There had been a sort of

Hank had been looking ahead
TO his left, hoping for a sight
of Lois Lanning. The mine
owner had his home here in
the small valley of Burkett
Creek, a little more than half
a mile of stiff climb from the
Winged Mule mine.

DANGER AHEAD

Then that second Hanks
hands gripped the reins till
the knuckles showed white.
Up there 200 yards ahead,
where the rocky hard-pan
road mounted through a mar
row cut, the face and hat of
a man wearing a black mask
had showed for an instant,
then ducked back to cover!
A bandit intended to way
lay the pay roll!
Gritting his teeth because
he had neglected to ask for
any sort of weapon. the youth
looked back = caught his
breath. About 800 yards
back, and coming, hunched
low on a mule, was a second
man. Yes, he wore a mask,
too! They had the blackboard
trapped, with its small satchel
filled with sheafs of paper
money, each sheaf bearing the
bank stamp of amount on its
manila paper loop.
whoa, mules" commanded
Hank, when momentarily a
rise hid him from the on
coming mounted man in the
rear.
Hastily opening The he small
satchel, he took the money
sheafs and thrust them into
the front of his shirt. There
was a wrapped box containing
a new pair of brogans just
purchased for himself. He
thrust this box into the
satchel, then closed the lock
with some difficulty.
Hi there, Tommy" he
called to the youth who was
trying TO make the kite be-
have. "Wait second, 1 think

"Oh, hello HANK, greeted
the boy with a quick smile.
"This darn thing acts funny.

Needs a tail to steady IL,
that's all. I'll fix it," said
Hank, sitting down rapidly
yanking the long rawhide
laces from his 16-inch boots.
But while I'm doing it--oh,
there's Lois! Sa-ay, Lois"
he went on in a strange
whisper, all the time working
swiftly with his hands, and
drawing forth certain sheafs
from the front of his shirt.
"Why Hank, what on earth
are you dOing?" asked the
girl, an amused smile on her
piquant face.
"DO you see those two men
coming ." Hank whispered in
tensely. They're going to
hold me up. I've got the pay
roll! You go in the house and
call your father at the mine.
Tell him to"
But with a sudden paling,
and look of Mortified under
standing, the girl had turned

house.
Nonchantly, seeming to dis
regard the man on foot and
the masked man on the mule
who both were coming straight
for him, Hank thereupon
looped out some of the kite
cord.

son. just watch"
And with that Hank ran a
few steps against the wind.
The kite scared straight up,
and then held altitude as
Hank stood, his back to the
oncoming bandits, and paid
out cord as rapidly as he
dared.
There, Tommy, YOU can
take IL now" he told the
puzzled but willing youngster.
Joyfully Tommy took tie re-
naming cord on the stock and
paid it out little by little. oc-
casionally jerking in the line
to make the ogre-faced kite
climb still higher.
Hank was Just turning back
TO pick up the satchel, when
the two masked men with
pistols confronted him
"Give that here" growled
one of the pair.

"C'mere, you. Where's that

II haven't any pay roll

perfect truth. search me If
you like. but I still wish you'd

A few minutes later baffled
oaths told that the search had
been Ruthless. "Huh, |

man on foot.

the bandit on the mule. That
second, however, he spied
half a dozen mounted men
coming hurriedly downhill
from the direction of the mine.
Without even warning his
erstwhile confederate. he set
spurs into the TANKS OF the
mule, and galloped back to
the only road. But he could
not escape. Three of the men
from the mine galloped after
him, only a few dozen yards
at his rear.

the bandit with a grunt; and

"But where is the pay roll ?"
asked Lanning blankly, five
minutes later. He and. Lois
stood looking wonderingly at
Hank.
"Notice a green tint i'm the

took the kite string from
Tommy, and began hauling
down the Chinese ogre with

Joe Lanning had said caus-

well. But he did have such
dumb ideas!
Perhaps the mine owners

turned away, feigning not TO
notice the color which came
flooding up into the cheeks of
his daughter Lois. Lanning
intended to see to it that his
girl, now about to return to
Berkeley as a senior, made a
good marriage.

Lanning himself had spent
too many years pinching
pennies as a prospector, then
more years trying TO live on
the gold and silver from a
low-grade mine. before the
price of gold suddenly scared.
A good marriage meant one
that included a rich man, or
a man who had the stuff in
