COPYRIGHT, 1914, BY JOHN FLEMING WILSON Quickly John drew Rath aside in tho shelter of one of the cottages and said hurriedly: "This must be stopped, Ruth. I'll get out there and stop them!" Roth's property was in peril. Jobn's stentorian voice rang out across the throng: "Stop, men! Stop!" But he soon saw that the crowd was getting out of band. He perceived three or four of the tunnel men racing down the hill to join in the fracas. One of them, he was sure, had been to the powder house. He gritted his teeth and made his last appeal. "Ruth—Ruth Gallon!" be called. Doubtless none of the miners had no ticed her presence, and when her slen der figure emerged from a doorway, boldly yet modestly out toward the man who was trying to hold them in check, there was a dead silence. That silence was portentous. In it was de cided the fate of "The Master Key." It was broken by wild and tumultu ous '•heers as John lifted Ruth on the box and she held out her slender arms in girlish entreaty to the men she knew so welL Cowed, yet as ever alert to snatch at any opening, Wilkerson now came boldly on the scene. Just as he had bluffed his way many a time before, he now made a play on which be knew his own safety depended. He mount ed on the box beside Ruth. "Miss Gallon has asked me to restore the former rate of wages."' he shouted. "It has been done." What meant that ominous silence? What more must he say to those faces upturned to his? "And 1 have reap pointed John Dorr to run this mine," he muttered. Possibly he hoped that those low. hoarse tones would not carry far, but attentive ears caught them up and knew their meaning. Tom Kane came through the •rowd. thrust Wilkerson oft the box ceremonv and raised his crack- FEEL YOUNG! It's Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets For You! Beware of the habit of constipation.

MONDAY EVENING, Ed roice in a yell that brought a per fect thunder of cheers from the miners. Without waiting to listen for more Wilkerson 'went away with as much bravado as he could muster to the office. On his way he picked up his gun, which John had flung through the win dow, and thrust it in the bosom of his shirt, with a meaning glance backward at John Dorr, who was now helping Ruth through the crowds toward the bungalow, followed by a yelling, tramping, laughing, bellowing column of men. Once inside the office Wilkerson went to his desk and unlocked the drawer which held that seventh letter. "Some time"— he muttered qieaningly. CHAPTER VII. Wilkerson the Plotter. W 4-- HEN he had thoroughly learn ed his lesson Wilkerson cooi rwjg ly. in epite of the letter be BbEB had received from Jean Dar nell lu New fork, telling him of ber willingness to finance her scheme, de termined be must be friends with John Dorr, at least outwardly. So be smoothed out the visible wrinkles In Ills face, trying to veil the malicious gleam in his eyes, nnd spent two days quietly trying to show his amiability, not only to the miners, but to Dorr himself. Wilkereon was absolutely certain that his old partner, Thomas Gallon, bad really made a rich And and that he bad lost the location and accepted "The Master Key" as a substitute vn the hope that by working It tborongbly he might tlnd the mother lode. In other words, caref-.u manipulation of the present mine, painstaking toll in figuring out the trend of the various veins, would lead to that particular pot of gold which had been at the end of Gallon's youthful rainbow of hopes. Wilkerson was determined to be mas ter of "The Master Key." He needed the skilled aid of John Dorr with bis engineering knowledge. John Dorr knew that there was a tremendous secret In Gallon's Ufe rep resented by the golden key which be bad torn from his neck and handed to Ruth when he was dying. That key had figures on It He understood that those scratches on that golden surface represented something tremendously Important, and that the old man had committed Ruth to his charge and had spoken of Wilkerson as his former partner and said, "Wilkerson knows." What was it that Wilkerson knew? It was better, thought John, to accept his amiable advances and thereby pos sibly gain his confidence and And out For Ruth's sake that secret which Thomas Gallon bad taken to kla grave. So on the second day after the resto ration of the old scale of wagea and bis own reappointment as engineer In charge John went down to the office and tald bluntly: "Look here, WUker son. maybe both of as have made u mistake. I'cu sure my only aim is to help oat In the promotion of The Mas ter Key.'" Wllkerson received tkfrn amiably. "I'm sure my only Interest In this busi ness Is to fetch Into good ore. All that wesre digging ont now is dirt without any pay In ft" "1 think J know where we can strike Brat class 6tuff." Dorr returned. "There is BUT* pay rock If we travel south from that main tunnel. We may have to go a couple of hundred feet." Wllkerson looked at him shrewdly "That will cost money," he remarked. "But I'll take this up with Ruth." John looked at him with a faint trace of the old enmity In his eyes. He did not like to bear the first name of the mistress of "The Master Key" on those Hps. "If the mine la not paying It's op to us to maSe tt pay," tie remarked. When Wilkereon entered the bunga iow Ruth perceived a great change in his attitude. He was no longer sullen, and he was evidently worried. It was h clean worry, and she smiled at him Had not her father come in with that expression on his face many times? She put her chin in the cup of her hands and asked cheerfully, "What is It. Mr. Wilkerson?" "May 1 sit down?" he said awk wnrdly. She motioned to a chair, and he pull ed out of his pocket a paper covered *\ltb figures. "I think you onuQt to know bow things are going along. Miss Gallon,' ne said, with unusual formality. "When your father made me superin tendent of this mine 1 did not realize that the responsibility was so heavy as it Is. We are not making any money. We are losing money. Von can see by the reports which 1 have here that our cleanup lately has been far less than mir expenses, and our last one showed practically nothing. We must find the vein agoiu. To do so we mnst have money. There 19 no money in The Master Key' mine." "That's what father used to say aomeflmes," said Ruth quietly, "llut ne always got it." Wilkerson flushed "Miss Gallon, I hope that you don't think that I'm not doing my best. 1 am. John Dorr and 1 have gone over this matter together. He agrees with me ttmt we have abso lutely lo«<t the vein and that If 'The Master Key' Is to pay anything more we must And it again." Ruth's expression softened at the mention of John Dorr's name. "Wbat does be think?" ahe demanded. "What la the chance of finding it again?" "If we ran west. Dorr thinks," said Wilkerson alowly, "we'll recover the vein, but that will cost money, which we haven't got. Do yon realize. Miss Gallon, that the pay roll here la over SI,OOO a day? Within a week I have to pay out over $30,000 for the month, and I tell yon frankly that when 1 have paid that there will be no more money to the account of "The Master Key' In the bank In Silent Valley." Rutb realized that be was speaking the troth, even lessening the tmme dlateneas of the catastrophe, bnt ber distaste of the man was too great to allow her to dlscnas the matter with htm In the intimate way which she felt was necessary. She mnst see John Dorr, She quickly dismissed Wilkerson and then went to Dorr'a office herself, meet ing him at the <}oor. She bore as a gift a small basket of fruit. Without preliminaries she said. "John, are we broke?" He laughed; then his face grew grave. "The mine ta not paying," be HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH I CALL 1991-ANY"PHONE.. Tfi , M CALL 1991-ANY"PHONE.-* f FOUNDED 1871 mg UrbNb A 1 OA. M.

"If wo have that much money, why can't we"— A tenderness flooded Dorr's eyes. He comprehended her helplessness, under stood why old Thomas Gallon had been so Insistent that he, John Dorr, should look after her. She was a mere child. He tried to explain the exact situation, with the result that Ruth Anally push ed him otT bis high stool, got up on It herself and wrote In a large, childish hand right across the face of one of his new drawings, "1 must raise $lO,- 000!" She swung around to John and asked, : "How can 1 get $10,000?" Dorr hesitated. His plan was risky ! In view of Wilkerson's attitude, but 1 after all, the roopey must be raised. | □ e said quietly: "Pledge the stock you own In The Master Key.' 1 know a man in New York who will lonn yon SIO,OOO on it" He bent over her ear- \ nestly. "But listen, Ruth. If we spend the SIO,OOO and we don't find the moth er lode, yon lose the mine. It's Jnst like a mortgage on a farm." "But you wouldn't suggest this If It weren't the only way out," she said briefly. "Now, how am Ito do this?" "You must go to New York and see George Everett. 1 will give yon a let ter to him. nnd he will see to it that you get the extra money we need Meanwhile I'll keep the mine going." Ruth gave him her full eyes, "You don't like Mr. Wllkerson. do yon?" "I don't trust him," he reDlled At this moment the superintendent entered the office and, seeing their two heads close together over the desk, be scowled "1 came to see what we are going to do about that new tunnel," he said roughly. "I don't like to start in any thing I can't finish." Ruth swung around to say quietly: "1 am going to New York city to see Mr. George Everett, a friend of Mr. Dorr's, and 1 will come back with the $10,000."
