a little sigh, Bardwell closed the book
and looked out at the dawn, forcing its
way through the blinding snow.
“Yes, I guess we’ll find a iot of
things in this old book," came at last.
“But I think right now that the best
thing any of us can find is a little
sleep."
Rest—rest for five wearied persons,
hut the rest of contentment and peace.
And late in the afternoon, three of
them were gathered in the old-fashion-
ed parlor of Mother Howard’s board-
ing house, waiting for the return of
that dignitary from a sudden mission
upon which Anita Richmond had sent
her, involving a trip to the old Rich-
mond mansion. Harry turned away
from his place at the window.
“The district attorney 'ad a long
talk with Barnham," he announced,
“and 'e’s figured out a wye for all the
stock’olders in the Silver Queen to get
what’s coming to them. As it is,
they’s about a ‘unnerd thousand short
some’eres."
Fairchild looked up.
“What’s the scheme?"
"To call a meeting of the stock-
'olders and transfer all that money
over to a special fund to buy Blue
Poppy stock. We’ll 'ave to raise money
anyway to work the mine like we
ought to. And it ‛d cost something.
You always 'ave to underwrite that
sort of thing. I sort of like it, even
if we’d ’ave to sell stock a little be-
low par. It’d keep Ohadl from get-
ting a bad name and all that.”
“I think so, too." Anita Richmond
laughed. “It suits me fine.”
Fairchild looked down at her and
smiled.
“I guess that’s the answer,” he said.
“Of course that doesn’t include the
Rodaine stock. In other words, we
give a lot of disappointed stock-
holders par value for about ninety
cents on the dollar. But Farrell can
look after all that. He’s got to have
something to keep him busy as at-
torney for the company.”
A step on the veranda, and Mother
Howard entered, a package under her
arm, which she placed in Anita's lap.
The girl looked up at the man who
stood beside her.
“I promised,” she said, “that I’d
tell you about the Denver road."
He leaned close.
"That isn’t all you promised—just
before I left you this morning,” came
his whispered voice, and Harry, at
the window, doubled In laughter.
“Why didn’t you speak it all out?"
he gurgled. “I 'eard every word." \
Anita’s eyes snapped.
“Well, I don’t guess that’s any
worse than me standing behind the
folding doors listening to you and
Mother Howard gushing like a couple
of sick doves!"
“That 'olds me,” announced Harry.
"That 'olds me. I ain’t got a word to
sye!”
Anita laughed.
“Persons who live in glass houses,
you know. But about this explanation.
I’m going to ask a hypothetical ques-
tion. Suppose you and your family
were in the clutches of persons who
were always trying to get you into
a position where you’d be more at
their mercy. And suppose an old
friend of the family wanted to make
the family a present and called up
from Denver for you to come on
down and get it—not for yourself, but
just to have around in case of need.
Then suppose you went to Denver,
got the valuable present and then,
just as you were getting up speed to
make the first grade on Lookout, you
heard a shot behind you and looked
around to see the sheriff coming. And
if he caught you, it’d mean a lot of
worry and the worst kind of gossip,
and maybe you'd have to go to jail
for breaking laws and everything like
that? In a case of that kind, what'd
you do?”
"Run to beat bloody ’ell l” blurted
out Harry.
“And that’s just what she did,"
added Fairchild. “I know because I
saw her.”
Anita was unwrapping the package.
"And seeing that I did run,” she
added with a laugh, “and got away
with it, who would like to share In
what remains of one beautiful bottle
of Manhattan cocktails?”
There was not one dissenting voice!

it. If Roady wanted me to kill him,
why didn’t he say so? I will kill if
Roady will be good to me. I’ve killed
before for him."
"Still referring to somebody sho's
killed," cut in Anita. “I wonder if
it could be possible—”
“I’ve just thought of the date!"
Harry broke in excitedly. “It was along
about June 7, 1892. Im sure it was
around there.”
The old books were mulled over,
one after the other. At last Bardwell
leaned forward and pointed to a cer-
tain page.
“Here’s an item under May 28. It
says: ‘Ready has been at me again!
He wants me to fix things so that the
three men in the Blue Poppy mine
will get caught in there by a cave-in.’ "
The sheriff looked up. “This seems
to read a little better than the other
stuff. It’s not so jagged. Don’t guess
she was as much off her nut then as
she is now. Let’s see. Where’s the
place? Oh, yes: 'If I’ll help him, I
can have half, and we’ll live together
again, and he'll be good to me and I
can have the boy. I know what it's
all about. He wants to get the mine
without Sissie Larsen having anything
to do with it Sissie has cemented up
the hole he drilled into the pay ore
and hasn’t told Fairchild about it, be-
cause he thinks Roady will go partner-
ships with him and help him buy in.
But Roady won’t do it. He wants
that extra money for me. He told me
so. Roady is good to me sometimes.
But that’s when he wants me to do
something. If he’ll keep his promise
I’ll fix the mine so they won’t get
out.’ ”
"The poor old soul,” there was ach-
ing sympathy in Anita Richmond’s
voice. “I—I can’t help it if she was
willing to kill people. The poor old
thing was crazy.”
“Yes, and she’s 'ad us bloody near
crazy too. Maybe there’s another
entry.”
“I’m coming to IL It’s along in
June. The date’s blurred. Listen:
‘I did what Roady wanted me to. I
sneaked into the mine and planted
dynamite in the timbers. I wanted to
wait until the third man was there,
but I couldn't. Fairchild and Larsen
were fussing. Fairchild had learned
about the hole and wanted to know
what Larsen had found. Finally Lar-
sen pulled a gun and shot Fairchild.
He fell, and I knew he was dead.
Then Larsen bent over him, and when
he did I hit him—on the head with a
single-Jack hammer. Then I set off
the charge. Nobody ever will know
how it happened unless they find the
bullet or the gun. I don't care if they
do, Roady wanted me to do it.'"
Fairchild started to speak, but the
sheriff stopped him.
“Wait, here’s another item:
‘"I failed. I didn't kill either of
them. They got out someway and
drove out of town tonight. Roady 1s
mad at me. He won’t come near me.
And I’m so lonesome for him""
“The explanation!" Fairchild al-
most shouted it as he seized the book
and read it again. “Sheriff, I've got
to make a confession. My father al-
ways thought that he had killed a
man. Not that he told me—but I could
guess it easily enough, from other
things that happened. When he came
to, he found a single-jack hammer
lying beside him, and Larsen's body
across him. Couldn’t he naturally be-
lieve that he had killed him while in
a daze? He was afraid of Rodaine—
that Rodaine would 'get up a lynch-
ing party and string him up. Harry
here and Mrs. Howard helped him out
of town. And this is the explana-
tion !”
Bardwell smiled quizzically.
"It looks like there's going to be a
lot of explanations. What time was
it when you were trapped in that
mine, Harkins?”
"Afong about the first of Novem-
ber."
The sheriff turned to the page. It
was there—the story of Crazy Laura
and her descent into the Blue Poppy
mine, and again the charge of dyna-
mite which wrecked the tunnel. With
