tCohtlnueu from yesterdays s Staf)
At first Eliot stoutly refused to talk
and neither threats nor promises could
induce him to tell what he knew.
But at length Pete discovered the
tack that proved successful. BY the
as EIiotS brother, and to the old
Indian woman in the gulch as his
mother. Following this line. Pete re-
peated mythical story in which the
old squaw told him that her son Eliot
mad not searched for the $50, 900 at
all. but had intended double-crossing
Buller and Alguin. Following this,
ana perhaps because he hoped for
clemency at the hands of Pete, Eliot
confessed the entire intrigue con-
cerning the supposed cache of money;
told broken story of how he had
started for Jumbo Point, but had been
pursuaded by his mother to give up
the trip until spring, when 1t would
be safer. Then he told how he had
reported the story Pete had told to
be lie, and how, finally, he found
it actually to be a lie when Pierre,
his brother, came back and said that
Hawkins had cached nothing In the
Jumbo Point region, as Pierre him
self was trapping there, and would
certainly have found Hawkins trail.
Eliot then told how he believed Haw-
kins had hid the money somewhere !;
and how, when Butler went to kill
him. taking Eliot with his sled along
10 haul the body, he himself had
induced Butler to let him commit the
deed Butler he said, had at first OBJ
jected, but when Tamarack Sue said
she could not love a man who killed,
Eliot was given the job. Butler hast
cning back to the prison house to
meet the sheriff. who he expected
would be coming for Pete.
Eliot proposed a scheme to Tama-
rack Sue for saving Hawkins life, he
went on, as soon as Butler left. She
had agreed to the scheme, and to-
gether they took the wounded man
TO lonely cabin far out in the
mountains.
Since then Hawkins had twice
given him false information about
the supposed $4,000. he complained; /;
and he was just returning from his
second trip when he met Houston,
Browning's lawyer.
Slim Eliot wanted to stop at this
point in the story, but Pete urged and
led him on, explaining that he already
knew enough to make trouble-but
that if he knew it all he might let
Slim go.
With great reluctance. Eliot re-
peated how Houston directed him to
iring back the dead bady of Brud
Hawkins; and of what he would do
If Eliot failed to obey.
1t seemed from Eliots rather
sketchy story that long before the
advent of the Salmon River Gold
Company. someone. probably Eliot's
mother. had committed a desperate
crime on the Indian reservation, fol-
lowing which she had changed her
name and disappeared, other Indians
on the reservation assisting by
swearing she was dead. In looking
up titles to placer claims Houston.
Eliot explained. had in some strange
manner traced his mother from her
claim in the gulch back to the old
crime 1t was the fear of having her
brought to trial for this crime tnat
made Eliot willing to obey Houston.
And did you bring back Hawkins
ing with emotion.
NO" Eliot answered reluctantly,
"Meester Houston, he ees want you
queek-then come Msieu Hawkins" Z"
