BEGIN HERE TODAY. Finding the lifeless bodies of his partners at their gold-mining camp, Harry Gloster flees southward, ng that he will be accused of the crime. On the way Gloster saves the life of a stranger, Lee Haines, from the murderous hands of a scoundrel by the name of Joe Macarthur. "Gloster is jailed for getting into a fight with eeveral men over a girl. Lee Haines comes to his rescue, hold- ing up the sheriff while Gloster makes a dash for 1reedom. "Joan," presum- ably the daughter of Buck Daniels, an old recluse, also helps Gloster in his éscape, showing him the way to safe- ty. Gloster eludes a posse and makes food his escape. Haines, struck down y that she is not'the daughter of Buck Daniels, but of Dan Barry, a fearless rider of the old plains. Now Joan is homeward bound. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. When she came in sight of the Wouss her fear of Buck Daniels was gone forever. She rode with reckless noise past the house, and Buck him- self came running out. She did not heed his challenging shout, but went . Bithely on_to the corral, where « 0 theadaled Peler and brought fo/hin. an ample feed of grain. It was not until she had finished al! these things that she went back to the ranch house, Buck Daniels walked in front of it, up and' down, up and down, with a glow of light from his pipe now and again showing the storm in his face, "Well," he said, "what have you got to say for yourself?" She smiled across the stove at him. "I said 'Hello' when I came in from the corral." "What have you been doing?" "Finding out the price of Peter." "What do you mean by that?" "I mean five hundred dollars. That's what he's worth." "You've sold him?" "Yes." "Without asking me?" "I bought him back again." "Joan, what the devil is in you?" She shrugged her shoulders and went on with her work. Fried pota- 'toes and a great slice of ham and a mighty cup of offs and hot milk would not be too much for her, i "You been riding to a fall, Joan, and now doggone me if the time ain't come when you got to hear some talk that ain't going to be like any other a bullet, tells Joan before he dies' shoulder and drew her back into the room. He cloed the door hastily and stood with his shoulders braced against it. His eyes were a little wide as he faced her, and she thought that there was still a slight tremor of the upper lip as if, the instant before, he had received a great shock. But she was too filled with great memories this evening to pay much attention to Buck and his ideas of her. The careless smoothness with which she spoke to him was the only tone poesible to her. If she had tried to speak soberly, she would have burst into tears and been unable to proceed. She would have turned back to the stove, but he caught her and topped her again, "I've had hell two nights hand run- ning on account of you," he told her, "and I'm damned if I'm Boing to have it again. Understand?" She did not answer. She hardly heard the words he had thundered at her. "Joan! Where have you been?" "With a man." "I knew it!" he groaned." it, ho?" "_Aman- you know. "And he hasn't seen the last of me whoever he is!" "Lee Haines was his name." It was a etrong name, indeed. It seemed to have the strength of a club to strike down Buck Daniels. He fumbled, found a chair, and lowered himself into it without taking his glance from her face, "What did Lee tell you? Where is he? Where did you meet him? What did he tell you, Joan?" "He told me about my father." It was a second blow and it made him drop his face in his hands. She stood over him, trembling with anger. "You've kept it away from me all these years, and what right had you to do that. I've lived in the centre of a lie!" He made a gasture as though brushing her words away to get at something important. "Did he tell you how---how your father died, Joan?" "Al but that," she answered. "Thank God!" "But I'll find it out! IW find out every word that can be known about him!" . "Joan, I won't let you We start "I knew talk you ever heard! In the first place what I want--" "Hush!" whispered Joan. She raised her hand, and into the sflence which she had interposed float- ed the shrill erying of the wild geese a8 some thick wedge of them fled up the northern sky. It was a marvel ous music to Joan. It chimed and! echoed in her very heart of hearts. She even opened the door, but as | she, stood there against the outer blackness of the night, looking north- ward to the sky, Buck caught at her ARRAY 7 | { { CIT Nal vo " back east tomorrow. I've made ar rangements. We're going to go--"' "Not a step!" she cried. "Oh, do you think I'd give him up? I've been cheated of him all this time, but I'm going to make it up!" He arose and began to pace the room, swinging through it, back and forth, with an uneven step as his thoughts spurred and checked him. But at last he stopped short and faced her. "I've got to tell you things I been praying all' this time that you aldn't hear. I'll tell it short, be- cause I ain't got the strength to tell all the small things that go into the making of it. When your father died --when Dan Barry died," he began, his words coming forth haltingly, "I {went to Kate--your mother. I told Fwhy shouldst thou fill to-day with sor her I wanted to help, and she told me that the great thing to be dome was to take you out of a country where place where folks had never heard of him. "She wanted to go east, but I show- ed her that there wasn't or "But how could she ask you to do if would of done for her," he insisted calmly. "There was never a woman like her before and there'll never be another liko her again. You're a i Jean. You've got a stronger mind and a stronger body than she had. But she was sort of half queen and half child, and be- tween them two things she worked on the heart of a man till he'd die to give her one happy day." "And Dan Barry?" she asked. "Did it help you to hate him because you loved my mother #0 much?" "Joan, the other day I was telling you about one man in all my life that was a friend to me." lees "I'll never forget what you sid. It seemed as though I'd never known you until you told me that!" "Well, Dan Barry was that man. Does that help you to understand?" Again she was stricken dumb.

At the present time officials of the company, J. ¥. Robertson (smelting manager) and L. J. Ingolsfrud (chief engineer), are on a tour of the west, examining the Iting plants of western copper min- ing companies. Details of the pro posed revision have not been an- nounced and no action with regard to smelter changes are likely to be taken until next year. Oliver Hall, formerly mine manager, took over last week the position of general manager of required, and it is likely that heavy machinery will be moved into the property over the snow during the coming winter. The tonnage of ore developed and in sight in the mine is large and will run better than $7. Construction of a 1,000-ton mill is re- garded as the most economical plant, The compact formation of ore zone will, it is estimated, enable the com- pany to produce at a cost of $4 per ton or less, and this would leave sub- stantial profits on a 1,000-ton opera- tion.

I can find work of some sort that will pay--all I want is your. promise to try to go on doing what your mother wanted you to do." And Joan, drying her eyes, was about to answer in the affirmative when, through the open kitchen win- dow, the faint calling of the north- bound wild geese floated into the room, a chill and dissonant sound. It stopped her voice, Buck Daniels, with a stifled oath, strode to the window and slanimed it down to shut out those wild voices, but the old building was full of rifts and cracks which served now as ears. He himself could hear nothing, but he knew from the quivering lips and the far-seeing eyes of the girl that. she still was listening.
