"You were right. sou.'* he finally announced. "This mine Is a humdinger and no mistake; if .vou and 1 live ten years we'll be worth $10,000,000 between us?maybe more." Billy's jaundiced eyes glowed hun- I grlly. "We'll put In a hundred stamps " "Well, we'll try ten for a starter," I..... ? . ?- . .. .. -?iTuon-i Miicrrupii'u oryty, "nna ami more na the tulne pays Its way. It's the sweetest mining proposition on earth?only, like all high-class goods, It has one flaw when you examine It closely." "You're crazy," Billy challenged. "Name the flaw!" ? "Sarros!" Webster replied smilingly. "That scoundrel makes a gamble out of an otherwise sure thing. However," lie added, recalling the note reel veil from Uieardo Uuey just before his departure from Buenaventura and reflecting that to he forewarned Is to he forearmed, "we'll accept the gamble. That rascal can't live forever, and he may he eliminated before he onuses us any trouble." "What will it cost us to get this mine on a paying basis. Johnny?" "Well, back home. I'd figure on spending at least $ltH>,0<>0; but I dare say. taking Into consideration the low cost of labor In Sobrnnte and the raw. natural resources of power and timber right on the ground, we ought to put this deal over for .<"il).0<M) at the outside. Praise be, I have cash enough to do the trick without calling in any help, and such being the case, we'll not waste any time but hop to the Job in a hurry and make the fur fly." "Ilight. Jack. What's the program?" "Well, first off, son, I'm not going to stay in this country and lose myself managing this mine. That's your job. been use you're voting and unimportant .in your profession and have the ability to get away with the Job. Y<m can afford to spend the next 1f? years here, but I cannot. 1 can only a fi ord to come down here every cottI pie of years and relieve you for a va ' t in mu. "That's the way I figured it, .lark." | "All right then, Hill, let us start in by giving you your lirsi viu'iiiiuii. If you ro going to dig in bore and make tin* fur tly. you've got to bo In tip-top physical condition?and you are thin and gauntcd and full of chills and fo\er. .lust before I loft Buenaventura 1 caslied a draft for ijto.noo on my letter of credit at the Banco Nacional, and placed it to the credit of your account there. "Tomorrow morning you will take your horse, one pack mule, and one nui/.o and ride for San Miguel de Padmi, where you will take the train for Buenaventura. In Buenaventura you may do what you blame please, hut if I were you, boy, I'd try to get married and go hack to the U. S. A. for niv honeymoon. And when I finally hit a town that contained some regular doctors I'd let them paw me over and rebabhltt me and overhaul my bearings and put me in such nice running order I'd be firing on all 12 cylinders at once. "And when I was feeling tip-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 lubors." Billy's wan yellow face lighted up like a sunrise on the desert "I guese that plan's kind of poor." he an nounced feelingly. "You're right, ' Jack. I'm In rotten condition and I ought to lie right before I stnrt. Still, j If I should arrange to get innrried he* 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, hut I haven't time to he your boat man. i Arranging the honeymoon lets me out, Bill. I'm In a hurry to finish here and get hack, so the sooner we both start our prospective Jobs the sooner we'll ttnlsh. Have a quiet little marriage. Bill, without any fuss or feathers or voices breathing o'er Eden. What are the odds, provided you get hitched properly? Besides, I'm In mortal dread of that town of Buenaventura. The sewer system Is had; it's rotten with fever; and you'd better get that girl out of It I'. I), y., and the quicker the better. Myself, I prefer to stay up here in these mountains In n temperate climate where there are no mosquitoes." Hilly saw that Webster was serious and would resent any Interference In his plans. "All right, Jnck," he aasented. "you're the boss." "Fine. Now, Bill, you listen to father and he guided accordingly. When you get to Buenaventura, wire the Bingham Fnglneering company of Denver, using my name, and tell them to add to my order given them Inst month and held for shipping directions, 12 dozen picks, 12 dozen shovels, 12 dozen mattocks, say six doxen axes, brush knives, a big road plow, and whatever other things you happen to think of and which would come in handy when building our road. Also, IVI mn unil irut l/i NT,1**1 Mrlinino K***? .* stanch three-ton motor truck.

Bill. Ak for me, I'll camp right tiere. I'll hhve a deal of surveying to do and I plan to sweat the booze >iit of that Cnfferty person. I'll make Don Juun my chain man and run the tall off him. Tlien I'll be bus*- w".n preliminary plans, nrrnnulr?K labor nnd so on. and when I'm idle I'll go hunting." In conformity with tills plan, therefore, Billy said good-by to his frleud and packed out for San Miguel de Padua bright and early next morn Ing. During the following ten days Webster managed to keep himself fairly busy around the camp at the mine; then for a week he hunted and fished, and finally, when that began to pall on him, his agile mind returned to business and the consideration of the possibility of a flaw In Billy's title to the claim; whereupon he suddenly decided to retuni to Buenaventura and Investigate that title fully before proceeding to throw dollars right and left. At the head of his little cavalcade, therefore, he. rode out one morning for the railroad, whereat providence, In Its Inscrutable . wisdom, ordained that en route he should fall In with no less a personage than Don Klcnrdo Lulz Ruey, ne Andrew Bowers. HI Mounted, Armed and Alone. cnrdo was mounted, armed, npd alone, and at sight of Webster he shouted with delight und spurred toward him. "What the devil! You, Itlek, the government cut-up. What are you doing in these parts?" Webster rode up and shook hands. "Oh.^l'm ltohin Hooding It around this part of the country. It Is so secluded, you know, and Sarros hasn't any frieuds or any telegraph lines or any garrisons up this way. I heard in San Miguel de Padua that you were camped yonder, and I was on my way over to confer with you on matters of state. Met your friend, Geary, at I-jI Burn Amiga a couple "f wivkR ago. Just before he adlled for the United States, lie was telling me you had to have a lot of tools for road building, so ] cabled III a secret cipher to the Sobrantean revolutionary junta In New Orleans to ship these tools to you Immediately. They arrived 011 the last trip of the Atlnntu and now repose In Leber's warehouse waiting for you to call and remove them." "You scoundrel 1 What have you sent me?" "A couple of hundred rifles and three machine guns, branded axes, picks, shovels, plows, and so on. I also ran In three cases of ammunition, labeled grindstones, two more cases disguised as bolts, and quite several thousand labeled nails In kegs. I should feel rather sorry for you if my friend, Sarroe, should get suspicions and Investigate, but I haven't any fear that he will. You see, he knows you're here on legitimate business. lie has investigated and learned that you are a bona nde mining engineer of considerable reputation?and then, you know, your friend, Geary, dickered with him for the concession. The mining property you are about to develop belongs to the people, not to Sarros; yet he has bartered it away and will divert the royalty to his own pocket Instead of the public treasury." "Hum-m-m! What do you want me to do with all those munitions consi L'nnri to me 7" ??* ? "N "Arrange with Leber to keep thorn there until you get ready to build your rond Into the mine. I want them there when my American mercenaries arrive In Buenaventura. By the way, you are going to Import these mercenaries for me. They are American miners and road builders In the employ of the Honda Mining & Development company, which Is to he the name of your enterprise. I hope you'll like the name, Webster. I picked It out myself." "You cool scoundrel! You're making cat's paw out of me." "That Is because you happen Xo he so handy for my purpose. You nee my plan, do you not? I'm going to attack Buenaventura from within and without. I'm going to come down on Sarros like a wolf on the fold, and the Job Is scheduled for next Saturday night a week." "Look here, Kick, my hoy, 1 hnve no desire to mix In the politics of this country." ( "Yon have some desire, however, to mix In Its wcslttl" rumliwliul Titan.
