Most of the college crowd had to leave at p. m. on schedule any way. They exclaimed that never did they expect to witness another adventure comparable to this one, and Roselee regretted that she barely had an opportunity to wave them a final thanks and farewell.
 Dick drove the ambulance sedan, and while the four young people rolled carefully along they had opportunity for the talk they needed. Events had moved so swiftly, complications had been so great, that they had hardly had chance to breathe, Roselee stated with a sigh.
 Dick tried to tell them about moving the money into the jail dungeon and having a fight with a mining man there.
 We know it," Christine put in solmenly. We saw you, and heard the fight"
 Dick was incredulous. Franklin had to be told all about that too. Dick said he moved the money be- cause too many people knew it was in the old mine shaft; Mrs. Hogan had even told the cowboys and In- dians, he had learned.
 And the ore samples sent in for assay, Roselee," Dick was sur denly enthusiastic. "They mean plenty of money for youl The re- ports went to the mining corpora tion by mistake, but they cant take the, property from you. You own 1t entirely. Reworking the old ore I had in mind is good fol $6 a ton, but remember that new stuff is worth around 8 hundred No telling how much there is of itp
 That was Mrs. Hogan's discov- ery," Roselee declared. "She saw the new gold streak in the rock there when she helped us out oi the cave-in. But the money isn't all mine. We're all sharing this
 "No," Franklin said. "Goldcrest ] is your town. But I would like tc keep my job if I can. need il to get married on."
 "You'll get the $2,000 reward too," said Roselee, smiling. "Yo, and Christine and Dick. You cer- tainly deserve it-goodnessl"
 They didn't say anything more for a long minute or so. Their ! young hearts were too full. Chris. tine just sat her slender legs folded under her, holding Frank lin's hand and stroking his heac lovingly. They were a little cramped in the rear of the sedan although 1t was not uncomfortable because the pavement gave the car smooth rolling. Roselee was ii1 front with Dick and turned often to talk with the others.
 Hurt bad, Frank?" Dick asked then, without turning.
 Mot much. Not bleeding any more either"
 T am so-h-happy, about every thing, I thing I am going to c-ry!" Christine said, and did cry right there with Franklin batting her and murmuring sweet things to her.
 Now there is something magic about tears. And about love, too, of course.
 They don't have to be your own tears, nor your own love neceS- sarily. Other peoples will affect you before you know 1t. Still, if you do have love in your own heart and if your own emotions have been straining, the magic is likely to be infinitely more potent and consequential.
 Roselee didn't want to stare then at Christine and Franklin, SC she turned around.
 And as a matter-of- -factly as that, Dick Bancroft put his strong right arm around her and pulled her close, and she rested her head on his shoulder. He was not driving fast.
 Little grill" he was murmuring, almost whispering. Little girl. Little grill"
 For a long moment Roselee said nothing. Then she snuggled closer to Dick and whispered back to him, Dick, everything is so won- derful."
 "Yes," he said, his cheek touch- ing her hair.
