CHAPTER EIGHT

FOR A MOMENT after Iona
had told Jim Claridge about
Hardy's threat to put her on a
blacklist because she was a con-
Vict's daughter, Jim said nothing.
His mouth had set into a stern line
and she saw his fists go hard and
white on the restaurant table. At
the word Convict" he had whit
ened slowly with the sick, haunted
look she had seen on his face last
night when she had first told him
about her father. Stricken, he
looked.

out, finally. "Tl punch his yellow
face for him." With hidden fury he
half rose from his chair. "I'll mop
up the floor with the scum! Where
lis his office?"
"Oh, no." she cried out, sharply,
then. "You mustn't, JIM" In her
excitement the name fell easily
from her lips. IT didn't mean that
i wanted-I couldn't let you get
into trouble on my account!"
Somebody's got to take care of
you, girl" His lips were set. why
didn't you call me this afternoon?
I haven't worked since the rain
started"
II didn't know" Iona murmured,
a hot, shamed flush spreading over
her face. II thought you were
working" she lied. "And besides,
now that I have the prospects of a
job, you mustn't do anything

him arixiously. T
You're too -hot-tempered," she
told him.. .tAll you men are alike.

mixed up in another fight. You
might KILL him the way Daddy
did, and then"
She shuddered and, relaxing, he
leaned across the table and patted
her hand.

ing. 1t made me see red for a min
ute. don't want to make any more
ltrouble for you, of course. But I
sure would like to get in just one
ipunch," he finished, smiling the
slittle half-smile, that Iona remem-
gbered from last night. Watching
;shim light an after-dinner ciearet
y with deft movements of his capable
looking hands, she recalled her Bit
ter doubts of the afternoon with a
wave of shame. How could she have
thought she couldn't trust him (?
With his eyes, and that smile! You
could always trust man who
smiled like that.

finished the cigaret.

velop into her purse as if it were

Funny, she found herself think
ing, that such a worn, dirty, dis
carded thing could give her so,
much hope. She had read countless
business addresses printed neatly
in the want ads and they had never
meant anything but just-more re-

telling herself, reassuringly. "He

But it took all her courage to
fling open the frosted door and step
inside. To the sandy-haired Office
boy who bobbed up at her entrance;
she proffered her hesitanti request
to see Mr.. Sanders with q, grateful

groundless. She squared her Shout;

guests and gossip about the find.
Storekeepers and filling station at
tendants locked up to go to the
shaft and gaze at the streak of gold
sandwiched between LAYERS of
quartz. Old-timers recall the days
before 1861 when a United States
mint was in Dahlonega stamping
out $40 gold pieces. It had been as
sumed, before Dugas came along,
that the Dahlonega gold field had
been exhausted.
Dugas planned to start crushing
the ore in about two months. A
specially built gold mill is being
brought from California. Several
thousand dollars worth of scrap"
already have been taken from the
vein by his miners.
While waiting to start, Dugas and
his seven associates spend their
time reading letters which offer
everything from stocks and invest
ments to marriage. Dugas had one
proposal from a pretty Texas
blonde, 18 years old, who would love
to live with a miner and rough it."
DugaS, whose prospecting career
has taken him from South America
to Canada, has believed for years
that gold remained in Dahlonega.
He tried for Is years to rent the
property which now has yielded him
prospects of untold wealth. 1t once
was owned and operated by United
States Sen. James c. Calhoun, of
South Carolina. Dugas tried again
to lease it when P. P. Carmichael
acquired it. Last year, shortly before
Carmichael died, he leased the mine
to Dugas for 30 years at $4,000 a
year.
Several residents are going to ask
the town council for permission to
tear up the principal street to search
for gold. There is legend that de-
cades ago promising vein was
found under the street.

Harrison said revenues were in

under consideration, but no con-

learned today.
A we'll informed source said the
scheme was still in the "talkative"
stage. 1t is believed, however, in
view of the apparent intention of
Germany to resort to the extensive
use of mines in attempting to block
British shipping, the contracts will
be rushed to an early conclusion.
1t was not disclosed in what dock
yards the ships would be built. 1t

as possible in order to facilitate

Hundreds looked enviously today

gold worth 100000 a ton.
Men who had looked for gold all
their lives went over the tortuous,
six-mile road from Dahlonega to
the Calhoun mine to look at the
rich vein found by Graham c. Du-

Armed guards stood at the mines
entrance to see that Dugas lost
nothing in Dahlonega's latest gold
boom" A double guard stands day
and night at the mine shaft and at
night floodlights shine on the
mines entrance.
Dugas is peppery little mining
