She was the nie girl ; there could he no doubt of jthat, and he raged Inwardly as she chatted and chaffed with the man who looked down upon her with a smiling 'air of proprietorship which Instilled Instant rebellion In Fatrchlld's heart, ib'or did he know the reason for that, 'either. After a moment they parted, and Falrchlld gulped at his fountain drink. Fhe had hesitated, then with a quick 'decision turned straight Into the drug Store. "Buy a ticket, Mr. MoCatileyr she asked of the nian behind the counter. 'Tve sold twenty already, this morn ing. Only Ave more, and my work's over. Mease take the Ave, won't you?

"Every time you've got anything you want to get rid of, yon come in here and shove It oft on me. There's only four In my family nd four's all I'm going to take." He toesed four silver (Mlara on the show case and took the tickets. The girl tiemorred. "But how about the fifth one? I've tot to sell that too" . -Well, sell it to him!" And Fair Child, looking into the soda-fountain mirror, saw himself Indicated as the Jdrnsglst started toward the prescrip tlon case. ' There was a moment of awkward si lence at Falrchild cased intently into till soda glass, then with a feeling of queer excitement, set It on the marble '.counter and turned,. Anita Richmond was approaching In a stronger-like manner a ticket of some sort held before her. "Pardon me," she began, "but would you care to buy a ticket to the Old Times dance? It's a sort of munici pal thint'. gotten tip by the bureau of mines to celebrate the return of sil ver mining." "Hut I'm afraid I'm not much on ibnclng." "Voti don't l.nve to he. Nohody'll dance much except fhe ohl-fiih:on:d affairs.

I hurt you want to buy a ticket? It's the lust one I've got !" be added prettily. "When's It to her "A week from tomorrow night. Are you going to be here that long?" She realized the slip of her tongue und colored slightly. Falrchlld, recov ered now, reached into a pocket and carefully fingered the bills there. Then, with a quick motion, as he drew them forth, lie covered a ten dollar bill with a one-dollar note and thrust them forward. "Yes. I'll take the ticket." She handed It to him, thanked him, and reached for the money. As it passed Into her hand, a corner of the ten-dollar Mil revealed Itself, and she hastily thrust It toward hliu us though to return money paid by mis take, .lust ns quickly, she realized his purpose and withdrew her hand. "fill!" she exelnlnied, almost In n whisper, "I understand." She flushed and stood a second hesitant, flustered, her big eyes almost childish as they looked up Into his. "Y'ou you must think I'm a cad!" Then she whirled and left the store, nnd a slight smile came to the lips of Robert Falrchlld as he watched her hurrying across the. street. He had won a tiny victory, at least. With .8. new enthusiasm,, a greater desire than ever to win out In the fight which had brought him to Hindi, he hurried to the courthouse and the various technicalities which must be coped with before he mi'ld really call the nine I'oppy mine his own. It wn easier than he thought. A few signatures, and he was free to wand- through town to where Idlers had po'-ed out Kentucky gulch and to beg. ii the steep nscent up the nar row road on a tour of prospecting that would precede the more legal and more safe system of a surveyor.
