Community spirit is the soul of
every up and coming city.
After all this is m'y job, its my
business, my Chamber of Com-
merce, my town, my state and
my country, and if 1 don’t belive
in them, who will? If I’m un-
willing to roll up my sleeves and
fight for m‘y own who is there
to do battle? The local Chamber
is the rallying point where men
may not only pool teir thoughts
hut may gather the strength of
others. Here men renew pride
in their respective callings, and
regain their faith in the great
American ideal of an independent,
patriotic and militant business
system. Why not join and help
along in 1938. Don’t forget to
vote before Saturday. The secre-
tary has the ballots.
—F. K. Bucek, President.
“Yes, I do, Warren. I—I’ve got
to talk with you. Won’t you have
a cup of tea with me?’*
“I can’t stay long. I’ve got some-
thing important on for this eve-
ning.” Patricia poured the tea.
“Did you have something particu-
lar in mind that you wanted to
talk to me about?” Warren asked,
stirring the sugar in his tea.
“Yes. It’s about Craig. I’m wor.
rifd about him. Terribly worried.”
“Why, is he ill, or something?’’
Warren blandly inquired.
“No, no. He’s gone, Warren.
Three days ago he suddenly dis-
appeared. He didn’t tell anybody—
Polenn or Corporal Northup or me—
that he intended going away.”
“Odd,” Warren remarked. “Quite
odd. Come to think of it, I haven’t
seen him around here for several
days. Where d’you suppose he
went?”
“I don’t know. I’ve asked every-
body, and no one knows. You were
the last person to talk with him.
He disappeared right after he
signed those papers to the radium
lake. Did he drop you any hint.
Warren, where he might be?”
Warren regarded her, poker-
faced. "Tarlton isn’t in the habit-
of confiding his personal business to
me. I haven’t even a suggestion
as to his whereabouts. But why are
you so alarmed about a little three-
day absence?”
“Because I know that something
dreadful has happened to him,” Pa-
tricia quavered.
"What makes you think he’s had
some accident?” Warren asked,
cruelly indifferent to her misery
over Craig.
"I think so because those Chi-
waughimis are gone too, Warren.
They disappeared at the same time
he did. That wasn't any coinci-
dence! Lupe hates Craig. Lupe has
been trying half the winter to kill
him. Where are those metis now?”
A while later Patricia roused her
self and wandered qsrt into the cool
night air. Her cheeks burned with
fever; she felt sick and a little gid-
dy. In the cabin she had cried her
____heart out over the wreckage of all

without consulting me. I presume
that they’ve gone Ashing, some-
where or other.” He finished his tea.
set the cup down. “No, no more,
thank you. I have to go now.”
“Warren, don’t! Listen to me!”
Patricia pleaded. His stoniness
made her frantic. "You've got to
help me, Warren! It’s a question of
saving Craig's life. Those Chiwaug-
himis are holding him prisoner
somewhere. Lupe will kill him, un-
less you intervene. I—I’m the
cause—Lupe hates him because of
me. I brought all this on Craig,
and now I’ve got to save him. Be-
fore I'll let him get killed. I’ll do
anything. I'll go away, I’ll go back
to Chicago, I’ll promise not to see
Craig any more. Every time that
t’ve depended on you, Warren,
pou’ve let me down. Don't let me
down this time!”
Warren looked at her through the
imoke of his cigarette. “You say
you’d ’do anything.’ Just how much
»f that do you really mean?”
Patricia went taut quivering. She
had broken down Warren’s1 indiffer-
ence! She had drawn him pne step
toward the trap.
“I mean all of itl If I leave. Lupe
won't have any cause tJb kiU Craig.
I’ll start for Smith tomorrow morn-
ing; I'll get back borne as fast as
a plane can take ma—If you'll only
send word to Lupe.’’
Warren toyad with a spoon, cau-
tiously choosing avary word of
his reply.
“You may be right dear, tn think-
tog that the Chlwaughlmis abducted
Tarlton and era holding him a pris-
by any mere promises, especiall;
now that Rosalie is dead and Tar
ton is free to marry you. I believ
he would demand some absolut
guarantee of your sincerity. Yot
willingness to return to Chicago
all right, as far as it goes, but i
this situation it hardly goes fa
enough. In my opinion”—he droppe
his cigarette into his tea dregs-
“there is only one earthly way to
you to convince Lupe. It’a drastic
but then , .
“What is it? I’ll do itl"
Warren said slowly: "Your friem
Northup Is a magistrate. He can
issue a marriage license and per-
form the ceremony. H you and I
should be married, here at the Bay,
at once, and then you should go
back to Chicago announcedly as Pa-
tricia Lovett, I rather believe fhat
Lupe would be entirely satisfied.
Nothing short of that would do.”
Patricia drew back, shocked and
incredulous. She had never imag-
ined that Warren would drive so
merciless a bargain. Or so pre'
posterous a bargain. Didn't he real-
ize that she would never live with
him? That she would divorce him
the instant she could?
But then she looked deeper Into
his ultimatum and saw that instead
of being preposterous his bargain
She doubted whether she could
save even that. She was no match
for Warren. Corporal Northup, fcj
all his experience with crime,
entirely outclassed. Except for r
surrender to Warren's ultimatum^
she had no power left of any sort.
Even if she did give in to that un-
thinkable bargain, Warren would
likely doublecross her. She put ho
faith in any promise from him. le
hated Craig with a primitive jekl-
oqs hatred. "* * /'
Through her numbeththoughts ran
Warren’s sentence ol two weeks
ago, “The guilt will lie with you!”
By a mere word/ then she coidd
have saved all Ciis disaster. And
she had refused. The guilt did lie
with her. She should have taken
Warren’s offf>r and gone back to
Chicago. If Craig should be mur-
dered, because of her refusal . . ,
It was a horrible thought.
Over at the community house,f
yards away, the windows and do
had been Aung open. For some 1
son the usual droning hum of
versation was stilled. Inside, a ]
son was talking. His voice wail
raised • little, as though he was
making some sort of speech to the
men.
Occasionally, as he paused, Pa*

was a shrewd far-seeing play, based; trlcia heard a low rumble from the
on the blunt realities of the months, listeners, a muffled outburst of sur*
ahead. His marriage to her, how-' prise, or anger, or both; but the
ever it might be, would give him a
heavy advantage in his battle
against Russell Parkes. After that
—when he had her in Chicago, had
the Arm in his grasp again, had con-
trol of the Wellington interests and
her family’s fortune—he could Just
about dictate his terms to her.
Warren saw how she recoiled
from the thought of marrying him.
“You don't seem to like my ad-
vice,” he snapped. Formerly he
would have argued patiently, but
now he was sharp and hard. "All
right, don’t take it!” He got up to
go.
Patricia caught his arm. She was
panicky with defeat. "Warren,
please—I haven't refused—I will
take itl I promise, here, now—if
you’ll only send word to Lupe. Won’t
you do that? Promise me you'll send
word to Lupe.”
“I don’t promise anything.” He
shook Patricia’s hand from his arm
and started for the door. “If and
when you’ve followed my advice, I
might help you, but net before. If
you haven't changed your mind by
tomorrow morning about going back
to Chicago with me, if you’re still
willing to be married as I suggest-
ed, you might comd over to my
cabin and let me know.” . . .
Moments afterward, Dennis
Northup stepped from behind a por-
tiere ln the corner where Patricia
hung her clothes.
“Damn all,” he remarked glum-
ly, “thatT man is a Shrewd devill
He actually delivered kis ultimatum
to you*without incriminating him-
self by one single wfird.” • .
Patricia did not an^er. She had
slumped down on the cot- and
was sobbing at bar abject failure to
save Craig.
“Don’t give up* partner,”
Northup attempted encouragement.
"We'll try Lovett again. We U get

the man took up his speech again.
The voice sounded to her like
Warren’s. She stopped plucking at

A few distinguishable words tame

In spite of her faintness she knew
that Warren was putting acroal
some bold stroke with those proa*
pectors. He must have gone straight j
from her cabin to the Den. Thla
must be the “something important”
which he had mentioned, with ela-
tion in' his tones.
The tense quiet of the prospectors
sounded ominous to her, but even
more ominous were those rumbling
