It was not much; just a form of “glory hole’ with which Dustin was perfectly familiar. Kane had cut back into the hillside for some eight or ten feet and laid bare a vein of rock. He had followed that vein in its wandering and had cross-cut a heading to intercept the vein at a turn in the slope and he had stripped a vein at sight of which Dustin who his plan Peyotl and not old Kane was the real victim. A voice as loud as a shout sud- denly assailed his ears. A voice to which he had never listened scream- ed at him through years of a ques- tionable past. He had not heard his conscience for many years and he did not know it now. But it shrilled a question in his startled ears. sively. Ask your grocer for a tin!

It was a cold camp where the wind drove down on them in a steady gale while the hobbled ponies stood with their tails against the wind. Dustin sought his blankets early and lay had caught Bender stealing flour when a pound of flour was worth a man’s life and Bender had paid the price. He remembered that Bender, before they shot him, had told them that some day they would regret it. He wondered vaguely why he should think now of Bender. . . . Kane had stolen no food as Bender had!

Kane pulled him from his blankets at dawn and again they headed west- ward against the line of the blue foot hills. In that wild tangle of Mesquite and aspen and madrona Dustin refiected any man might be pardoned for not being sure of his ‘own property lines. This might or might not be Hour-glass land. All that day they rode slowly up the slope; they headed long “draws” and followed devious trails that clung to the hillsides as a man’s eyebrows cling to his face till finally, on a bluff point that overlooked the valley of the Stinking Water, old Kane shouted for a halt. “Right down there’s where Corse an’ Gray were at work,” he said and ~ jerked a finger toward the flat where a deep canon cut into the hillside like a cut inacake. Those words chang- ed Sam Dustin’s mind into adamant. Till then he had sought some elusive scheme by which he could forego his first resolve; some other way to in- pure old Kane's silence. Now he knew there was no other way. Old Kane knew and what he knew, sooner or later, he would tell and if he told then he, Dustin, and Goddard would certainly go to jail for ten or maybe twenty years. There was no help for it now. “That ‘ere valley’s a good place to - camp if you kin drink that stinkin’ If You Eat Starches Meats, Sweets Read This earth in which to live. . . . Once he knew where that hidden vein lay all would be his. 6 EWES . Dad Kane must never return to tell what he knew! He watched the old man hobbling his pony and set out with a bucket for the spring. He watched Peyotl cutting up some bacon on the bottom of an overturned bucket and placing a huge coffee-pot on the fire. He ate his supper in silence and, while he was still smoking, old Kane rose. “Come on, Dustin,” he said with a senile grin. “I'll show you where it’s tir egs Dustin rose and stretched. “All right,’ he said pleasantly. “Take one last look at the ponies, Dad, while I get some tobacco. . . . Be with you in a mintite.” His busy fingers pulled a package from his saddle-bags and he was aware of Peyotl’s eyes centered on his back. He laid that package un- ostentatiously on a flat rock and walked off to join Kane. He was acutely aware of Peyotls watching eyes and of his greedily slavering mouth. The moment the two men disappeared around a turn in the trail Peyotl’s eyes lit with a somber glow as he seized the package from the rock and tore it open. He withdrew his hand full of a brown substance like dried liquorice root and a thick bundle of evil-smelling stubby cigar- ettes from the ends of which a brown substance, that was certainly no tobacco, fell into his eager hands. Peyotl snatched them with a little choking cry. In one motion he crammed his mouth full of the dry dust and with another lit one of the cigarettes. For the next hour the gorilla-like figure squatted over the fire lighting one cigarette from the butt of an- other while old Dad Kane with his employer walked unknowingly into Dustin sat down on a big bowlder and made some rapid calculations. There was no water in this canon. Then they could not run a table; a wulfley table that runs with little water and less work. The best they could do would be to dam Chollo Canon, next across the ridge; pump the water over here and work a table. Maybe set up a four-head stamp-mill and table the dirt. He knew that the very first burro-load of ore sent to a smelter would give the whole thing away and there would be a rush to that canon that would throw into the shade the rush to Tonopah. He had taken part in that rush and he remembered it well. Of course, old Kane was quite right about Miners’ Law. Kane had locat- ed that ore-lead and he was entitled to follow it, but . . . Was it actually on Hour-glass land? If it was, there might be a fight. But there was a question about it. With so much land up here, it was almost impossible that a man should know his lines. He said as much to Kane. The old man laughed grimly. “If you're honest about that. . . an’ I doubt it most damnably . . . it ain’t likely you’re honester about land than cattle. If you'll steal Joe Carr’s cows, you'l steal his land. . . If, I say, you're honest about that then the best thing to do is to see old man Carr. If he’s properly ap- proached, he'll probably sell mineral rights on a royalty basis. It'll be better to git a share than to have a fight in court.” Dustin snorted. “If you even try to talk to Joe Carr you'll give the whole thing away. Just one word dropped to him’ll give him the in- formation he needs, Once he learns there's pay-dirt on the land of the Hour-glass there'll be one hell of a row and don’t you forget it. We'll say nothin’ to Carr. Let's get back just one brief moment those thoughts came to him. Then... He saw a line of blank gray walls at Florence with armed wardens pacing the crests of those walls. He saw himself in a striped suit wield- ing a heavy hammer. Instantly he threw the thought aside and came back to an earthly earth. That fate should never be his! Dad Kane and Joe Carr could go to hell. He would take Edith Carr! In that moment her radiant beauty shone out in a moment of irradiated passion. He had known many other women and he knew that what had won them would win her. A dittle force and a few kisses given judi- ciously would win any woman. And after this question of property was settled, he would have a stranglehold on her. No decent woman would see her father ruined rather than marry a& personable man who could and would save that father! He stood and watched the quivering Peyotl, then strode back to the fire and lit his pipe with a half-dead ember. Suddenly he made up his mind. This was the time. “Hey, Dad!” he called. wt Wake Ups sel (To Be Continued) “Dad Kane THE RHYMING OPTIMIST By Aline Michaelis J BIRTHDAY Another twelve-month ends, and so An ordered rank to ponder on, It stands twith memory’s lengthen- ing row Of years that now are past and gone.

Has Narrowest Parish Clergyman’s Charge Is 1,200 Miles Long By Six Feet Wide The Rey. Henry Moss, a young Canadian clergyman, has been put in charge of what he claims is the longest and narrowest parish in the world. It is 1,200 miles long and about six feet broad. Mr. Moss is chaplain of the Irak Petroleum Com- pany, and his duty is to minister to the men engaged on the construction of two pipe-lines running respectively from Kirkuk to Tripoli and Kirkuk to Haifa. His headquarters are at St. Luke’s Church, Haifa. He travels regularly along the two lines which traverse the desert. A branch of “Toc H” has already been formed in the “parish,” and it recently received a visit from the founder-padre, the Rey. “Tubby” Clayton.
