! months"
Good Cd! then you're not the
Frisco Kid'?"
I'm all the Kid there ever was"
Kelleen admitted carelessly. THAT
party was simply manufactured to
order; here is where he ends his des-
perate career. I would have kept the
secret awhile longer If | could, but per-
haps II is just as well. Now we un-
derstand each other, Garrity, and the
very hest thing you can do will be to
answer my questions"
Kelleen paused, turning quickly
oyer in his mind what he had better
attempt. He felt a profound con-
tempt for his prisoners. Meager, while
n physical giant, was mentally no
more than a mere cowardly brute /;
| sly. t~reacherous villain, but physically
unable 10 cope with him for a moment,
and now utterly cowed. While he re-

less, he certainly had nothing to fear.
His first intention had been to hold
the fellows as prisoners. until the
squad of troopers appeared; turn
| them over TO the lieutenant in COM
mand. searching the cave later at his
own leisure. But why wait? II 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 of into the desert
doubtless. might be there still, lost in
those leagues of sand, struggling for
life. The vision called to him. yet he
could not seek her until after his
men came. These prisoners were far
too important 10 be left unguarded.
His duty as an officer held him as in
a wise.
But he realized ut that m q
decision that his heart was with Debo-
rah Meredith. He must find her. res
cue her. and-thank God!-there was
time enough TO accomplish this.

time, the old fox was too sly. So
finally Garrlty put up a meeting with
him-they had some secret signal ar
ranged between 'em-and in that way
we traced out this ave and got him
cornered."
l"Cavel It's a tunnel. amt it?"
Il don't know what 1t Is. I've only
been here once before-in the dark.
What's your idea2"
"That Manuel found 'Alvara's Lost
Mine'-it's got all the earmarks."
"The-the Lost Miner Then
it's worth millions! You-you can't
mean It."
"It's only a guess; let's chuck that
now. and finish up with Gomez"
"Yes, but watt" exclaimed Meager
eagerly. suddenly seeing a chance for
himself. "There amt no use of you

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 Clarity 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 II. 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 a nice little
surprise party all made up for Manuel.

A low, peculiar whistle echoed
through the passage, and Meager
stopped suddenly. Again the whistle
sounded, evidently from the entrance
TO the tunnel.

SOLUTION OF SHIPPING
PROBLEM IS OFFERED

What is considered, by the Idaho
public utilities commission, as the
first real step toward solution of the
| transportation problem as it exists
between the shippers and carriers, is
outlined in letter received Tuesday

ton between all interested parties in

these parties must cooperate before
there is real solution" said e. M.

man.

lions perfected for each. One of these

trict and include the states of Nebras-
ka, Wyoming, northern Colorado
(north Of Denver) Idaho excepting
the panhandle) and Utah (north of
Ogden.) The other district is to be
known as the Missouri
district and comnrises the states Of
Kansas northern Oklahoma,
and part Of Arkansas.
The Idaho commission is asked to
name members to the committees
formed at the Kansas City meeting 50
