I On the boat he me tits and becomes In- I terested in a fellow passenger whom he learns Is Bheba O'Neill, aUo "going In." | Colby Macdonald, active head of thy land- Bsobblm: syndicate under Investigation, comes aboard. Macdonald Is attacked by mine laborers whom he had dlschargetl. and the active Intervention of Elliot prob , ably saves his life. CHAPTER ll—Elliot and Macdonald ! become In a measure friendly, though the latter does not know that Elliot Is on a. mission which threatens to BTJOII plans of Macdonald to acquire millions of dollars through the unlawful exploitation of Im . mensely valuable coal fields. Elliot also "gets a line" on the position occupied by Waly Selfrldge, Macdonald's right-hand man. who Is returning from a visit to "the States," where he had gone In an effort to convince the authorities that there was nothing wrong In Macdonald's' methods. CHAPTER lll—Elliot secures an Intro duction to Miss O'Neill and while the boat Is taking on freight the pair set out to climb a locally famous mountain. They venture too high and reach a position from which It la Impossible for Miss O'Neill to go forward or turn back. CHAPTER IV—Elliot leaves Sheba and at Imminent peril of his life goes for as sistance. He meets Macdonald. who had become alarmed for their safety, and they return and rescue Sheba. CHAPTER V—Landing at Kuslak El- ' llot finds that old friends of his, Mr. and Mrs. Paget, are the people whom Sheba has come to visit. Mrs. Paget Is Sheba's cousin. At'dinner Elliot reveals to Mac donald the object of his coming to Alas ka. The two men, naturally antagonistic, now also become rivals for the hand of Sheba. CHAPTER Vl—Macdonald, foreseeing failure of his financial plans If Elliot learns the facts, sends selfrldge to Ka matlah to arrange matters so that Elliot will be deceived as to the true situation. CHAPTER Vll—Elliot, on his way to K&matlah, wanders from the trail. He 't&ses his horse In a marßh and Is com pelled to throw away rifle and provisions and all unnecessary clothing. After long struggles he realizes that ne will nevftr reach Kamatlah. and resigns himself to death. CHAPTER VIII—At Kamatlah, Gideon Holt, old prospector and bitter enemy of Macdonald, learns of Elliot's coming and determines to let him know t'ie truth. Selfrldge has Holt kidnaped and taken on a "prospecting" expedition. Elliot, bare ly alive, wanders intft, their camp and Is cared for. CHAPTER VIII. Old Holt Qoea Prospecting. As soon as Selfrldge reached Kamat lah he began arranging the stage | against the arrival of the government agent. His preparations were elab orate and thorough. A young engineer named Howland had been In charge of the development work, but Wally re arranged his forces so as to let each dummy entryman handle the claim en tered in his name. One or two men about whom he was doubtful he dis charged and hurried out of the camp. The company boarding house'became a restaurant, above which was sus pended a newly painted sign with the legend, "San Francisco Grill, J. Glynn, Proprietor." The,store also passed temporarily into the hands of its mana ger. Miners moved from the barracks that had been built by Macdonald Into hastily constructed cabins on the In dividual claims. Wally had always fancied himself as a stage manager for amateur theatricals. Now he Justified his faith by transforming Kamatlah outwardly from a company camp to a mushroom one settled by wandering prospectors. Gideon Holt alone was outside of all these activities and watched them with suspicion. He was an old-tliner, sly but fearless, who hated Colby Mucdon j aid with a bitter jealousy that could not be placated and he took no pains to hide the fact. He had happened to be In the vicinity prospecting when Macdonald had rushed his entries. Partly out of mere perversity and part-} ly by reason of native shrewdness, old Holt bad slipped In and located one of , the best claims In the heart of the group. Nor had he been moved by per suasion, threats, or tentative offers to buy a relinquishment. He was obsti nate. He knew n good thing when he j hud It, and he meant to sit tight. The adherents of the company might charge that Holt was cracked In the upper story, but none of them denied lie was sharp as a street arab. He guessed that all this preparation was not for nothing. Kamatlah was being dressed up to Impress somebody who would shortly arrive. The first thought of flolt was that a group of big capi talists might be coming to look over their investment. But he rejected this surmise. There would be no, need to try any deception upon them. Mall from Seattle reached camp once a month. Holt sat down before his stove to read one of the newspapers he bad brought from the office. It was th* P.-I. On (he fifth page was a little story tlxit gave him Ills clue. ELLIOT TO INVESTIGATE COAL CLAIMS The reopening of the controversy aa to the Macdonald claims, which had, been t lear-llsted for patent by Harold B. Wlnlon, the Commissioner of Ihe General Land Office, takes on another I phase with the Appointment of Gordon ! Elliot as special field agent to examine the validity of the holdings. The new Held agent won 'a reputation by tils work In unearthing the Oklahoma "Gold Brick" land frauds. Elliot leave* Seattle In the Quean City Thuraday for the North, where he will make a thorough Investigation of the whole situation with a view to clearing up the matter definitely. If hla report Is favorable to the claimants the patents will be granted without further delay. - - This was too good to keep. Holt palled on his boots and went out to twit such of the enemy as he might meet. It chanced that the first of them was Selfrldge. whom he had not seen since his arrival, though he knew the little man was in camp. I "How goes It, Holt? Fine and : dandy, eh?"!lnquired Wally with the .! professional geniality he affected. 1 The old miner shook his head dole fully. "I done bust my laig, Mr. Sel fish," he groaned. It was one of his pleasdnt ways to affect a difficulty of hearing and a dullness of understand ing, so that he could legitimately call people, by distorted versions of their | names. "The old man don't amount to much nowadays." ; "Nothing to that, Gld. You're young er than you ever were. Judging by your looks." "Then my looks lie to beat the devil, Mr. Selfish." "My name Is Selfrldge," explained Wally, a trifle Irritated. Holt put a cupped hand to his ear ' anxiously. "Shellfish, did you say? Tha' 's right. How come I to forget? The old man's going pretty fast, Mr. Shellfish. No more memory than a Jackrabblt. Say, Mr. Shellfish, what's the Idee of all this here back-to-the people movement, as the old sayln' Is?" "I don't know what you mean. And my name Is Selfrldge, I tell you," i snapped the owner of that name. I "'Course I ain't got no more sense than the law allows. I'm a nuziard bald, but me I kinder got to mlllin' It over and In respectrto these here local , Improvements, as you might say, I'm doggoned If I sabe the whyfor." "Just some business changes." Holt showed his tobacco-stained teeth in a grin splenetic. "Oh. That's all. I didn't know bjit what you might be expecting a visitor." Selfrldge flashed a sharp sidelong glance at him. "W/at do you mean —a visitor?" "I Just got a notion mebbe you might be lopklng for one, Mr. Pelfrlch. Like as no* you ain't fixing up for this Gor don Elliot a-tall." Wally had no come-back, unless It was one to retort In Ironic admiration. ; "You're a wonder, Holt. Pity you don't i start a detective bureau." The old man went away cackling. If Selfrldge had held any doubts be fore, he discarded them now. Holt would wreck the whole enterprise, were he given a chance. It would never do to let Elliot meet and talk with him. I He knew too much, and he was eager to tell all he knew. Macdonald's lieutenant got busy at once with plans to abduct Holt. "We'll send the old man off on a prospecting trip with some of the boys," explained Selfrldge to Howland. "That way we'll kill two birds. He's hack on his as sessment work. The time limit will be up before ho returns and we'll start a contest for the claim." Howland made no comment. He was nn engineer and not a politician. In his position It was Impossible for him not to know that a good deal abmit the legal status of the Mfccdonald claims was Irregular. _ But he was a firm believer In a wide-open Alaska, In the use of the territory by those who had settled It. "Better arrange it with Big Bill, then, but don't tell me anything about It. I don't want to know the details," he told Selfrldge. Big Bill Maey accepted the job with a grin. He had niVcr liked old Holt, anyhow. Besides, they were not going to do him any harm. Holt was baking a match of soua dough bread that evening when there came a knock af the cabin door. At sight of Big Bill and his two compan ions the prospector closed the oven and straightened with alert suspicion. He was not on visiting terms with 4iny of these men. Why had they come to j see him? "We're going prospecting up Wild 1 Gn-»se creek, and we want you to go along, Gld," explained Macy. "You're an old sour-dough miner, and we-all agree we'd like to have you throw In with US. t What say?" i The old miner's answer was direct but not flattering. "What do I want to go on a wild-goose mush with a bunch of bums for?" shrilled. Bill Macy scratched his hook nose and looked reproachfully at his host. At least JJolt thought he was looking at him. One could not be sure, for Bill's eyes did not exactly track. "What's the use of snspplng at me like a turtle? Durden says Wild Goose looks fine. There's gold up there— heaps of It." "Let It stay there, then. I ain't going. That's flat." Bolt turned to adjust the damper of his stove. "Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't say that." drawled Bill Insolently. The man at the stove caught the change In tone and turned quickly. He was too lat\ Macy had thrown him self forward and the weight of his | body flung Holt against the wall. Be- i fore the miner could recover, the other | two men were upon him. They bore him to the floor and In spite of his struggle* tied him band and foot. | Big Bill rose and looked down deri sively at his prisoner. "Better change your mind and go with us. Holt. We'll speod a quiet month up at the head quarters of Wild Goose. Say you'll come along." "What are you going to do with me?" demanded Holt. "I reckon you need a church to fall | on you before yoo can lake a bint. Didn't I mention Wild Goose creek three or four times?" Jeered his captor. Holt made no further protest. He was furious, but at present quite help less. However It went against the grain, he might as well give In until re bellion would do some good. Ten minutes later the party was moving silently along the trail tha* GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21,1918 led" to the hills!* The "pic? horse went first. In charge of George Holway. The prisoner walked next, his hands tied | behind him. Big Bill followed, and i the man he had called Dad brougtf up the rear. . i Macy had released the hands or hla . prisoner so. that he might have a | chance to fight the mosquitoes, but he kept a wary eye upon him and never let him move more than a few feet from him. The trail grew steeper as It neared the head of the canyon till at last It climbed the left wall and emerged from the gulch to an uneven mesa. The leader of the party looked at his watch. "Past midnight. We'll camp here, George, and see If we can't get rid of the 'skeeters." They built smudge fires of green wood and on the lee side of these an other one of dry sticks. Dud made coffee upon this and cooked bacon. While George chopped wood for the fires and btWhs of small firs for bed ding, Big Bill sat with a rifle across his knees Just back of the prisoner. "Gld's a shifty old cuss, and 1 ain't taking any chances," he explained aloud to Dud. Holt was beginning to take the out rage philosophically. He slept peace fully while they took turns watching him. Just now there would be no chance to escape, but In a few days they would become careless. The habit of feeling that they had him se curely would grow upon them. Then, reasoned Holt, his opportunity would come. One of the guards would take a chance. It was not reasonable to suppose that in the«ext week or two he would not catch them napping once for a short ten seconds. , There was, of course. Just the pos sibility that they Intended to murder him, but Holt could not associate Self rldge with anything so lawless. The man was too soft of fiber to carry through such a program, and as yet there was need of nothing so drastic. No, this kidnaping expedition would not run to murder. He would be set free In a few weeks, and If he told the true story of where he had been his foes would spread the report that be was Insane In his hatred of Macdonald and Imagined all sorts of persecutions. They followed Wild Goose creek ail next day, getting always closer to Its headwaters near the divide. On the third day they crossed to the other side of the ridge and descended Into a little mountain park. The country was so much a primeval wilderness that a big bull moose stalked almost upon their camp before discovering the presence of a strange biped.' Big BUI snntched up a rifle and took a shot which sent the Intruder scampering. From somewhere In the distance came a faint sound. "What was that?" asked George. "Sounded like a shot. Mebbe it was an echo," returned Dud. "Came too late for an echo," Big Bill said. Again faintly from some far cornel of the basin the sound drifted. It was like the pop of a scarcely heard fire cracker. The men looked at one another and at their prisoner. "Think wo better break camp and drift V Asked Dud. "No. We're In a little draw here— as good a hiding place as we'd be like- A Man Staggered Drunksnly Into View. ly to find. Drive the horses Into tha brush, George. Well sit tight." Dud had been busy stamping oat the campfire while Holway was driv ing the horses Into the brush. "Mebbe you had better get the camp things behind them big rocks." Macy conceded. Kven cs be spoke there came the crack of a revolver almost at the en trance to the draw. «r One of the men swore softly. The gimlet eyes of the old miner fastened on the spot where In another moment! his hoped-for rescuers would appear, j A man staggered drunkenly Into | view. He reeled halfway across the ' mouth of the draw and stopped. His j eyes, questing dully, fell upon the camp. He atsred, as If doubtful whether they had played him false, then lurched toward the waiting group. "Lost and all In," Holway said In a whisper to Dud. The other man nodded. Neither of them made a move toward the stranger, who stopped In front of their camp and looked with glazed eyes from one to another. His face was drawn and haggard and lined. Ex treme exhaustion showed In every movement He babbled Incoherently. "Don't you see he's starving and out of his head?" snapped Holt brusquely. "Get blrti grub, pronto." The old man rose and moved toward the suffering man. "Come, pard. Tha's all right Sit down right here and go to It as the old sayln' Is." He led the man to a place beside Big Bill and made him sit down. "Better light a Ore, boys, and get some coffee on. Don't civs him too orach solid grab ! at 'first" The famished man ate what was Riven him and clamored for more. .1 "Coming up noon, patdner," Holt ; told him soothingly. "Now till us | how come you to get lost." ! The man nodded gravely. "Hit that Hne low. Qord. Hit 'er low. Only three yards to gain." "Plumb bughouse," commented Dud, chewing t6bacco stolidly. "Out of his head—that's all. He'll be right enough after he's fed up and had a good sleep. But right now he's sure some Exhibit A. Look at the bones sticking through his cheeks," Big Bill commented. "Come, Old-Timer., Get down to your collar to It. Once more now. | Don't 1' down on the Job. All together, now." The stranger clucked to an Imaginary horse and made a motion of lifting w|tb his hands. "Looks like his hnwss Is bogged down In Fifty Mile swamp," suggested Holt %Qg>ks like," agreed Dud. The Old miner said no more. But his eyes narrowed to shining slits. If this I man had come through Fifty Mile swamp, he must have started from the river. That probably meant that he bad come from Kuslak. He was a young man, talking the Jargon of a college football player. WUhout doubt he was, In the old phrasing of the North, n checlmko. trj | Gideon Holt's sly brain moved keen- I ly to the possibility that he could put I a name to this humqn derelict they I had picked up. He began to see It I as more than a possibility, as even a probability, at least as a flfty-flfty chance. A sardonic grin hovered about the corners of hl« grim mouth. It would be a strange freak of irony If Wally Selfrldge, to prevent a meeting between him and the government land ngent, had sent him a hundred miles into the wilderness to save the life of Gordon Elliot and so had brought about the meeting that otherwise would never have taken place. CHAPTER IX. Ths Rah-Rah Boy Functions. Big Bill grumbled a good deal at the addition to the party. • It would be de cidedly awkward If this stranger should become rational and under stand the status of the camp be had Joined. The word of old HoK alone might be negligible, but supported by that of a disinterested part* It would be a very different matter. Btlll, there was no help for It They would have to take care of the man until he was able to travel. At the worst, Big Bill could give him a letter to Selfrldge explaining things and so pass the buck to that gentleman. Old Holt had, with the tacit consent of his guards, appointed himself as a sort of nurse to the stranger. Early In the evening the sick man feti Into a sound sleep, from which ha did not 1 awake until morning. George was away looking after tho packhorses. Dud was cooking breakfast, and Big i Bill, his rifle close at hand, was chop ping young firs fifty feet back of the camp. The cook also had a gun, load ed with buckshot, lying on a box be side him, so that they were taking no Aances with their prisoner. The old miner turned from rearrang ing the boughs of green fir on the smudge to see that his patient was awake and his mind normal. The quiet, steady eyes resting upon him told him that the delirium had passed. "Pretty nearly all In, wasn't IT" the young man said. The answer of Old Holt was an odd one. "Yep. Seven —eleven —fifteen. Take 'er easy, old man," he said In his shrill, high voice an he moved toward the man In the blcnkets. Then, In a low tone, while ho pretended to ar range the bedding over the stranger, he asked a quick question.l "Are you Elliot?" • "Yea." "Don't tell them. Talk football lingo ns If you was still out of your hald." Unit turned«and called to Dud. "Says he wants some breakfast." "On the way," the cook answered. Holt seemed to l>e soothing the de lirious man. What he really suld was this. "Selfrldge has nrrnnged a plant for you at Kumatlub. The camp has been turned Inside out to fool you. They've brought cce here a prlmyier so as to keep rne from telling you the truth. Pst I Tune up now." Big Bill had put down his ax and was approaching. He was not ex actly suspicious, bat he did not be lieve In taking until cessiiry chances. "I tell you I'm out of training. Played the last fame, haven't waj Gome through with a square meal, you four-frfHher," demanded Elliot In a querulous voice. He turni-d to Maey. "look here, Cap. Haven't I played the game all fall? Don't I get what I want now we're through?" The voice of the young man was ex cited. His eyes had lost their quiet steadiness and roved restlessly to and fro. If Big Bill had held any doubts one glance dissipated them. "Sure you do. Hustle over and help Dud with the breakfast. Holt I'll look out for our friend." Elliot and Holt found no more i chance to talk together that morning. I Sometimes the young government of- I flciai lay staring straight In front of | him. Sometimes he appeased to (lore. I Again be would talk In the disjointed way of one not clear in the head. An opportunity came In the after noon for a moment A "Keep your eyes sktnned for a chance to lay out the guard tonight and get his gun," Holt said quickly. Gordon nodded. "I don't know that I've got to do everything Just as you say," he complained aloud for the benefit of George, who was passing on his way to the place where the ' horses were hobbled. I "Now—now I There ain't nobody i trying to boss you," Holt explained In a patient voice. i "They'd better not" snapped 'the In valid. "Some scrapper—that kid." said the i horse wrangler with a grin. , Macy took the first watch that i night He turned In at two after be t had roused I>ud to take his place. The cook had been on duty about an hour when Elliot kicked Hoft, who was sleeping beside blm, to make sure that \ be was_ ready. The old man answered | tfiTEfclTwrUi' another. w Presently Gordon got up, yawned and strolled toward the edge of the camp. 'Don't go and get lost young fel low," cautioned Dud. Gordon, on his way bade, passed be hind the guufd, who was sitting tailor fashion before a smudge with a muley ahotgun across his knees. "This ain't no country for checha koea to be wandering around without a keeper," the cook continued. "Looks like your folks wejtld have better sense than to let their tah-ruh boy—" He got no farther. Elliot dropped to one knee and hi* strong Angers closed fMWUy, Hla Btrong Fingers Closed on ths Out let of the Man. on the gullet of the man so tightly that not even a groan eould escape him. The old miner, waiting with every muscle ready and every nerve under tension, flung aside his blanket and hurled himself at the guard. It took him less time than It takes to tell to wrest the gun from the cook. He got to bis feet Just aa Big BUI, his eyes and brain stIU fogged with sleep, sat up and. began to take notice of the disturbance. "Don't move," warned Holt sharply. "Better throw your hanila up. No monkey business, do you hear? I'd aa lief blow a hole through yqu as not." Big Bill turned bitterly to Elliot, "So you were faking all the time, young fellow. We save your life and you round on us. You're a pretty slick proposition us a double-crosser." "And that ain't all," chirped up nolt blithely. "Let me Introduce our friend to you, Mr. Big Bill Macy. Tills is Gordon Elliot, the land agent ap pointed], to look over the K a mat la h claims. Selfrldge gave you lads this penitentiary Job so as I wouldn't meet Elliot when he reached tho camp. If he hadn't been so darned anxious about it our young friend would have died here on the divide. But Mr. Self rldge klndlg outfitted a party and sent us a hundred miles Into the hills to rescue the perishing, as the old sayln' goes. Consequence Is, Elliot and me meet up and have that nice confiden tial talk after all. The ways of Prov idence is strange, as you might any, Mr. Macy." "Your trick," Big Bill sul lenly. "Now wlrat are you going to do with us?" "Not a thing—going to leave you right' here to prospect Wild Goose creek," answered Holt blandly. "Dur den says there's gold up here —heaps of It." Bill Macy condemned Durden In lan guage profane and energetic. He didn't ntrp at Durden. Holt came In for a share uf It, aiao Elliot and Half , ridge. "Cut It ont. Bill. That line o' talk don't buy you anything," sold Hoi way cortly. "What's the use of bertflng?" "Now you're shouting, my friend," agreed old (ildeou. "I guess, Killot you can loosen up on the chef's throat awhile, lie's had persuading enough don't you reckon? 11l sit here and sorter keep the boys company while you cut the pack-ropes and bring 'em here. But first I'd step In and unload all the hardware they're packing. If you don't one of them Is likely to get anxious. Fd hate to see any of them commit suicide with none of their friends here to say, 'Don't lie look nat ural T " Elliot brought back the paek-ro|ies M, K> cut them Into suitable lengths. Holt's monologue rambled on. He was garrulous and affable. Not for a long time had he enjoyed blnmelf no mueh. Gordon tied the bands of Big Hill behind blm, then roped his feet togeth er, after which he did the name for Holway. The old miner superintended the Job and was not satisfied till he had added u few extra knots on his own behalf. . "That'll hold thern for awhile. I shouldn't wonder. Now If you'll Just cover friend chef with this Ha wed-o IT gat, Killot. I'll throw the diamond hitch over what supplies we'll need to get back to Knmatiah. I'll take one bronch and leave the other to the con victs." said Holt cheerfully. "Forget that convict stuff." growled Macy. "With Mticdonuld back of us 1 and the Guttonchlldx back of him, 1 you'll have a hectic time getting any- ' thing on us." "That might be true if these folks ' were back of you. But are they? : Course I ain't any Sherlock Holmes, : but It don't look to me Ilk* they'd play 1 any such fool system as this." After Holt had packed one of the animals he turned ta Elliot. "I reckon we're ready." Under orders from Elliot Dud fixed up the smudges und arranged the mos quito netting over the bound men so as to give them all the protection pos sible. To be continued.
