FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 12, 1915. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 3. an . Copyright, 1814, by CHAPTER XIII. The Adventure With the Little Man. T? WISIIT you wasn't so set in your J w.iys." Shorty demurred. "1'ra sure scairt of that sliicier. No man ought to tackle it by his lonely." Smoke laughed cheerfully anil ran his rye up the glistening face of the tiny glacier that filled the liead of t!ie valley. "Here it is August already, r.nd the days have been gottfnir "shorter for two months." he epitomized the sit uation. "You kr.tw quartz, aud I don't. Hut I can bring up the grub, wliile you keep after that mother l-jde. ifo long. I'll be bui-k by tomorrow evening." He turned and started. "1 pot a hunch somethin's goin to happen." Shorty plea. led after hiiu. Hut Smokes reply was a bantering lauh. He hehl on down the tittle val ley, occasionally wi'.ng the sweat from his forehead, the while his feet crush ed through ripe mountain raspberries and delicate ferns that giew beside patches of sun sheltered ice. In the early spring he and Shorty ha I come to the Stewart river and launched out iuto the amazing chaos of the region where Surprise lake lay. And all of the spring and half of the summer had been consumed in futile wanderings, when, on the vcr.ge of turning back, they caught their first glimpse of the ballling. gold bottomed sheet of water which had lured and fooled a generation of miners. Making their camp in the old cabin which Smoke had discovered on his previous visit, they learned three things first, heavy nugget gold was carpeted thickly on the lake bottom; next, the gold cou'd be dived for In the shallower portions, but the temper ature of the water was man killing, and, finally, the draining of the lake was too stupendous a task for two men In the shorter half of a short summer. Undeterred, reasoning from the coarse ness of the gold that it had not trav eled far, they had set out in search of the mother lode. They had crossed the big glacier that frowned on the south ern rim and devoted themselves to the puzzling maze of small valleys and canyons beyond, which, by most un-mountnln-Iike methods, drained, or had at one time drained, into the lake. The valley Smoke was descending gradually widened after the fashion of nnv normal valley, but at the lower end it pinched narrowly between high, precipitous walls and abruptly stopped in a cross wall. At the base of this, in a welter of broken rock, the streamlet disa pi -cared, evidently finding its way out underground. Climbing the cross wall, from the top Smoke saw the lake beneath him. Un like any mountain lake he had ever Mi ii. it was i.ot Line. Instead its in tense peacoti: green tokened its shal lowness. It was this shallowness that xcade its draining feasible. All about arose jumbled mountains, with iee scarred peaks and crags, grotesquely t-ha;ed aid grouped. All was topsy turvy and unsystematic a Dure night mare. Across the lake, seemingly not more than half a mile. but. as he well knew, five miles away, he cou.d see the bunch of spruce trees and the cabin. He looked agaiu to make sure and saw smoke clear'y rising from the chimney. Somebody else Lad surprised them selves into finding Surprise lake, was his conclusion ss he turned to climb tho southern wall. Frm the top of this he came down Into a litt'e valley, flower floored and lazy with the hum of bees, that be haved quite as a reasonable valley shoa'.d. in so far as it made legitimate ti.try on the lake. What was wrong with it was its length scarcely 1X yards its head a straight un and down tl:!T of 1.0 feet, over which a stream pitched itseif in descending veils of mit. And here he encountered more smoke, floating lazily upward in the warm sunshine, beyond an outjet of rock. As he came around the corner he heard a light metallic tap-tapping aud a merry whistling that kept the b..-:.t. Then he saw the man. an up turned shoe between his knees. Into the sole of which he was driving hob -pikes. "Hello!" was the stranger's greet ing, and Smoke's heart went out to the man in ready liking. "Just in time fur a snack. There's coffee in the rt. a couple of cold flapjacks and wae jerky." "I'll go you If I lose." was Smoke's acceptance as he sat down. "I've been rather skimped on the last several uip.ils." but there's oodles of grub over iu the cabin." "Across the lake? That's what 1 was heading for." "Seems Surprise Uk? is becoming populous." Smoke complained, empty lug the coffeepot. ."LONDON. th Wheeler Syndicate. "Go on, you're joking, aren't you?" the man said, surprise painted on his face. Smoke laughed. "That's the way it takes everybody. You see those high ledges across there to the northwest? There's where I first saw it. No warn ing. Just suddenly caught the view of the whole lake from there. I'd giv en up looking for it too." "Same here." the other agreed. "I'd headed -back and was expecting to fetch the Stewart last night when out I popped in sight of the lake. If that's it Where's the Stewart? And where have I been all the time? And how did you come here? And what's your name?" "Iiellew Kit Dellew." "Oh. I know your" The man's eyes and face were bright with a Joyous smile, and his hand flashed eagerly out to Smoke's, "I've beard all about you." He was a slender man. wiry with health, with quick black eyes and a magnetism of camaraderie. "And this is Surprise lake?" be mur mured incredulously. "And its bot tom's buttered with gold?" "Sure. There's some of the churn ing." Smoke dipped In his overalls pocket and brought forth half a dozen nnggets. "Weil, gosh-dnsh my dincbats. if you haven't beaten me to it," Carson swore whimsically, but his disappointment was patent. "And I thought I'd scoop ed the whole caloodle. Anyway, I've had the fun of getting here. Funr Smoke cried. "Why. if we can ever get onr hands on all that bot tom we'll make nockefeller look like CO cents." "But it's yours," was Carson's objec tion. "Nothing to it. my friend. You've got to realize that no gold deposit like it has been discovered in all the histo ry of mining. It will take you and me and my partner and all the friends we've got to lay our hands on it. All Bonanza and Eldorado dumped togeth er wouldn't be richer than half an acre down there. The problem is to drain the lake. It will take millions. And there's only one thing I'm afraid of There's so much of it that if we fail to control the output it will bring about the demonetization of go!J." "And yon tell me" Carson broke off, speechless and amazed. "Am glad to have you. It will take a year or two. with all the money we can raise, to drain the lake. It can be done. I've looked over the ground. But it will take every man in the coun try that's willing to work for wages. We'll need an army, and we need right now decent men in on the ground floor. Are you in?" "Am I in? Don't I look it? I feel so much like a millionaire that I'm real timid about crossing that big glacier. Couldn't afford to break my neck now. Wish I had some more of those hob spikes. I was just hammering the last in when you came along. How's yours? Tret's see." Smoke held up his foot. "Worn smooth as a skating rink!" Carson cried. "You've certainly been hiking some. Wait a minute, and I'll pull some of mine out for you." But Smoke refused to listen. "Be sides." he said. "I've got about forty He Thrust One Foot Forward and Steeled Him3Cf With a Visible Phys ical Effort. feet of rope cached where we take th ice. Mr partner and I used it coming ..Si over. It will be a cinch." " It was a hard, hot climb. The sun blazed dazzlingiy on the Ice surface, and with streaming pores they panted from the exertion. There were places, crisscrossed by countless fissures and crevasses, where an honr of dangerous toil advanced them no more than a hundred yards. At 2 in the afternoon beside a pool of water bedded in the ice Smoke called a halt - "Let's tackle some of that jerky." he sahL "I've been on short allowance, and my knees lire shaking. Besides, we're across the worst. Three hundred yards will fetch us to the rocks, and it's easj- going, except for a couple of nasty fissures and one bad one that heads us down toward the bulge. There's a weak ice bridge there, but Shorty and I managed it." "I'm lighterthau yon by forty pounds," Carson said. "Let me go first." They stood on the edge of the cre vasse. It was enormous and ancient, fully 10O feet across, with sloping, age eaten sides instead of sharp angled rims. At this one place it was bridged by a huge mass of pressure hardened snow that was itself half Ice. Even the bottom of this mass they could not see. much less the bottom of the cre vasse. Crumbling and melting, the bridge threatened imminent collapse. "Looks pretty bad." Carson admitted with an ominous head shake. "But we've got to tackle it." Smoke said. "We can't camp here on the ice all night. Ahd there's uo other way. Shorty and 1 explored for a mile up. It was in better shape, though, when we crossed." "It's one at a time, and me first." Carson took the part coil of rope from Smoke's hand. "You'll have to cast off. I'll take the rope and the pick. Gimme your hand so I can slip down easy." Slowly and carefully he loweruJ him self the several feet to the bridge, where he stood, making final adjust ments for the perilous traverse. On his back was his pack outfit. Around his neck, resting on his shoulders, he coiled the rope, one end of which was still fast to his waist. "I'd give a mighty good part of my millions right now for a bridge construc tion gang." he said, bnt hi cheery, whimsical smile belied the words. The pick and the long stick he used as an alpenstock he balanced horizon tally after the manner of a ropewalk er. He thrust one foot forward tenta tively, drew it back and steeled him self with a visiole physical effort. "I wish I was flat broke," he smiled up. "If ever I get out of being a mil ionaire this time I'll never be one again." "It's all right," Smoke encouraged. "I've been over It before. Better let me try It first." "Aud you forty pounds to the worse," the little man flashed back "I'll be all right iu a minute. I'm all right now," as his foot went out. this time to rest carefully and lightly, while the other foot was brought up and past. Very gently and circumspectly he continued on his way until two-thirds of the distance was covered. Here he stopped to examine a depression he must cross, at the bottom of which was a fresh crack. Smoke, watching, saw him glance to the side and down into the crevasse itself and then begin a slight swaying. "Keep your eyes manded sharply. "Now, go on The little man obeyed nor faltered on the rest of the journey. The sun eroded slope of the farther edge of the crevasse was slipiory, but not steep, and he worked his way up to'a nar row ledge, faced about and sat down. "Your turn." he called across. "But just keep a-comiag. and don't look down. That's what got my goat. Just keep a-coinlug. that's all. And get a move on. It's almighty rotten." Balancing his own stick horizontal ly. Smoke essayed the passage. That the bridge was on its last legs was patent. He felt a jar under foot, a slight movement of the mass aud a heavier jar. This was followed by a single sharp crackle. Behind him he knew something was happening. If for no other reason he knew it by the strained, tense face of Carson. From beneath, thin and faint, came the mur mur of running water, and Smoke's eyes involuntarily wavered to a glimpse of the shimmering depths. He jerked them back to the way before him. Two-thirds over he came to the de pression. The sharp edges of the crack, but slightly touched by the sun, showed how recent it was. His foot was lifted to make the steir across when the crack begin slowly widen ing, at the same time emitting numer ous sharp snaps. lie made the step quickly, increasing the stride of it, but the worn nails of his shoe skated on the farther slope of the depression. He fell on his face and without pause slipped down and into the crack, his legs bringing clear, his chest supported by the stick, which he had managed to twist crosswise as he fell. His first sensation was the nausea caused by the sickening upleap of his pulse; his first idea was of surprise that he had faileu no farther. Behind him were crackling and jar and move ment, to which the stick vibrated. From beneath, in the heart of the gla cier, came the soft and hollow thunder of the dislodged masses strikiug bot tom. And still the bridge, broken from its farthest support aud ruptured In the middle. he"!d. though the iortiou he had crossed tilted downward at a pitch of twenty degrees. He could see Carson, perched on his ledge, his feet braced against the melt ing surface, swiftly recoiling the rope frouj his shoulders to Lis hand. "Wait:" he cried. "Dou't move, or the whole shooting match will come down."' He calculated the distance with quick glance, took the bandanna from his neck and tied it to the rope and increased the length by a second ban canna rroin uis pocicct. The rope. manufactured from sled lashings and short lengths of plaited rawhide knot ted together, was both light and strong, xue ursi casi was iuck.v as well as deft, and Smoke's fingers clutched it. He evidenced a hand over hand intention of crawling out of the crack. But Carson, who had re rastenea tne rope around nis own waist, stopped him. "31aKe it last arouna yourself as well," be ordered. "If 1 go I'll take you with me.' Smoke objected. The little man became very peremp tory. "Yoa shut up!" he ordered. "If I ever start going" Smoke be gan. "Shut np! You ain't going to ever start going. Now do what I say That's right under the shoulders Make it fast. Now start. Get a niovc on. but easy as you go. I'll take in the slack. You just keep a-comiog That's it. Easy, easy." Smoke was still a dozen feet away when the final collapse of the bridge began. Without uoise, but in a Jerky way. it crumbled an Increasing tilt. "Quick!" Carson called, coiling it: band over hand on the slack of the rope which Smoke's rush gave him. When the crash came Smoke's flu gers were clawing into the bard fact of the wall of the crevasse, while bis body dragged back with the falling bridge. Carson, sitting up, feet widi apart and braced, was heaving oiT the rope. This effort swung Smoke in t the side of the wall, but it jerked Car son out of his niche. Like a cat he faced about, clawing wildly for a hold on the ice and slipping down. Be neath him, with forty feet of taut rop between them. Smoke was clawing just as wildly, and ere the thuudei from below announced the arrival ot the bridge both men had come to rest Carson had achieved this first, and the several pounds of pull he was able t put on the rope had helped to brint Smoke to a stop. Each lay in a shallow niche, but Smoke's was so shallow that, tense with the f train oT the flattening and sticking, nevertheless he would have slid on bed it not been for the slight assistance he took from the rope, ne was on the verge of a bulge and could not see beneath hiro.
