CHAPTER VI
There was no specific reason why
,Hi.lrt Fairchlld should follow Man-'frloe-
Rudalne an'l the young wnimm
yeh(y had been described to him an the
'ifli'.ugl.tor of Judge Richmond, who
mever he niljrht he. Resentment wan In
itiis heart resentment that the family
of Rodaine should he connected In
ifc'inie way with the piquant, rtlysterl
jpus little person he had helped out of
! predicament on the Denver road the
!Wny before. And. t his chagrin, the
.very fact that there was a connection
iadded a more sinister note to the es
capade of the exploded tire and the
Jmrsulnj: sheriff; as he walked along.
)ils f'"" "head. FalrMilld found
blmsclf wondering whether there
rould he more than mere coincidence
In It all, whether he was a part of
the Rndnine schemes and the ICodalne
trickery, whether
But he ceased Ida wondering to tutn
Wiarply Into n nearby drug More,
There absently to give an order at the
Soda fountain and stand watching the
pair who hnd stopped Just In front
Lot him on the corner. 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?
Then I'll be through."
"I ll he darned if I will, 'Nita !" Mc
Cauley backed against a shelf case In
mock self-defense. "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. You .ee, everybody's siippt-sei
to represont people of the days when
tliln.'s were booming around here
There'll he a llhlle orchestra, and n
:!ane iiler and everything like that,
anil a Tr h'lt of course there'll only
he Iml' atlon ll pior. Dut," she added
with q tick emphasis, "there'll be a lot
if thiis re illy rnl real keio and
roulette nnd everything like tlmt. and
everybody In the costume of thirty or
forty years ago. 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.
