Kelleen paused. turning quickly
over in his mind what he had better
attempt. He felt a profound con-
tempt for his prisoners. Meager, while
a physical giant, was mentally no
more than a mere cowardly brute (;

sly, treacherous villain. but physically
unable to cope with him for moment,
and now utterly cowed. While he re

own leisure But why wait? 1t might
be an hour, two hours yet, before the
soldiers arrived-and then there was
Deborah. His thought leaped swiftly
to the girl; what had happened TO her
during those long, dark hours? Where
had she disappeared after he had
been dashed from the rock? She had
evidently escaped discovery; he knew
that; had wandered on into the desert

CHAPTER xV-Continued.

"Seems he wasn't doing anything any
more, just hiding out; none Of his
gang with him. 1t had got so hot for
the old devil he was afraid to show
his nose above ground; fifty thousand
for him, dead or alive, you know
that last raid had got the q. s. after
him as well as Mexico and he was
smart enough to lie out here until 1t
blew over. Maybe we never would
have got on to him If Sanchez hadn't
struck his trail one day by accident
over beyond Silver springs. That led
him into this valley, and then he got
lost again. After that we kept a
watch. 1t didn't do no good for some
time, the old fox was too sly. SO
finally Clarity put up meeting with
him-they had some secret signal ar
ranged between 'em-and In that way
we traced out this cave and got him
cornered."
"Cave! It's tunnel, amt IT."
Il don't know what it Is. I've only
been here once before-in the dark.
What's your idea?7
"That Manuel found 'Alvara's Lost
Mine'-it's got all the earmarks."
''The-the Lost Miner Then
It's worth millionsl You-you can't
mean IT."
TITS only guess; let's chuck that
now. and finish up with Gomez"
Eyes, but waitI" exclaimed Meager
eagerly, suddenly seeing a chance for
himself. There amt no use Of you
making any gunplay with me, Kid
What's the matter with us being pard-
ners? There's only three Of US know
about this-you, Garrity an me. H!
there must be money enough here to
make US all rich; Gomez has got a
devil of a lot hid away somewhere,
and, good Cd If this is the Lost
Mine"
Kelleen hesitated, not from any
doubt as to his own purpose, but in
an endeavor to choose the best method.
Meager's plan opened new possibili-
ties; the man must know more than
he had revealed, while Garrity was
apparently even deeper versed In the
mystery. Just now both men would
be more valuable alive than dead.
THAT sounds fair enough, Bob" he
replied quietly. You say the judge
Is In on 1t. too?"
"Sure; he got the dope. and you
can't play any tricks on Clarity. He's
coming here this morning"
"Here?"
That's what. We had nice little
surprise party all made up for Manuel,
only you cooked the goose"
A low, peculiar whistle echoed
through the passage, and Meager
stopped suddenly. Again the whistle
sounded, evidently from the entrance
to the tunnel.
Il reckon that's him." he said GRIM
