Rider had
arrived at the Cave of the Trident.
He saw the Indian writing on the
walls, and seemed both pleased and
amazed at the message it contain
ed. He hesitated, then decided not
to act at that moment He sought
Moonlight, who told him of Ruth's
disappearance.
''If the Princess White Eagle is
found in time to render judgment, Z"
he told her, light the signal fire
and 1 will know. But should / NOT
see your signal light, I will fu $Ill
the destiny OF the Golden Pool as
it is written on wall of the cave"
The White Rider left the girl and
disappeared toward the entrance of
the cave with a tool kit and large
coil OF fuse. Then he set to work
drilling a hole in the floor Of the
passageway.
In the meantime, Ruth was won
dering why help had not arrived.
Suddenly, Crouching Mole, on
guard, turned to her and said, IF
I will tell Phil Stanton where you
are hidden, will you promise to
make me the chief of the Blue
Hawks?" The Indian had spoken
wisely. He saw the. end of Gray
VOLTS regime coming, and he also
saw the opportunity to gain the
good will of his Chieftainess. The
girl promised, and Crouching Mole
departed.
The hour of judgment had ap-
preached and all the Indians of
both clans had assembled at the
pool. The place was extremely pic
turesque, the background. the Gold

en- Pool-countless tons OF pure,
molten gold, forever seething and
bubbling.
AS the moment arrived, the White
Rider waited at the top of the hill
to see the fire signal of Moonlight.
He was not aware that Henley had
been placed on guard and that the
Indian girl had been unable to get
outside of the gate to give the sig
nal. He waited as long as possihie
and then rode madly toward the
canyon.
dent, the White Rider placed sticks

and galloped furiously away.
Considerable excitement was
caused at the Golden Pool as the
Indians saw Ruth and Phil ap-
preaching. Gray Wolf glanced at
Loomis in dismay. AS the girl
reached the edge of the pool and
stood up for silence she was &C
corded a trem endouS ovation by
the Indians. The White Rider had
heard the shouts, and in consterna-
ton, he realized that he must now
save the Golden Pool, as the girl
had arrived to give her decision -
but it was too late. For his own
safety, he was forced to fee, as the
fuse burned closer to the charge.
81 hereby give the Golden Pool
to the BuffaloesI" he heard Ruth
shout as he fed.
Amid the excitement of the an
nouncement, there was a sudden
terrific explosion in the Golden
Pool. Steam, smoke and molten
gold rose high above the crater
then sank back again The entire
gathering crowded to the edge of
the pool, unable to understand the
phenomena. With horror, they saw

on the rim, sway and fall into the

into the bottomless abyss with the
last of gold as it sank to oblivion.
When the silence was broken,
and the Indians began to give vent
to their excitement, they turned
and saw the White Rider with
Moonlight in his saddle, riding to-
ward Ruth and Phil.

is fulfilled" he announced. The
gold has returned to the earth"

the Blue Hawks was furious.
I'VE must prevent the appearance
of Princess White Eagle at the rem
dering of Judgment" he said. I'm
that case the pool will be equally
divided"
Returning to the ranch, Gray
Wolf and Loomis were further an
gered to learn of the escape OF
Standing Bear. He had called in
Henley and promised to lead him
to the Cave of the Trident Hen
ley, unsuspecting, had freed the In
dian, only to have the chief of the
Buffaloes spring upon him and es-
cape from the ranch on a horse be-
fore Henley could oyertake him.
Meanwhile, as Ruth had received
no news from StandingBear, she de-
cided to seek the aid of the White
Rider. Phil Stanton insisted upon
accompanying her, and the two
young people started out for the
adobe hut where Moonlight told
them the mysterious one could
probable be found. When they ar
rived, Ruth was disappointed to
learn that he had not been there
for several days. However, her
disappointment was short lived, for
as they turned their horses about
to return to the canyon, they be-
held the White Rider coming to-
ward them.
Ruth approached him joyfully
and told of her predicament. THE
secret of how to dispose of the
Golden Pool is contained in the
Cave of the Trident. but Standing
Bear is the only one who knows
where the cave is. If he is not
found, l must give judgment with
out the proper knowledge, and in
that case. 1 shall give the pool to
the Buffaloes."
II will try to find Standing
Bear" the White Rider answered.
"If 1 fail, 1 will search for the cave
myself"
When the day of the judgment
arrived, and all the Indians of both
tribes were assembled in the viii
lage street talking excitedly about
the outcome, Crouching Mole ap-
peared before Ruth and said that
Gray Wolf desired her presence i'm
mediately. She followed the cour-
Ter and found the chieftain wait

he picked up Ruth and stumbled
in, just as the pivoted rock de-

A few moments later. they were
both before Stone Ear in the as
sembly room. Ruth presented the
old squaw with the Sacred Wam-
pun and the amulet, and waited
.mpatiently to learn the secret OF
the Golden Pool. Stone Ear stud
led the tokens for a moment, and
then, through the Indian youth,
who interpreted her sign language,
she spoke:
and follow the signs of the trident

of the cave you will find writing on
the wall which will tell you how
you should dispose of the Golden
Pool. But the location of the Cave

At that moment, they were all
