about 1t. While he was working there
he had to leave 1t and go to California.
1t was a long trip, but he felt NJ Worry

OF course, proSpectors were OUT all

was in an almost inaccessible place. You
know how the mountains are around
there.
well, this man nc more than got
to California, than he must turn around
and go to Denver. No, l don't know
why he went there, perhaps to see
about selling his mine after he opened
1t up. He hadn't been there long when
he took sick. All the time he was think
ing Of his mine, and being afraid he
wouldn't get we'll, he went and made
a map OF its location. Someway or
other, this map came into the posses

map. The woman has 1t now. and with
its help is securing the woods to find
the mine. That fellow Lepley outfit
ted never left a mapeeverything con-
nected with his mine was Just hearsay.
It's different with this one on the West
Fork. Seems like with that mar any
one could go straight to the claim
but nobody has.
you see it's not so easy to find your
way about in the thick pines. One man
who was up there where he thought
the mine must be, came back to tell a
strange thing. While roaming about,
he CHANGED upon an old. tumble-down
cabin In among the trees. In It there
was an old stove, all covered with rust.
and ready to drop to pieces, and what
wa left OF q bunk and q table. He
wa sure this cabin belonged to the dis
coverer of the mine, and that it must
be near there.
When he came back and told what
he had found, there was great excite
ment. Those who heard his story want
ed him to take them to the cabin. This
ne "a not willing to do, for he didn't
want to share the mine with every Tom,
Dick and Harry; not he.
He knew others would now be
searching for the cabin, and he tried
to get ahead of them, so he started
out and went straight back the way he
came-or that's what he believed. He
went through the woods in every di-
rection, thinking any minute he would
run onto the cabin; but would you be-
leve me, he couldn't find a sign of It.
1T looked mighty queer. and finally
tired out with the search, he came back
to get fresh supplies and try again. He
did this. He hunted and hunted for
the cabin he saw and knows is there.
It's no use. That cabin can't be found.
Others are out looking, too, and
maybe, some Of them will either run
onto the cabin or the mine, I wonder"

She shook her head sadly. we are

"all go through a period OF training

are allowed to give treatments to our
patients" Tommy now realized how
unscientific was Tony, the barber,
whose patrons were merely customers.
Miss Jenkins deity squeezed some
ointment from a tube on her fingers
and applied it to Tommy's scalp, part
ing the hairs to do 50.
Miss Hope spent fifteen years of
study and experiment before she per-
fected this ointment" she exclaimed
with institutional pride.
"My-fifteen years." said Tommy,
impressed, as it was intended he should
be. He Immediately classified Miss Hope
with those other heroes of the labora-
tory-PaSteur and Steinmetz.
Miss Jenkins lectured as she worked.
Our treatment is really a very COM
mon sense one. There is no mystery
about 1t. The hair and scalp are much
like a piece of sod. Sod must be kept
clean of weeds SO that the a will
not be choked and unable to breathe.
The ground must be kept loose, and fer
tilizer must be added to give nourish-
ment. So VT keep the scalp clean of
weeds, I might say, by a thorough
shampoo. We render the scalp loose
and pliable by plentiful massage SC

they?" Tommy felt falIantly reckless.
Let's see. It's right off Fifth venue
I'm not sure which street. I'll look 1t
up in the phone book"
will you?" He was excited and
grateful.
Tommy paused before opening the
door. On the frosted glass appeared the
legend:
Helen Hope Institute
London-New YOrk-Paris
The London" and Paris" made him
feel a bit timid. He was not used to
dealing with International characters.
But he entered after a deep breath. I'm
mediately before him stood a flat top
ped desk at which sat a trim looking
young lady, regarding him politely from
behind her horn-rimmed glasses.
Tommy, inspired, decided it would
be well to say something.
I'D like to-that is, do you treat
men, too-their scalps, I mean?"
20, yes, indeed" Her tone and man.
ner implied that men were really pre-
ferred patrons. do you wish to take
the treatments?"
why, yes, if it doesn't mean
how much do you charger"
She answered with a smile Of apol-
ogy.
I'VE charge two dollars a treatment,
We advise taking ten treatments con-
secutively, if possible, SO that we can
get the scalp in good shape, and after
that two or three a week."
Tommy felt inwardly relieved. He had
really expected it to be more expen-
sive-an institute that had offices ir
London and Paris, not to mention Chi
cago. He quickly calculated that three
treatments a week would be six dollars
a little more than ten percent of hi.

"Yes, / want to take them" he de-
cided.

of his head with the aid OF the hand
mirror. He examined 1t hopefully, but
honestly: scientifically, but tenderly.
He frequently had dates with Clara.
Sometimes she acted charmingly to
him, and his soul took wing to dizzy
heights; again she was pettish and in
some depths. But In the depths or on
the heights. he increasingly fought the
falling hairs.
After several months he had acquired
a large collection of tonicS and balms
and cures. They stood, in jars and bot
ties, upon shelf in his room. Each had
been procured hopefully, tried feverish-
ly and prayerfully-and then deserted
abruptly for the next. And yet each
morning Tommy'S comb, though man
ipulated ever so gently, reaped its grim
harvest of hairs. He began to associate
that comb with the Scythe of the Angel
of Death.
He decided that something desperate
must be done.
Miss Todd. the stenographer, oppor-
timely offered a suggestion. Tommy
accosted her in the office.
"How's your brother-in-law getting
along with that Rupert's Royal Rem
ery?"
Miss Todd lowered her voice and
glanced at Liebermann.
"Well-to tell you the truth-you see
he got tired of the trouble and quit
while he was still on the second bottle"
Another uneasy glance at the bookkeep-
er. Tommy, have you heard about this
Helen Hope institute?"
"Who-no."

they can actually grow hair. Lots Of
actresses and actors go to them. They
have places in London and Paris and
all over the country. They're awfully ex-

it was all in a good cause. Other op-

IN TWO PARTS-PART ONE

"OMMY peered into the bathroom
mirror with mingled hope and
anxiety. BY means of a hand mir
ror held aloft he was trying to cope
with an emergency.
What he saw was not comforting. A
more fortnight person than Tommy
would have called it a bald spot.
He had heretofore regarded his thin
ming locks without emotion. Not that
he didn't care, to a certain extent. 1t
was resignation rather than careless
ness.
When seeking a motive for unusual
conduct or emotion in a man detectives
are supposed TO invariably propose the
rule: "ChercheZ la femme" This is not
q detective story, but Tommy, non the
less, was no exception to the rule. La
femme was Clara Schultz. with the
accent on the ia"
Clara lived over in Brooklyn-and in
Tommy's dreams, both sleeping and
waking. She vas not as yet conscious
of the fact that some day she would
be Mrs. Tommy Reyburn-but so the
dreams always had it.
Tommy knew that his fifty-five dol
lars a week was not sufficient TO sup
port Clara in the style she required,
for her tastes were queenly. Her father
was a plumbing contractor. They owned
a nice large house in Flatbush. They
had a machine-a luxurious sedan.
Clara had been to a finishing school
and could read the French on menu
cards with battling ease. Clara had
ideas. And she was not afraid to pro-
nounce them. She had, for instance, let
1t be known that she scorned subways.

MONTANA HAS ITS
LOST GOLD MINES
PIONEER HISTORIAN TELLS OF
LOST TREASURE MINES IN HIS
TORIC MONTANA
(By MRS. M. E. PLASSMANN)

(By MRS. M. E. PLASSMANN)
Stevenson's story Of "Treausre Is
land will never cease to have an at
traction for old and young. The same
may be said Of tales of untold wealth.
buried by pirates near the sea coast;
but while the former Is recognized as
fiction, its mystery to be solved at
the end Of the book, there will al
ways be some persons who regard the
latter as fact, and are hoping to gain
a clue to the hiding place Of the pir-
ates' catched horde. Rivers and seas
jealousy guard their sunken ships
loaded with gold. OF what would bring
a high price In the markets Of the
world. Not long ago, the press Of
the country gave out q report that an
effort would be made to raise q
Spanish galleon, sunk many years
ago.
Montana Is well named the Treas
ure state, as here is found the wealth
men SO ardently crave. Gold, silver,
copper, and precious stones, we have
them all, and the end is not yet. Every
year brings to light new treasures.
These require labor in their produce
ton; days and nights Of back breaking
toll, unrelieved by any sense Of mys-
terry. Yet mystery is not lacking In this
favored region. Who has not heard OF
the buried gold Of the road agents,
Not long ago one read of a man who
had located Henry Plummer's ill-got-
ten store, in the neighborhood of a GER
fQin Nnrvo1 ond c0,rrhf fn t,nnorfk ~
Patiently he worked, going over the
ground foot by foot, until he had as
sured himself there was no gold there,
and gave up the search in disgust.
If Plummer hid money or gold dust,
other road agents were likely to have
followed his example. For some reason
understood, men do not count the
cost Of working for a possible reward;
the forlorn hope of finding hidden
treasure.
Montana also has her wrecked steam
boats. Whether these contain anything
worth searching for, is doubtful; but
there are men who are willing to give
time and money to find out.
Our state has her lost sapphire mines
so accurately located that it is strange
the many who have sought them have
not found them. One of these, the
%discoverer could not relocate; the
landmarks on which he depended to
show where it was, had disappeared
entirely, or his memory was at fault;
but in the neighborhood he designated,
those gems are waiting to enrich an
other man.
Lost gold mines we have not a few.
About them hangs that cloud of myst-
cry the average person delights in. The
story Of the one down the Missouri, in
which John Lepley was urged to share;
but whose fear of the Indians prevent
ed his sharing his partners fate. is a
matter of history. With the death Of its
discoverer was lost all trace OF the
mine, which must have been a rich
one, If we may credit the story Of the
