on up through the high-pIled snow

A faint ncrid odor struck his nos

to reach 1t, and we can have the whole
story by morning. Let's go!"
Along the great length of the foot
wall, extending all the distance Of the
big chamber, the men began their
work, five men to the drills and as
many to the sledges, us they started
their doublejacking. Midnight came,
the first Of the six-foot drills sank to

The workmen hurried for the powder

with their waxy wrappers and their
gelatinous contents, together with
fuses and caps. Crimping nippers-
the inevitable accompaniment of n
miner-came forth from the pockets
of the men. Careful tamping, then
the men took their places at the fuses.
"Give the wordr' one of them an

child. Each of us'll light one of
these things, and then say Wen run !!
Because this Is going to be some ex-

Fairchild smiled the smile of a man
whose heart Is humping at its maxi
mum speed. Before him in the long
line of the foot wall were ten holes.
"uphGles," "downs" and "swimmers, "
attacking the hidden ore in every di-
rection. Ten holes drilled six feet
into the rock and tamped with double
charges of dynamite. He straight
ened.
"All right, men! Ready?"
Ready"
"Touch 'em Off I"
The carbide lamps were held close
to the fuses for second. Soon they
were all going, splitting like so MANY
venomous, angry serpents-but neither
Fairchild nor the miners had stoned
to watch. They were running as hard
as possible for the shaft and for the
protection that distance might give. A
wait that seemed ages. Then:
"One!"

Again wait, while they looked at
one another with vacuous eyes. A
long interval until the tenth.

travelled to the shaft AVID were thrown
back again. He tore of his coat and
cap, and attacked the timbers like the
fenr-maodened man he was, dragging
them by supc.irunan force out of the
way and clearing path to the refuse
Hours passed. while the sweat
poured from his forehead and his
muscles seemed to tear themselves

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 Rarry's
disappearance. FaIrchild suddenly
strengthened with an Idea. Perhaps,
after all, he 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, 1t was a chance, and Fairchlld
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 questions, striving his
best to shield his anxiety, cloaking his
queries under the cover Of cursory re-
marks. Harry had not been seen. At
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.
Have you seen Harryf" he asked.
'NO-he hasn't been here"
II was the last chance. Clutching
fear at his heart, he told Mother How
ard Of the happenings at the mine,
quickly as plainly as possible. Then
once more he went forth, to rctrace
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
the caye-in, with its small hole where
he had torn through it, still the rag

Back into the black night, with the
winds whistling through the pines.
Back to wandering about through the
hills, hurrying forward at the sight
OF every faint, dark object against
the snow, in the hope that Harry,
crippled by the cave-in, might have
some way gotten out of the shaft.
But they were only boulders or logs
or stunps Of trees. At midnight.
Fairchld turned once more toward
town and to the boarding house. But
Harry had not appeared. There was
only one thing left to do.
This time, when Fairchild left
Mother Howard's. his steps did not
lead him toward Kentucky gulch. In
stead he kept straight on up the
street. past the little line of store
buildings and to the courthouse, where
he sought out the sole remaining light
in the bleak, black uuilding-Sherifr
