Regardless of danger Joey worked beaver-like at his deception. The "soup" did twice the work of dy- namite and in two weeks he was delighted to find that his own per- sonal cache was heavier than the amount Mesquite had borne away. while the bag they were to share contained only slightly less.
 But the strain was beginning to tell on Joey'S nerves. Working in cessantly, he was hallow-eyed and pale from loss of sleep and from ex- citement. Momentarily he feared that he might have niscalculated the length of time necessary to make the trip out of the mountains and return and that Mesquite would return unexpectedly and discover him in his act of treachery.
 He'd hate to have to take the old mans life, but there would be no other course.
 He determined the earliest day on which he could expect the old pros pector's return and decided to bury his gold on the day previously. On the evening of that day Joey ceie- brated by quitting his work just before twilight and gloating over his hoard before secreting it. The golden beams of the setting sun played enticingly on the reddish metal.
 Wealth, power. freedom glinted
 from the open mouth of the sack. playing upon Joey's senses like the songs of the Lorelei. One more
 charge and then he would
 bury the sack! One more pound or
 so of the metal for himself before he would again start filling their
 sack. Joey looked carefully down the hill and the long valley before
 he entered the tunnel. No sign or him yet!
 At the far end of the digging he prepared to pour g small amount of the powerful explosive over the fuse which was protruding from 8
 small hole drilled in the wall of the vein. A stone, dislodged from the hill above, fell into the mouth of the tunnel Startlingly, shattering the deathlike stiffness.
 Joey's frayed nerves jumped. sMesquite!" he cried as he whirled to face the entrance. The bottle.. half filled with liquid death, struck
 sharply upon the bassalt side of the shaft.
 Two days later Mesquite recon structed what had happened. Poor
 Joey!" was his epitaph. He must
 have worked hard for us, and then had to leave an old codger like me the lions sharei" He reverently
 removed his battered hat and tear glinted in his eye.

"Venice is exactly as pictured it!" The pudgy blonde in the black satin gown drew a long, shivering breath. "The moonlight just seems to pour down on one, doesn't it?"
 q suppose so." The tall. angu- lar woman with her shifted her weight from one foot to the other and glared down at the oily water. "Fine place for rheumatism, if you ask me. never saw such a clutter of moldy old buildings. Where's Henry?"
 q sent him into the hotel for my lace shawl. I must look beautiful tonight, Emily"
 "stiIl rolling your eyes at that gondolier, Patsy?"
 That's a crude way to put it," Patsy bristled. i've already told you I think Luigi is in love with me-"
 Emily snorted. That's a fine way for married woman to talk. Suppose I should tell Henry"
 "You wouldn't, would you?" Patsy gasped. When you've al- ways been my best friend?"
 No, won't tell him, but I don't want to listen to any more drivel about your off-color gondolier. Let's sit down. I don't like cold stone benches either, but my feet hurt"
 "I'1l never mention Luigi-after tonight" Patsy lowered her voice to a hollow whisper. Because to- night is the last time I shall ever see him. And I'm going to see him somehow-alone."
 "When?" Emily started.
 "After we get back. Henry al- ways goes to sleep when we're gon- dola riding. I'll have plenty of op- portunity to talk to Luigi. oh, Emily! You don't know how Luigi thrills me! I've always wanted a handsome man to kneel at my feet and kiss my hand-and you can just tell that's the way Luigi would make love to a woman! Oh;" She sprang up quivering. Here he comes now! I do think he has the handsOmest gondola in all Italy!"
 And here's Henry!" Emily hiss ed as she got up and joined Patsy.
 The gondola eased up to the steps. it's gay-colored lanterns swaying. Luigi, a blur of bright red silk. mahogany-co skin and flashing white teeth, guided the party to seats in the bobbing vehi- cle. Henry Brown was yawning.
 "Now, get yourself settled for a nice, long snooze, papa" Patsy gig gled.
 Don't be sarcastic" Henry snapped. I'm worn to frazzle with your cockeyed sightseeing. I want to go home"
 "So you shall, darling!" Patsy swallowed nervous laugh. "Oh-

ah-Henry-we must talk to Luigi when we get back--about the tapestry-the one I was looking at yesterday"
 Henry shot a peevish look at his wife. "You talk to Luigi" he said.
 A long, languorous hour later Luigi again guided his gondola to the steps and helped the Brown party out onto what passes for ter- ra firma in Venice.
 Patsy hesitated at the top step, worthless for once. Henry stalked past her toward the hotel.
