 Silas was already digging in the soil himself, but he found nothing and Carolee bade him come and eat. .~

 After supper they lighted torches of pinion limbs and went into the back room" Of their camp. It was alive with shadows, but nothing else moved. Other occupants obviously were pack rats, for their piles of assorted rubbish could be seen against each of the inner walls. Some bones and bits of dried fur were seen, and old man Golfer reasoned that a panther or lynx had eaten & jackrabbit or other quarry there, and maybe denned there at some time.
 Silas was elated when he found 6 rusted iron ring, of the type still used on harness and saddles. It likely was of Spanish origin, too.

CHAPTER XIV

It didn't matter If the reporters missed one salient detail in their really excellent coverage of the trag- edy, and 1t wasn't their fault any, way. Sheriff Watson didn't want the fact known that Paul Golfers dead hand had clutched gold; he had his own reasons. Only this search ing party and Stuart Blake had been told.
 "You see what all the printed, as stis," the sheriff commented two days later, in talking to Stuart. ri we'd let 1t be known Colter actually found gold, we'd have thousands of people climbing around up here, and more business than any sheriff could take care of. Gold breeds fools Mir. Blake!"
 Have you been back to the place? Where you found the body?
 Nope. But the old man knows, He'll probably so back. Ills sons { death might have discouraged him and sent him with his family on back to Texas, but I had to give him the nuggets. They was right fully his. He'll hunt ag'in."
 The Golfers did go hunting again.
 They buried Paul the next day after they found him. It was a peculiarly mixed group of mourn- CTS who went to the graveside, right there at the base of the mountain. Carolee had suggested this as the logical place to bury him, for economic as well as for sentimental reasons. With her md her grieving family stood all fhe people at Superstition Lodge, M few assorted ranchers and cow boyz, and the newspaper men, rho sheriff kept several dozen curious strangers away. Twenty four hours afterward, old man Colter and Silas were preparing 70 enter the mountain fastnesses again, heading for Paul's last camp in the hope and heightened exrectation of locating the gold depcsit. The sheriff would con- tirue whatever investigation he could.

Meanwhile Larry proposes mar

me out about how much money you
have" She stopped on talking and
slipped her drink while her last re-
mark sank in. Then she went on:
"You might make good hus-
band for Jennifer at that. She's
frightfully extravaganza, loves eX-
penSive clothes and servants just
as much as you do" Daphne
knew that sacrifice was not in
Tucks line. He loved his fine
clithes, his expensive little apart
ment and Daphne knew that 1t
took all his income to keep them
up. She watched the dubious
frown gather on his forehead.
She'll be true to you, Tuck.
Shes that kind because she is
jealous. She knows what she
wants and what she wants, she
gets! But once she has got 1t, 1t
belongs to her. I admire her pos
sessiveness and her go-gettedness,
too"
Tuck drew in his breath. Daph-
me half-expressed him to whistle.
Instead he took long swallow.

that's up to you. Frankly, I
think 1t might be good idea.
You're lots older than Jennifer

stead of running away, you let
me announce your engagement
and give the child a chance to get
ready for a real wedding, to get
an apartment for the two of you.
You'll need a much larger one
than this, of course"
Tuck got up and picked up the
suitcase. He took it into the bed
room. Daphne gave herself the lux
ury of q great sigh of relief and
stifled her smile Of triumph as he
came back.

now employed as an obscure chemist
in San Francisco, at a meager salary.
His wife, Magda, cannot adjust herself
to the change. She is a. beautiful woman,
fond Of pleasure and magnet for mems

been down at a summer resort and
Keith joins them for the weekend.

Later that night Victoria is grief-stricken
when she hears her parents quarreling.
The Herrendeens return to their small

not approve of Magda's mad social life
and they quarrel frequently. Magda re-

hours later. Magda shows him a Chi
