Had II been any one else, Fairchild
would have shouted for happiness and
Joined the parade. As It was. he
stood far to one side. silent, grim
figure. watching the miners and towns
people passing before him, leaping
about in their happiness. calling to
him the news that he did not want to

dred dollars ton. II meant every
thing for Ohadi; 1t meant that mining
would boom now, that soon the hills
would be clustered with prospectors,
and that the little town would blossom
as a result Of possessing one Of the
rich silver mines Of the state.
Fairchild felt cheap. He felt de-
feated. He felt small and mean not
to be able to Join the celebration.
SquInt and Maurice Rodaine possessed
the Silver Queen: that they. Of all
persons, should be the fortunate ones
was bitter and hard to accept. Why
should they, Of every one In Ohadi, be
the lucky men to find silver bonanza,
that they might faunt 1t before him,
that they might increase their stand.

raise themselves to a pedestal In the
eyes Of every one and thereby rally
about them the whole town In any
difficulty which might arise In the fu-
turei It hurt Falrchild, It sickened
him. He saw now that his enemies
were more powerful than ever. And
for moment. he almost wished that
he had yielded down there In Denver,
that he had not given the ultlmatum to
the greasy Barnham. that he had &C
cepted the offer made him-and gone
on, out Of the fight forever.
Anita! What would II mean to her7
Already engaged, already having given
her answer to Maurice Rodaine, this
now would be an added incentive for
her to follow her promise. It would

with her father. already too weak
from illness to find the means Of
evading the insldlous pleas Of the two
men who had taken his money and
made him virtually their slave. The
future looked black for Robert Fair
child. Slowly he walked past the
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 Il, q
bleak. staring. single eye which
seemed to brood over its own misfor
tunes, a dead, hopeless thing which
never had brought anything but dlsap-
polntment. A choking came into Fair
child's throat. He entered the tunnel
slowly, ploddingly; with tagging mus
Giles he hauled up the bucket which
told Of Harry's presence below, then
slowly lowered himself into the re-
cesses Of the shaft and to the drift
leading to the stope. where only q few
days before they had found that
gaunt. whitened, haunting thing which
