Jul Justin. uitra-modern and as lambently lovely at 20 n the Saga lily. starts out on q moon-lit night in August, accompanied by her brother. Tony. to attend harvest festival.
 The two run into an automobile hold-up. Jill is kidnapped by bandits. but later rescued by Jack Stuart and returned to her home in Ellis ton, w. Va.
 It is the old story retold. Jack stops for a visit and remains to wed the adorable Jill.
 Life is kind to Jack and his bride, end the passing of two years find them parents to a pair of twin boys and girl.
 Now comes the Great Event. Stuart and Tony Justin buy tax utle to property in the hills, incor- porating on old abandoned silver mine.
 One day in the following April Tony meets a pretty flapper. who tells him her name is Mary but she is called Mike" She is driving sport roadster and asks him to guide her to . place in the hills known as The Devils Luck. Reaching the spot, Mike" takes the lead and pilots Tony into an electrically light ed chamber. Here she suddenly dis appears. but after a few minutes reappears, accompanied by . large man whom she introduces as Fat Sweeney, her father. Following a short talk, Mike shows Tony the se- cret of her mysterious disappear snce. This is an electrically operated door. swung open on q pivot in the rocky wall. and connecting with an- other chamber fitted up as a lab atory. Tony has already learned their tax title mine yields a tung- s,en-bearing ore of rich content.
 Tony listens to an offer of $1oo,- aoa from Pat Sweeney for a one fourth interest in the tax title pur- chase.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XII
 "sixty-three thousand, three hun dred and thirty-three dollars and ,hirty-three cents." corrected Mike. with her ready smile. Ten thousand for every trip save tn last, and on that thirteen thousand, three hum dred and thirty-three and. And now since I've given you tn substance ot tn proposition, let's go back to Dad."
 "Oi was juist thinkin' O comin' after yez; Oi thot mebbe yez hod strayed off into some drift an got lost" was the greeting vouchsafed the two by ''the only living Jiggs' upon their reappearance in the big cavern-like room.
 I've been trying to enlighten Tony" explained Mike "as to tn why and wherefore of things. What worries him now is why he is to keep tn story of How he Got Rich Quick to himself. You'd better tell him. Dad!"
 Well, it's loike this, me bye" said Pat Sweeney, turning his keen glance on the young man. Its un- tort-u-nate, but a fact nevertheless, that . tax title to 8 piece of proper ty is very often poor title. Erin stance:
 If tn uncle of this unknown. or unlocated soldier, who was tho't fr siveral years to how been killed in France-but wasn't-if this uncle got wind of our work he could put an injunction on us in the name O his nephew. of whom he is said to be tn guardian. Thot would t1e us up in-def-i-nitely. Then, if tn soldier showed up he could reclaim his property he night say hs inixht-force yez to settle wit him for tn ore. But. if ne knew nothing about tn ore, why, he would do nothing. D'yuh gee. me bye?"
 T see." said Tony, reflectively' and wondered at the same time in what light Jack Stuart. who was peculiar in some ways, and owned a rugged Scotch honesty that had shown itself to be fairly unpunctur- able, would view the matter. Pat Sweeney, like "his gyrul, Mike seemed to be able to read Tonys thoughts.
 "Yez are wondcrin' how yer brother. .in-law will! look at tn situa- ,iono" he said. tentatively.
 Well, Jack is bit queer in some ways" admitted Tony. trifle rue lully. "However,' he added, "1 reckon we'll be able to. make hin2 see tn light tn same as we do. And if we can." he queried rather hur- rIedly, "how soon would we be able 10 start on tn job?"
 A close observer would have noted the glint of satisfaction in Pat Sweeney's keen eyes at the question. That the young man had been fas- cinated, his imagination intrigued by the alluring rhythm, the smooth run of consonants in the words "Sixy-three thousand. three hun dren and thirty-three dollars and thirtv-three cents"-was plainly in djcated. Pat Sweeney. wise In the \. avs of human nature. and the workings of the human mind, had known just the psychological effect those words would have. That's why he had instructed Mike to play them up in the best way possible. It remained now to be decided between Tony Justin and Jack Stuart, with Tony on the "money side" Thus IT. matters stood. as he gave answer fo the young mans question.
 He wants 10 begin f move tn junk ''' he replied, in the form of an inquiry. Well he proceede thoughtfully. "thot de binds, av coorse. on the amount av toime thot e-lapses durin' tn inter val betwixt tn prisint moment an thot w'ich sees us riddy ( start. In th' ev-vint thot wew lose no toinle
