CHAPTER XVI

II was as though shades of the past
had come to life again, to repeat in
the Twentieth century a happening of
the Nineteenth. There was only one
difference-no form of dead man
now lay against the foot wall, to rest
there more than q score of years I'M
til II should come TO light, pile OF
bones In time-shredded clothing. And
as he thought of II. Fairchlld remem-
bered that the earthly remains of
"Sissle" Larsen had lain within almost
few feet of the spot where he had
drilled the prospect hole into the foot
wall, there to discover the ore that
promised bonanza.
But this time there was nothing and
no clue to the mystery of Harry's
disappearance. Fairchild suddenly
strengthened with an idea. Perhaps,
after all. lie had been on the other
side OF the cavern and had hurried
on out of the mine. But In that event,
would be not have waited for his re-
turn to tell him of the accident? How
ever. II was chance, and Falrchlld
took It. Once more he crawled through
the hole that he had made In the cave
in and sought the outward world.
Then he hurried down Kentucky
gulch and to the Sampler. But Harry
had not been there. He went through
town, asking questiors, striving his
best to shield his anxiety. cloaking his
queries under the cover of cursory re-
marks. Harry had not been seen. Al
last, with the coming OF night, he
turned toward the boarding house, and
| on his arrival, Mother Howard. sight
ing his white face, hurried to him.
"Eave you seen Harry?" he asked
"No-he hasn't been here"
II was the last chance. Clutchlng
fear at his heart, he told Mother How.
ard OF the happenings at the mine
quickly. as plainly as possible. Their
once more he went forth. to retrace
his steps to the Blue Poppy, to buck
the wind and the fine snow and the
high, piled drifts, and TO go below. But
the surroundings were the same: still

he had torn through IT,, still the rag

my pipe when
it came to me-
Which may, or may not,
be a boost for Edgeworth

How many good ideas are born In o
pipe OF tobaccol There is something
In the calm contentment OF smoking Q
pipe that seems to open up the mind
Cor new ideas.
A busy man, a thinker, whose brain
Il crisscrossed with thousand i'm
pressions, finds that smoking his pipe
wipes out most Of the confusion. and
leaves his mind clean, 80 that the new
idea, the inspiration, has a much
better chance to make its impression
--as II pipe-smoling wiped all the
chalk-marks from the blackboard OF
the mind and invited new ideas, new
thoughts, and creative plans to out
line themselves thereon.
Lots Of men get good ideas when
shaving. Many more find their new
ideas when putting away at the pipe.
The right kind Of tobacco is an i'm
portant matter to q pipe-smoker--
though, like breathing, he seldom
thinks Of it. Having settled on a GER
tain brand, It becomes habit to buy
that. II the tobacco just suits his
taste, 1t doesn't matter what its name
Is or what 1t costs--it becomes
his tobacco.
Edgeworth suits many men. We
presume there are some men who
wouldn't like Edgeworth. It Is .

We want those men to try Edge

our pouch personally, but as that La
impossible, we'll do what We can.
The makers Of Edgeworth will send
free samples to any pipe-smoker whe
will askfor them. Simply send a postal
or a note asking for these free samples
and they'll come to you by the first
mail.
Edgeworth comes In two forms
Ready-Rubbed and Plug Slice. In
either form It is a moist, fragrant to-
bacco that packs nicely, lights quickly
and burns freely and evenly.
We can't promise that Edgeworth
will make brilliant ideas come to you;
but we are sure you will have de-
lghtful smoke--and after all, that's
all that good tobacco Is supposed to
give.

r.gation enterprises. went steadily for
ward and a number OF large enter-
prisea were projected At the very time
when the agricultural outlook was
gloomiest. these including plans for
the reclamation OF 125. 900 acres IN the
Casper district and an equally great
acreage IN the 6aratosa valley with
waters from tho North Platte river
which the federal reclamation service
during the year finally. after long hest
fancy. admitted II did not require for

The reclamation service continued
work during the year on enlargement
Of the Pathfinder and Shoshone prof.
ects and opened additional farm units
under each. these units under the
Pathfinder project numbering 2s2 and
under the Shoshono 81. The units
range in area from 40 TO 40 aores.
The service also continued with con
struction OF the Riverton project
which eventually will reclaim ESQ. 600
acres OF potentially the richest agricui-
tural land in the stnte. The federal
budget for the coming year carries a.
