She was very serious now, for by her
mounting sne naa, sne realized, so arranged
matters that at a time when
John Stnart \yehster's very life depended
upon his Immediate departure
from Buenaventura, he was planning
to stay and face the music. Just to be
obstlnnte. "You must reconsider your
decision to remain In this country,"
she Insisted. "Your life may be the
price of liberty of action, you know.
Isn't Billy capable of developing the
ndne after you advance the cash?"
"I wouldn't advance him a cent for
his mine until I had Investigated It
mVself."
"Then you should make some arrangements
to safeguard yourself
while making the Investigation, and :
leave 8obrante Immediately thereafter. ;
Isn't that a sensible proposition?" i
"Very?If I felt like leaving Sobrnnte.
But I do not. If that mining
concession Is a potential winner, I'll
have to stick around and make a winner
out of It before I go away and
lenve Bill In charge. Besides, Tm worried
about Bill. He's full of malarial
fever, and last night I got thinking
about him and decided to send him
back to the Colorado mountains for a
few months. I want some regular doctors
to work on Bill so he'll be fit when
he gets back on the Job."
As a matter of fact, this Idea of sending
Billy to the United States had but
that moment occurred to Jack Webster;
he reflected now that this plan
was little short of an Inspiration. It
would give Billy and Dolores an opportunity
to marry and have a honeymoon
; It would leave him free of her
disturbing presence, and enable him to
leave Sobrante when the Gearys should
return. He resolved to speak to Billy
snout it.
Dolores' voice broke In upon his cunning
reflections. "But Billy tells me
you nlrendy have a fortune suttlelvnt
for the needs of a caliph without a
court. VVuj i'iok your precious life to
acquire more? Money Isn't everything
in life."
"No, but the game Is."
"What gurne? Mining?"
"The gatue of life."
"But this Is the game of death."
"Which makes life all the sweeter
If I can heat the game. Perhaps I can
better illustrate my point of view with
a story. Some years ago I was sent
to Arizona to examine a mining property
tmd report upon It; If I advised
Its purchase, my principals were prepared
to buy at my valuation. Well,
when I arrived, I found a miserable
shanty close to a shaft and dump, and
In the shanty I found a weather-beaten
couple. The woman was probably
forty h*t looked fifty. The man had
never been anything but a hard-rock
miner? *4 n -lay had been the limit of

knowing nothing but drudgery and
poverty and continuing that existence
after marriage. For 20 years she had
been darning her husband's socks,
washing his clothes, and cooking his
meals. Even after they uncovered the
ledge, It wasn't worth any more than
the country rock to tliem unless they
.could sell It, because the man had
neither the money nor the ability to
develop It himself. He even lacked
the ability to sell It, because It re
quires real ability to unload any kind
of a mine for $1,000,000, and real
nerve on the part of the man who
buys. I examined the mine, decided
It was cheap at $1,000,000, and so reported
to my principals. They wired
me to close, and so I took a 00-day
option In order to verify the title.
"Well, time passed, and one bright
day I rode up to that shanty with a
deed and a certified check for $1,000,000
In my pocket; whereupon I discovered
the woman had had a change
of heart and bucked over the traces.
No, slree! She would not sign thet
there deed?and Inasmuch as the claim
was community property, her signature
was vitally necessary. She asketi
me so many questions, however, as to
the size of the stamp mill we would (
install and how many miners would
he employed on the Job, that finally I !
saw the light and tried a shot in the
dark. "My dear Mrs. Sknggs," I said, j
"If you'll sign this deed and save us .
nil a lot of litigation over this option
you and your husband have given me,
I'll do something handsome. I will?
on my word of honor?I'll give you the
exclusive boarding house privilege at
-this mine."
"And what did she snv fhillnli?"
"She wild: 'Oive me the pen, Mr.
Webster, and please excise my hnndwrltinu;
I'm .that nervous In business
matters.'" x
Dolores' silvery Inuffhter rippled 1
through tlie room. "Rut I don't see .

point of view. You would not, of i
course. expect me to have the same
point of view as Mrs. Skaggg of Art?onn."
"Certainly not."
"All right! Listen to this! In 1007,
at the height of the boom times In
Goldfleld. Nev., I was worth $1,00(T,TKX).
On the first dny of October I could !
have cashed In my mining stocks for ,

own assessment work, drove a pick
Into my foot, developed blood poison,
went to the hospital, and was nice and
helpless when the panic came along
the middle of the month. The bank
went bust, and my ready cash went
with It: I couldn't give niy mining
stocks away. Everybody knew I was
a pauper?everybody but the doctor.
He persisted In regarding me as a millionaire
and sent me a bill for $5,000."
"How perfectly outrageous! Why,
Cnllph, I would have let Mm sue me."
"I would have, too?but I didn't. I
Induced him to settle for $100,000
shares of stock In my copper prospect.
The par value was $1 a share, and 1
was going to sell a block at 10 cents,
but In view of his high professional
standing I let him have it for a nickel
a share. I Imagine he still has It. 1
bought hack later all the other stock
I sold, because the property was
worthless, and In order to be a sport
I ofTered him $500 for his block, but

"Oh. Caliph 1"

"Rut you could go In a hack this
morning nnd avoid that uncertainty."
"The millionaire drudge I told you

"Then why," she persisted, "did you

"But why?"
"Thnt," he answered gravely, "Is a

"Women delight to pry Into men's

"I know It. Hnd a friend once?
married. Every night after dinner he
used to sit and stare Into the Are and
his wife used to ask him what he was
thinking about. He would look up at
her owllshly and tell her It was something
he couldn't explain to her. hecause
she'd never understand It?and
that was nil he would tell her. although
right frequently, I dare say.
he. felt like telling her some things
she con Id understand? She brooded
over his secret until she couldn't stand
It any r'.ore. and one day she packed
her duds and (lew home to mother.
He let her stay there three months,
and tiuully one day he sent he) a biue
print of what he'd been thinking
about."
"Wliat was It?"
"An Internul-coiubustlon engiue. Tou

"Stop right there, Caliph. I'm r<buked.
I'll let you get set to

"1 didn't mean that. Yon let me
get set yesterday?and 1 figured It all
out then?and last night?and a minute
ngo. I don't care to do any more
thinking today. IMease talk to me."
"And you refuse to tell iue why you
cabled your frleml, Jerome?"
"You will never know. I told you
It's a secret."
"Bet you J find out."
"How much? That $10,000 you expect
to make from the ttour-gold In
your black-sand claim? And, by the
way, $10, please. 1 won It for guessing
you were Interested In a mining
proposition."
She returned to him the bill she had
won from him the day before. "Ten
thousand dollars suits me. Of course,
I haven't got the money Just now, and
this is what Billy calls a finger bet,
bt|t if I lose, 1 guarantee to pay. Are
we betting even money? I think that
Is scarcely fair. Under the circumstances
1 should he entitled to odds."
"Nothing doing! No odds on a bet
of this nature to u seeress who has already
jarred ine from soul to vermiform
appendix by making good ! You
know too blamed much already, and
how you discovered It Is a problem
that may drive me crazy yet."
After breakfast they repaired to the
veranda to await the result of Webster's
experiment with Don Juan Cafetero.
Sure enough, the wreck hud again
returned, he was seated on the edge of
the veranda waiting for them; as they
approached, he held up a grimy, quivering
hand, in the palm of which lay
?a live-dollar gold piece.
"What?" Mr. Webster said, amazed.
"Still unchanged!"
"I thried to cliunge It at half a dozen
cantlnaa," Don Juan wheezed, "but
divll a bit av systlm did any av thlm

"Bravo I Three long, loud, raucous

cried. "Was It terrlbti task to
come back without a drink, Don Juan 7"
He shivered. "A shky-Wu* kangaroo

does It feel to win back your selfrespect?"
Webster asked him. . t
"Beggln' the youug leddy's pardon
?It feels like bell, sor."
"Caliph, don't be cruel," Dolores '
pleaded. "Call a waiter and give Don
Juan what you promised him."
So Webster went Into the hotel bar
and returned presently with a bottle
of brandy and a glass, which he filled
and held out toward Don Juan. "One
of the paradoxes of existence, Don
' Juan," he observed, "lies In the fact
that so many of the things In life that
are good for us are bad for us. This
Jolt will disperse the menagerie and
j quiet your nerves, but nevertheless It
Is a nail In your coffin."
Webster, accompanied by his pro- '
tege, strolled uptown on a shopping
tOUr. Here he outfitted Don limn
| neatly but not gaudily and added to
bis own personal effects two hlghpoWer
sporting rifles, three large-caliber
automatic pistols, and a plentiful
supply of ammunition?after
which he returned to the hotel, first
having conducted Don Juan to a barber
shop and given him Instructions
to report for orders and his mid-day
drink the Instant he should have acquired
the outward evidences of rei
spectablllty. !
At the hotel Webster found two
messages awaiting him. One was from
Billy deary, up at San Miguel de Fad- |
ua, advising him that everything was
In readiness for a trip to the mine;
the other was a note from Rlcardo
, 1'uey, but signed with his alias of
Andrew Rowers. Webster read:
"Dear Friend:

! and at luncheon was fortunate enough !
. to tind Dolores in the dining room ,
! when he entered.
"I'm going up to San Miguel de Tad- j
tin this afternoon," he announced as
I lie took his seat. A look of extreme
| anxiety clouded her lovely face, and
: lie noticed it. "Oh, there's uo risk,"
he hastened to assure her. "That

I "Quite n while. I'll ho busy nround

! of weeks, surveying and assaying and
what-all; then, while waiting for our
machinery and supplies to arrive from
the United States. I shall devote my
, spare time to hunting and fishing and
j reforming I>on Juan Cafetero. The
cool hills for-mine."
"What a selfish, unsociable proi
grain!" she reflected. "I wonder If
| It will occur to him to come down
I here once In a while and take me for
a drive on the Malecon and talk to
me to keep me from dying of ennui
before I meet Rlcardo. I'll wait and
see If he suggests It."
However, for reasons best known to
himself and the render, Mr. Webster
made no such Interesting suggestion;
so she decided that while he was tre(
inendously nice, he was, nevertheless,
a very queer man and thoroughly exasperating.
Just before the train pulled ont
John Stuart Webster took Dolores'
hand. "Good-by, Seeress," he said
very soberly. "The trail forks here
for the first time?possibly the last,
although I'll try to be on hand to
make good on my promise to present
I you to your brother the day he oc,
cuples the palace. However If 1
i shouldn't he In town that day. Just
; pro up and Introduce yourself to hint.
It's been wonderful to have met you
I and known you, even for such a brief
period. I shall never forget you and
the remarkable 24 hours Just passed."
"'I shall not soon forget them myself,
Caliph?nor you," she added.
"Haven't you been a busy little cup
of tea. Caliph! Within 24 hours after
landing, you have changed your mind
three times, lost the best Job In the
world, had your fortune told, been
marked for slaughter, acquired n newfound
friend and commenced actively
and with extraordinarily good results
the work of reforming him, soused a
gentleman in the fountain, spurned
another with the tip of your boot,
rode with tne around the Malecon and
listened to the band concert, bundled
poor Hilly off to San Miguel de Padua,
discovered my brother presumed
to be dead, and received a reprieve
from your enemies, while they perfect
new plans for destroying you.
Really, you are quite a caliph."
"Oh, there's a dash of speed In the
old horse vet. Miss Itnev." he ssanred
her laughingly. "Now listen; don't tell
anybody about your brother, and don't
tell Hilly about my adventures since
he left for San Miguel de l'adua."
"But I'm not liable to see Billy "
"Yes, you are?extremely liable. I'm
going to send him back to you as soon
as I enn spare him, because I know
you'll he lonesome and bored to death
In this lonesome town, and Bill Is
bully good company. And I don't want
you to tell him about the tuess I'm
Id, because It would only worry him;
he can't aid me, and the knowledge
that I was In any danger, real or
fancied, would he sufficient to cause
him to rebel against my plana for his
honeym?for his vacation. He'd Insist
on sticking around to protect me."
He looked dbwn at her little hand
where It rested In bis, so big and
brown end hard; with hit free band I
be petted her band paternally. "Good- '
I by, Seerem," he said again; and tarn
just n? the train started to move out
of the station.
"Goo?good-b.v?Caliph," she celled
mournfully. Theu to herself: "Bless
bis heart, he did remember I'd be
terribly lonely, after nil. He Isn't a
bit queer, but oh. dear, he Is so exasperating.
I could buuip Ills kind

her buck on the train, fearful that
from where he clung on the steps be
could, even at that distance, see the
sudden rush of teurs that blinded Iter.
However, Don Juan Cafetero, with Ills
rubicund nose to the window of the
last coach, did see them?saw her

"Why, shure, the poor darllnt's cryIn',"

CHAPTER XII.
Arrived at San Miguel de Padua
about midnight, Webster found the
climate temperate. In fact, decidedly
cool. Billy was waiting for them and
was properly amazed, but not scandalized
when Don Juan Cu Otero,
abusing the station hands in a hurrl
ble hodgepodge of English and Spin
Isli. superintended the landing of the
baggage on the platform.
"I had to bring him with me." Web
stor explained. "I'm going to wean
him, and after that baby quits cry
ing for his bottle, believe me. Bill,
we'll have the prince of a foreman for
our mine. Quite a character. Is Don
Juan, when you dig down into him."
"Die far ennni?h Into tlint ?.,.i

t<'d. "However. .Tolin, I'm afraid h<'
won't explode. The powder's damp

"Fit ns n tiddle. Hill."
"How does she slack tip on better

"She's a skookum lass. She sent
her hue and I promised to send you

They were up at daybreak, and
with three heavily laden pack mutes
In charge of two semi-naked mozos,
while the cook Jogged comfortably
along on his big splay feet In the rear,
they set out for Billy's concession.
For .'10 miles they followed the highway.
and then debouched to the southwest
along a neglected rond just wide
enough to accommodate the clumsy
ox carts of the peons. The country
was sparsely settled and evidently given
over to stock raising.
Darkness had descended on the valley
by the time they had pitched camp
nt the claim. They were up at
duwn the following morning, however,
nnd Immediately after breakfast Jack
Webster went to his duffle bag and
brought forth a dozen little ennvas

"Now tlien, William, my son," he announced,
"light the lantern and we'll ,

They clambered up the dump to a
point where two light steel rails pro- ;
Jected over the edge. On top of the
duiup, 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
disappeared therein. I
Webster stood a moment, looking
around him. "How did you happen to
locate this ledge?" he demnuded. '
"Was It grass root stuff, with an out- J
cropping l|ere at the foot of the hill?
No, of course, It wasn't. You haven't i
enough ore on the dump. What the
devil were you driving at?"

Is mlae. Jack, and I didn't locate the .
ground originally. I came into this
valley from the south, and as I worked
up the range, I found a bald spot
close to the top of the hill, and a gallows
frame over an abandoned shaft.
Naturally, I went down the shaft to
see why It had been abandoned. To
my surprise, I found a 12-foot vein
of free-milling ore, on a contact between
aiuleslte and Silurian limestone.
The ledge stood straight up and down,
which seemed to argue great depth."
"Somebody had found an outcropping
on top of that hill," Webster declared
with conviction, "and sunk a
shaft on the vein to open it up and determine
Its width and direction. And
what did you do, Bill?"
"I got my trunslt and ran a line
from the shaft on the hill, following
the direction in which the ledge was
running, and marked out the exact
point toward the base of the hill where
I would start my tunnel to cut the
-ledge. To my surprise,_ I discovered
my predecessor had selected that
lurniii ui apuu ou i vvnuni my * mi- .
culatlons and then sat down to think
It over. I remembered that frequent
and violent earthquakes occur lu this
country, and it seemed to me a rea- !
sonahle hypothesis to blame some au- |
clent and particularly violent seismic i
disturbance, which had fuulted the
vein and set It over a considerable ,
distance. According to my calculation.
that other man should have cut !
the vein at 83 feet?yet he had gone
on IOC before quitting. So 1 got half
a dozen peons and drove ahead 111
feet on the other feilow's tunnel; and
by lleck, Johnny. I cut the vein!"
"Bully boy! And then?"
"I drifted ten feet on the vein, and
the ore suddenly guve out. It stopped i
Just like that, proving I'd come to
the upper end of the vein where It '
had fuulted; so I Just worked up and
"around, stopelng and sinking a winze
here and there, until Just about the
time my cash reserve was getting pretty
low I picked up the true vein and
opened It up for the full width. Cotne
In. and I'll show you."
They entered the tunnel, to the slg
nal dismay of dozens of large hats.
When they reached the vein, Webster
broke off samples of the ore every
three or four feet, crawled after Hilly
up through the stope and back to the
true vein, from the face of which he
also took numerous samples; then be
crawled out Into the sunshine again,
hot, dirty, and perspiring.
"Billy, you'll be a real miner yet; i
see If you won't," was all the praise ;
"Billy. You'll Bo a Real Miner Yet."
