I'Te pot to go and hire a tnnle ot some other quadruped for Don Junn If we're lo avoid a late start In the morning. Good nipht. old fellow." They were up at daybrea!;, and .villi tliree heavily laden pack mules fn charge of two semi-naked mozoa, while the cook Jogged comfortably along on his big spiny feet In the rear, they set out fur Hilly'" concession. I'vr CO milts they followed the high way, and then dt-taut-hed to ihe ;t!ii west along a inflected road just wide enough to accommodate the clumsy os carts of the pon. Tlie country was sparsely rettled and evidently giv en over to Htoek raising. Ilirkness had deseemlod on the val ley by the tiife they had pttciw imp at the claim. They were up at dawu the following morning, however, and Immediately after breakfast Jack Webster went to his duffle bag and brought f-rth a doueu Ifttle canvas sacks and a prospector's hammer. "Now then, William, my sin." he an nounced, "light the lantern and we'll see if you've forget ten all I taught you about mining." They clambered s!p the dump to a point where two 1'ght steel rails pro jected over the edge. On top of the dump, lying beside the rails, were two small, rusty, steel ore cars; the rails led from the edge of the dump to the mouth of a tunnel In the hillside and dis:ipieared therein, Webster stood a moment, looking around him. "How did you happen to locale this ledge?" he demanded. "Was It grass root stuff, with an out cropping here at the foot of the hill? No. of course. It wasn't. You haven't enough ore on the dump. What the devil were you driving at?" "Only a small portion of that dump Is mine, Jack, ami I didn't locate the ground originally. I came Into this valley from the south, and as I worked up the range, 1 found a bald spot close to the top of the hill, and a gal lows frame over an abandoned sluiTt. Naturally, I went down the shaft to see why it had Inen abandoned. To my sisrprlse, I found a 12-foot vein of free-milling ore, on a contact be tween andexlte and Silurian limestone. The ledge stood stialght up nnd down,, which seemed to argue great depth." "Somebody had found an outcrop ping on top of thnt hill," Webster de clared with conviction, "and sunk a shaft on the vein to ojien it up nnd de termine Its width and direction. And what did you do, Hill?" "I got my transit nnd nui a line from the shaft on the hill, following the 'direction in w hich the ledge w as running, nnd marked out the exact point toward the base of the hill where I would start my tunnel to cut tha bilge. To my surprise, I discovered my predecessor had selected that Identical spot. So I verified my cal culations nnd then sat down ;o think It over. I remembered that frequent and violent earthquakes occur lu this country, and It seemed to n:o a rea sonable hypothesis to blame some an cient and particularly violent seismic disturbance, which had faulted the vein and set it over a considerable disinnce. According to my calcula tion, that other limn should have cut the vein at KJ feet yet he had gone on Id- before quitting. So I got half a dozen peons and drove nhead 1! f.-et on the other fellow's tunnel; and by Heck, Johnny, I cut the vein I" "Hlllly boy! And then?" "I drifted ten feet on the vein, and the ore suddenly gave out. It stopped Just like thnt. proving I'd come to the upper end of the vein where It had faulted; M I Just worked np and around, stopeir.g and sinking a winze here and there, until Just nbont the time my ensh reserve was getting pret ty low I picked tip the true vein nnd opened It Up for the full width. Come In. and I'll show yon." They entered the tunnel, to the sig nal dismay of dozens of large bats. When they reached the vein. Webster broke off samples of the ore every thne or four feet, crawled after Hilly no through the stojM nnd hack to the true vein, from the face of which he also took nuniiwous samples; then he crawled out Into the sunshine again, hot. dirty, nnd perspiring. "Wily, you'll he a real m'ner yet; see if you won't," was nil the praise mm "Billy, You'll Bs a Fltal Miner Yet he tendered his youthful partner, stari.it- heldc him in anticipation ol a compliment, as Webster got out bis fr?rtuMe fcsw j cu'.lit. out of nn o:liiTwle sure thing. How ever." he added, recalling the note re- elved from Ulcnrdo ltuey just liefo;- his departure from Uuenavetiturs and rellocting that to be forewarnel Is to he forearmed, "we'll accept the gam hie. That rascal can't live forever, and he may be eliminated before he causes its any trouble." "What will It cost ns to got this mine on a pacing basis. Johnny?" "Will, lack hone. I'd f.-.rure on spending nt least $H.i.(sXl; hut I dare say, taking Into consideration the low cost of labor In So'.rante and the raw. nutural resources of power and tim ber right oa tl e ground, we ought to put this d -ill over for S.VUKkl at the outside. I'reUe he. I have cash enou.h to t'o the trick without culling in any help, ami such betng the case, we'll not waste any time but hop to the Job in a hurry and make the fur fly." "Ulght. Jack. What's the program?" "Well, lirst off, son. I'm uot going to stay In this country and lose my self managing this mine. That's your Job, because you're young ai.d unim portant in your profession and have the ability to get away with the Job. You can afford to spend the next 13 years here, but I cannot. I can only afford to come down here every cou ple of years nnd relieve you for a va cation." "That's the way I figured It, Jack." "All right then. Hill, let us start In by giving you your first vacation. If you're going to dig In here and make the fur My. you've got to be in tip-top physical condition and you are thin and gaunted nnd full of chills and fe ver. Just before I left Huenaventura I ca sheil a draft for $,".000 on my let ter of credit t the Hanco Nacional, and placed .It to the credit of jour account there. "Tomorrow morning yon will take your horse, one pack mule, nnd one Inoito and ride for San Miguel de Pad ua, where you will take the train for Huenaventura. In Huenaventurn you may do what you blame please, but If 1 were you, boy, I'd try to get mar tied and go back to the C. S. A. for my honeymoon. And when I finally hit a town thnt contained some reg ular doctors I d let them paw meover and rebabhitt me nnd overhaul my bearings nnd put m In such nice run ning order I'd be firing on all 12 cyl inders nt once.- "And when I was feeling tin-top once more I'd wire old John Stuart Webster and tell him so, after which I'd stand by for a cable from the said sourdough inviting me to return and take up my labors." Hilly's wnn yellow face lighted up like a sunrise on the desert "I guess that plan's kind of pour," he nn nounced feelingly. "You're right, Jnck. I'm In rotten condition and I ought to he right before I start Still, If I should arrange to get married be fore I leave, I'd like mighty well to have a good man and true see me safely over the hurdles." "That's nice, son, but I haven't time to be your best man. Arranging the honeymoon lets me out. Hill. I'm In a hurry to linish here and get back, so the sooner we both siart our pros pective Jobs the sooner we'll finish. Have a quiet little marriage. Hill, without any fuss or feathers or voices breathing oVr Eden. What are the odds, provided you get hitched prop erly? Hesh'.es. I'm In nwrtal dread of that town of Huenaventura. The sew er system Is bad; It's rotten with fe ver; and you'd better get that girl out of It P. I). Q., and the quicker the better. Myself, I prefer to stay up here In these mountains: In a tem perate climate where there are no mosquitoes." Hilly saw that Webster was serious and would resent any interference la his plans. "All right. Jack," be as sented. "You're the bos," "Fine. Now, Hill, you listen ,t0 fa ther nnd be guided accordingly. When ycu get to Huenaventura, wire the Hrngham Engineering company of iH'tiver, using my name, nnd tell th:'m to add to mv order given them last no los a personage than Don Klcardo I.ulz Kuey. ne Andrew Dowers.

"What the devil I Tou. Rick, the government cut-up. What are you do ing In these parts?" Webster rode np and shook bands. "Oh. I'm Robin Hooding It around this part of the country. It Is bo se cluded, yon know, and Sarros hasn't any friends or any telegraph lines or any garrisons up this way. I beard In Snn Miguel de Padua that you wera camped yonder, and I was on my way over to confer with you on matters of state. Met your friend, Geary, at El Huen Amlgo a couple of week ago, Just before he sailed for the Unit ed States. He was telling me you had to have a lot of tools for road building, so I cabled In a secret ci pher to the Sobrantean revolutionary Junta In New Orleans to ship these tools to you Immediately. They ar rived on the last trip of the Atlanta and now repose In Leber's warehouse) waiting for you to call and removs them." "You scoundrel! What have you sent me?" "A couple of hundred rifles and threo machine guns, branded axes, picks, shovels, plows, and so on. I also rnn In three cases of ammunition, labeled grindstones, two more cases disguised ns bolts, and quite several thousand labeled nails In kegs. I should feel rather sorry fr you If my friend, StVfTos, should get suspicious and Investigate, but I hnven't any fear that he will. You see, lie knows you're here on legitimate business. He has Investigated and learned that you are a bona fide mliring engineer of con siderable reputation nnd then, you know, your friend. Geary, dickered with him for the concession. The min ing property you are about to devel o belongs to the people, not to Sar ros; yet he has bartered It away and will divert the royalty to his own pocket Instead of the public treasury." "Hura-in-ra I What do you want m to do with all those munitions con signed to me?" "Arrange with Leber to keep them there. until you get ready to build jour road Into the mine. I want them there when my American mercenaries arrive In Huenavcutura. Dy the way, you are going to Import these mer cenaries for me. They are American miners and road builders In the em ploy of the Honda Mining 4 Develop-, tnent company, which is i c if name of your enterprise. I hope jw II like the name, Webster.

"1 guess lhat'a about all of your Job, Dill. As for me, I'll camp right here. I'll have a denl of surveying to do nnd I plan to sweat the booze ont of that Cnfferty person.

I- hava no desire to mix In the politics of this rountry" "Yon have some desire, however, to mix In Its wealth," Klcardo reminded hlia. -Well?" "I'm the only man that ran help yon. Dy the way, do not order your machinery shlpjicd nntH after I am seated firmly on the throne of my fa ther."

We had to cook np a dirty deal tike that to save your life. Of course, now that I have warned yon In time, yon are safe. We schemed a proposition, however, that worked both ways. It enabled ns to save yon and to tar ns. by permitting the shipment, free of suspicion, of arms for the relels 'that are to attack the city from 'with in.

"We'll have to carry thera, I guess," "Well, I'll have a small auto-truck delivered In Ruenaventcra by that time., Y'ou might arrange to armor It with sheet steel; and with a cou ple of machine guns mounted In It and a crew of resolute Americans be hind the machine guns, you could ca per from one end of the city to the other nnd clear a path for your In fantry." "Thank you, my friend. I'll bor row the motor truck and arrange to armor It. That's a bully Idea. Are you bound for Duetmventnra now?" Webster nodded. "Then," Rlcardo suggested. "I'll meet you In my room at El Rucn Amlgo .next Wednesday night nt 11 nnd explain the details of my plans to you If you care to hear them. 1 think they're -air-tight my self, but somehow I think I'd feel more certain of them If you approve them." "I'll be there, Rick, and the day you run that outlaw Sarros off tha grass you'll know why I am for you." "Good-by, old man. You will nev er know how grateful you have made me." Ruey shook hands with Webster and rode off through the timber, leav Ing John Stuart Webster to pursue the even tenor of hla wny. nntil at length he arrived once more In Pui nnventura and sought accommodations at the Hotel Mateo. And there, aa be entered the lobby and gnxed through a glnss door across the patio and Into the vernnda. he saw that whlcli dis turbed him greatly. In a big wicker rocker Dolores Ruey sat, rocking gent-' ly and busily stitching on a piece of fancy work! Rilly Geary gone back to the Unit ed States, and Dolores was still In Dnennventura ! Amazing 1 Why, what the devil did Dilly mean by letting her have her own way like thnt? Ofconrse, they hadu't been married, or she would not now be ont there on the veranda, and, of course, they hadn't quarreled, because that wns an Impossibility, and, of course. Hilly hnd departed alone for the U. S. A else be would have returned to their enmp In the hills back of San Miguel de Padua. . "Well. I know what I'm going to do," Webster decided. "I'm not going to be led Into temptation while Ril ly's not on the Job so I'll not put tip nt the, Hotel Mateo after all. I'll Just sneak around to EI Ruen Aml go and tlx it with that old Mother Jenks not lo tip off my presence In town to Dolorea Ruey until I can get the lay of the lnnd and see what the devil hns happened to nil my well laid plans." Ho retreated out the front door and called a carriage, Into which he was nhnut to step, bag and baggage, when Don Juan Cafetero came rushing up lu great excitement "Sure, where are ye goln' now-, sor. Is there no room for ye In the Hotel Mateo?" "Their beds have Jiggers In them, and 1 Just remembered that," Web ster fibbed. "Hop In. John, and we'll drive nrontid to Mr. Geary's lodgings in El Rucn Am'go." "Rut I come trough the patio Just now," Don Junn explnlned, "an who should I meet but the young leddy." "You infernal scoundrel! Did you tell her I was In town?" "Sure I did, sor. An why not?" "None of your Infernal business. You'vo spoiled everything. You're a muddle-headed monkey and I've a great notion to let you get drunk again. Take the baggage back Into the hotel." Ion Junn Cafotero. greatly hum ble I and rebuffed, stepped aside and wrtched Webster stride hack Into the hniot "God love re. sor," lie mum bled, "knowin' what I know, Is It like ly I'd let ye make a monkey out av her or yerself?
