tnat Curt and Mary had rented, had
once been a prospector. He was
willing enough to teach the boy what
he could about the business.
Trudging along beneath the blazing
MONDAY sun, q sleepy pack burro
loaded down with his equipment and
provisions shambling along behind,
Curt wondered how Mary was going
to stand 1t. She had been willing
enough to quit their Job back home
and come out into the desert, where
he could paint pictures. 1t was o. K.
while their money lasted, but now
that they needed another stake to
keep going-well, she hadn't liked the
idea Of his going into the desert alone.
IT'S filled with all kinds Of dam
gers, snakes and bandits, and"
Now. Mary, It's silly to think Of
bandits. This isn't the old West.
It's 1888. There aren't any bandits
left"
Aren't there? Well, just yester-
day the bank at Barlow was held up
and robbed and"
But, darling, those weren't the
old type Of desert bandits, who ride
horses and carry SIX guns and go
into the desert to hide. Now, for
goodness sake. be sensible"
He wished now he hadn't been so
sharp with her After all, he was
going to be away a week. Tough
on the kid But-what If he struck
1t rich? A bonanza! He'd buy her
everything q woman could possibly
desire.
He stopped and drank from his can
teen. Foolish Of him to think Of
bonanzas. Why. there hadn't been q
rich strike for years. Still :.
On his second day out, Curt came
to the hills described to him by Old
Sam. If Old Sam was correct there
was q dry stream bed here where he
could pick up a few dollars worth
Of dust.
He found the stream bed and fol-
lowed 1t for mile. There were indi-
cations that others had been here
before him. No use digging where
the ground had been recently worked
over. That night he camped far up
the stream. The next morning he
set to work. BY nightfall he figured
he must have at least IS worth Of dust.
Not very big haul. Hardly worth
it. Still, 1t was better than nothing,
and there was always the chance
Of q strike.
The next day he worked 10 hours
and made about S. Perhaps, he
decided, he'd better move up the
stream bed farther. The following
morning he broke camp, and all that

both sides for the spare green growth
that would indicate water. The sun
was blistering hot. and he felt low
in spirits. So far he hadn't made
enough to pay for his equipment
and provisions. He could remain
here four more days at the most.
Suddenly his eye lighted on a tiny
oasis. 1t was almost hidden by a
cluttering of boulders. directly below
him. Well, there'd be water there
anyhow.
He started down the steep en-
bankment. He took two steps and
his foot slipped on q loose stone.
There was clattering sound. and
in a flash Curt found himself roll
ing and sliding helplessly down the
slope. He turned . complete somer-
sault. and as he did 10 he glimpsed
beneath him 4 man who had been
bending over the pool Of water. The
man Strengthened up with q startled
exclamation, reaching toward his belt.
But there was no time for what
the man intended to do. In a split
seconds time. Curtis body had crashed
into him, knocking him fiat.
Dazed. Curt rolled over and sat up
The man, gun half drawn, was lying
at full length unconscious. Curt
went toward the mans pack with
the idea Of getting q cup with which
to carry water from the pool. He
opened the pack. and his eyes bulged.
There were a dozen packages OF
greenbacks inside that pack. all Of
a larger denomination than Curt had
ever known was made.
For a moment Curt stood still,
trying to think. He remembered the
signs he'd seen in the stream bed
hoofmarks, chiefly. and camp sites.
He had thought other prospectors had
been there. Then his thoughts leaped
to what Mary had said: The bank
robbery at Barlow.
The man on the ground groaned
and stirred. Curt took three quick
steps toward him, bending over and
snatching the old-fashioned six
shooter from the mans belt.
The bank gave Curt reward OF
$4,000. and the State paid him an
other $1,000. They could. with care,
live two years on that. But neither
felt they'd have to. for Curtis paint
ings were getting better and better
Il guess" Mary laughed happily,
you'll listen to me hereafter when
warn you against bandits"
Il guess" Curt laughed back,
"I1l never listen to any one who
says there's no chance of making q
rich gold strike these days"

you are entitled to unemployment

not all States are paying unem-
pioyment compensation benefits

my unemployment compensation

riod of ten weeks more than 100
persons were enrolled. DR.. Sum-
ner returns at the request OF
many of those enrolled last
spring.
Instead of the course lasting
for only ten lessons it will be
extended to 20, and if the inter
est justifes it can be extended in

vanced instruction. A certificate
of proficiency will be given to all
who are regular in attendance and
finished the course, said DR.. Sum.
ner. O..
AS to the type of lessons to be
taught, DR.. Sumner said:
at, will be of a more general
nature and will be called Chris.

based upon Christian teaching,
but will be none the less practi-
cal. Since the course will not be
given under the auspices of the
