l DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD , " . . I i t I Webster Man's Man By PETER B. KYNE Author of "Cappy Ricks," "The Valley of the Giants," Etc. Ill Copyright by Peter B. Kyno CHAPTER XI Continued. 12 Dolores' voice brok In upon his cun o'lng reflections. "But Billy tells me you ulrendy hnve n fortune sulliclent for fhe ueeds of n caliph without n court. Why risk your previous Ufo to acquire more? Money Isn't everything In life." "No, but, the gnmc Is." "What game? Mining?" "The guine of life." "Hut this Is the game of death." "Which makes life ull the sweeter If I can beat the game. Perhaps 1 can better illustrate my point of view with n story. Some years ngo I was sent to Arizona to examine a mining prop erty and report upon It; If I advised Its purchuse, my principals were pre pared to buy at my valuntlon. Well, when I arrived, I found n miserable plianty close to n shaft and dump, nnd In the shnnty I found n weather-beaten couple. The woman was probably forty but looked fifty. The man had never been anything but n hard-rock miner $1 a day had been the limit of his earnings In any one day until he ntumbled on some float, traced It up, and located the claims I was there to xamlne and try to buy. "Ills wife had been a miner's daugh ter, knowing nothing but drudgery nnd poverty and continuing that existence after marriage. For 20 years she had fjeon darning her husband's socks, washing his clothes, nnd cooking his meals. Even after they uncovered the ledge, It wasn't worth any more than the country rock to them unless they could sell It, because the man had neither the money nor tho ability to develop It himself. lie even lacked 'the ability to sell it, because It re quires real ability to unload any kind of a mine for $1,000,000, and real nerve on the pnrt of the man who buys. I examined the mine, decided 1t was cheap nt $1,000,000, nnd so re ported to my principals. They wired me to close, nnd so I took a CO-day option In order to verify the title. "Well, time passed, nnd one bright day I rode up to that shnnty with n deed and a certified check for $1,000,- 000 lc my pocket; whereupon I dis covered the woman had had a change of heart and hurked over the traces. No, blree! She would not sign thot there deed and Inasmuch as the claim was community property, her signa ture was vitally necessary. She asked me so many questions, however, as to the size of the .stamp mill we would Install and how many miners would be employed on tho job, that finnlly I f-nw the light and tried a shot in the dark. "My dear Mrs. Skaggs," I said, "if you'll sign this deed and save us nil a lot of litigation over this option you and your husband have given me, I'll do something handsome. I will on my word of honor I'll give you the exclusive boarding house privilege nt this mine." "And what did she say, Caliph?" "She snld: 'Give mo the pen, Mr. Webster, and please excuse my hand writing; I'm that nervous In business matters.'" Dolores' si' very laughter rippled through tho room. "But I don't, see the point." she protested. "We will come to It presently. 1 was merely explaining one person's point of view. You would not, of course, expect me to hnvc the same point of view ns Mrs. Skaggs of Ari zona." "Certainly not." "All right! Listen to this 1 In 1007, at the height of the boom times In Goldfield, Nov. I was worth $1,000,000. On the first dny of October I could linye cashed In my mining stocks for $1,000,000 ntid I had a lot of ensh In bonk, too. tint I'd always worked so hanl and been poor so long that my wealth didn't mean nnythlng to me. 1 wanted the exclusive privilege of more slavery, nnd so I staked a copper prospect, which later I discovered to consist of uncounted acres of country rock and nbout $"" worth of copper ntnln. In onJor to save $100 I did my own assessment work, drovo a pick Into my foot, developed blood poison. Awnt to thf hospital, and wns nice nnd helpless when the panic ciuno along thu mtrt'lk' of the month. The bank nt bust, and my ready cash wont with It: I couldn't give my mining stocks nway. Everybody knew I wns r paupei everybody but the doctor, lie nerslstod In regarding me as n mil lionaire and sent me n bill for $5,000." "How perfectly outrageous I Why, Caliph, I -voulcl have let him sue me." "1 would have, too but I didn't. I Induced him to settle for $100,000 shares of stock In my copper prospect. The par value wns $1 a share, and I wns go'ng to sell a block nt 10 cents, but I? view of his high professional ntanding I let him have It for a nickel a share. I Imagine he still has It. I bought back later all the other stock I sold, because tho property was worthless, nnd In order to be n sport I offered him ?500 for his block, but be thought I wns trying to swindle bfm and asked $5,000." "Oh, Caliph!" "Wonderful game, Isn't It this fame of -life. Bo sweet when n fel low's taking chances ! Now that I am fairly prosperous again, the only thing t lb7c that really tnattA-a I the tu. certainty us to whether, when finally I do leave Sobrante, I shall ride to the stenuishlp landing In a hack or a hearse." "But you could go In a hnck this morning nnd avoid that uncertainty." "The millionaire drudgo I told you of could hnve gone to live In a pretty villa on the Illvlern, but she chose a minor's boarding house." "Then why," she persisted, "did you leave the United States with tho firm .Intention of remaining In Sobrnnto In definitely, change ypur mind before you were here eight' hours, nnd cable this Neddy Jerome person you would return In 00 or 00 days and the fol lowing morning decide to remain, aft er nil 1" "My dear young lady, If I chnnged ray clothes as often us I change my mind, the what-you-mny-cnll-'em chaps that manufacture a certain brand of clothes couldn't keep me dressed." "But why?" "That," he answered gravely, "Is n secret." "Women delight to pry Into men's secrets." "I know It Hnd a friend once. mnrrled. Every night after dinner he used to sit and stare Into the fire nnd his wife used to ask him what he was thinking about. He would look up nt her owllshly and tell her It was some thing he couldn't explain to her, be cause she'd never understand It nnd that was all he would tell her, al though right frequently, I dare sny, he felt like telling her some things she could understand? She brooded over his secret until sho couldn't stand It any more, and one day she packed her duds nnd flew home to mother. He let her stay there three months, nnd finally one day he sent her a blue print of what he'd been thinking about." "What was It?" "An Internal-combustion engine. You see, until she left him, he'd never been able to get set to figure out something In connection with the Inlet valves " "Stop right there, Caliph. I'm re buked. I'll lot you get set to think ". "1 didn't mean that. You let me get set yesterday and I figured It all out then and last night and a min ute ago. I don't care to do nny more thinking today. I'lease tnlk to me." "And you refuse to tell me why you cabled your friend Jerome?" '"You will never know. I told you It's a .secret." "Bet you I find out." "How much? That $10,000 you ex pect to make from the Hour-gold In your black-sand claim? And, by the way, $10, please. I won It for guessing-you were Interested In n mining proposition." Sho returned to htm the bill she had won from him the day before. "Ten thousand dollars suits me. Of course, I haven't ?ot the money just now, and this is what Billy calls a finger bet, but If I losfc, I guarantee to pay. Are wo betting even money? I think thot is scarcely fair. Undor the circum stances I should be entitled to oddft." "Nothing doing! No odds on t. bet of this nature to a sceress who has al ready jarred me from soul to vermi form appendix by making good ! You knov too i)!nined much already, and how you discovered It Is a problem that may drive mo crazy yet." After breakfast they repaired to tho veranda to await tho result of Web ster's experiment with Don Juan Cnfe tero. Sure enough, tho wreck had nguln returned, he wns seated on the edge of tho veranda waiting for them; ns they approached, he held up n grimy, quiv ering hand, in the palm of which Iny a live-dollar gold piece. "What?" Mr. Webster said, amazed. "Still unchanged 4" "I thried to change It nt half a dozen cantinas," Don Junn wheezed, "hut dlvil u bit nv systim did any nv thlm have, Wnn offered this In splggoty money an' the other offered that, nn' sure If I'd taken the best that was offered me In exchange, ye might have fought I'd tuk more nor wan dhrlnk." "Bravo! Three long, loud, raucous cheers for Don Juun Cufetero!" Do lores cried. "Was It a terrible task to come back without n drink, Don Juan?" lie shivered'. "A shljy-blue kangaroo wit' a pink tall nn" green ears chased me Into this patio, mn'utn." "You're very brave, CatTerty. How does It feel to win back your self respect?" Webster asked him. "Beggln' tne young leddy's pardon It feels like hell, sor." "Cullph, don't be cruel," Dolores pleaded. "Call a waiter and give Don Juan what you promised him." So Webster went Into the hotel bar mid returned presently with n bottle of brandy nnd a glass, which he filled and held out toward Don Junn. "One of the paradoses of existence, Don Juan," ho observed, "lies in tho fact that so many of the things In life that are good for us are bad for us. This Jolt will disperse tho menagerie and quiet your nerves, but nevertheless It Is a mill In your coffin." Webster, accompanied by his pro tege, strolled uptown on a shopping tour. Here ho outfitted Don Juan neatly hut not guudlly nnd added to his own personal effects two high-nw- Bonrtloa rule, thrc Ur9-ci- Iber nutomntlc pistols, and a plen tiful supply of nramunltlon nftor which he returned to the hotel, first having conducted Don Juan to a bnr ber shop nnd given him Instructions to report for orders and his mid-day drink tho Instant ho should have ac quired the outwnnl evidences of re spectability. At the hotel Webster . found two messnges airaltlng him. One was from Billy Geary, up at San Miguel de Pad ua, advising him that everything was In readiness for a trip to the mine; tho other was a note from ftienrdo Ruey, but signed with his alias of Andrew Bowers. Webster rend: ' "Dear Friend: "A certain hlgher-up hns been con vinced that It would bo extremely in advisable to eliminate you now. It has been pointed out to this person thnt you are a prom. clt. up In your neck of the woods nnd dangerous to monkey with personally and because such monkeying may lead to unpleas ant complications with your paternal government. A far more artistic and effective way of raising hell with you hns been suggested to this higher-up Individual, and he has accepted It In deed, the plnn pleased him so much that he laughed quite heartily. Ileal ly, It Is quite diabolical, but remem ber, he who lnughs last laughs best and I'm the villain In this sketch. "Barring accidents, my dear Web ster, you are good for at least six weeks of existence. Beyond that I dare not guarantee you. "Thine, "ANDUEW BOWEUS." "That makes It nice," the recipient of this comforting communication so liloquized. He went up to his room, packed a duffle bng with such belong ings ns he would Hnd necessary dur ing n prolonged stny In tho mountains, nnd nt luncheon wns fortunute enough to find Dolores in the dlnfng room when he entered. "I'm going up to Snn Miguel de Pad ua this afternoon," he announced ns he took his sent. A look of extreme anxiety clouded her lovely face, and he noticed It. "Oh, there's no risk," he hastened to assure her. "That scamp of a brother of yours, through his friends In high jilaccs, has man aged to get me n reprieve." He hand ed her Itlcardo's letter. Slio looked up, Inuch relieved, from her perusal. "And how long do you expect to bo gone, Cullph?" "Quite a while. I'll ho busy around that dratted concession for a couple 'of weeks, sucveying and assaying nnd whnt-all; then, while waiting for our machinery and supplies to arrive from the United States, I shall devote my spare time to hunting nnd fishing nnd reforming Don Juan Cafetero. The cool hills for mine." "What a selfish, unsociable pro gram I" she reflected. "I wonder If It will occur to him to come down hero once In a whjle and take mo for n drive on the Mnlecon nnd talk to tee to keep mo from dying of ennui before I meet Klcnrdo. I'll wait and see If he Ruggests It" Ilmvevei, for reasons best known to himself und the reader, Mr. Webster f made no such Interesting suggestion; so she decided that while he wns tre mendously nice, he was, nevertheless, a very queer man nnd thoroughly ex asperating. Just before the train polled out John Stuart Webster took Dolores' hnnd. "Good-by, Seeresa," ho said very soberly. "The trail forks, hero for the first time possibly tho last, although I'll 2ry to bo on hand to mnke good on my promise to present you to your brother tho day he oc cupies the palace. However, If I shouldn't be In town that day. Just go up end Introduce yourself to him. rt's been wonderful to have met you and known you, even for such n brief period. I shall never forget you nnd tho remarkable ill hours Just passed." "I shall not soon forget them my self. Cnllph nor you," she added. "Haven't you been a busy little cup of tea, Caliph! Within 21 hours after landing, you have changed your mind three, times, lost tho best Job In the world, had your fortune told, been marked for slaughter, acquit ed n new found friend and commenced nctlvely and with extraordinarily good results the work of reforming him, boused a gentleman In the fountain, spurned another with tho tip of your boot, rode with me nround the Malecon and listened to the bund concert, bundled poor Billy off to San Miguel de Pad ua, discovered my brother presumed to be dead, nnd received a reprieve from your enemies, while they per fect new plans for destroying you. Kenlly, you are ijulto a cnllph." "Oh, there's a dash of speed In tho old horse yet, Miss Ituey," he assured her laughingly. "Now listen ; don't tell anybody nbout your brother, nnd don't tell Billy nbout my adventures since he left for San Miguel do Padua," "But I'm not liable to see Billy " "Yes, you nre extremely liable. I'm going to wnd him hack to you ns soon ns I can sparo him, because I know you'll be lonesome ami bored to denth In this lonesome town, und Bill Is bully good company. And I don't want you to tell him about the mess I'm In, because It would only worry him; ho rnn'l nld tax and Urn Iccowltirtau thnt I wns In any danger, real or fancied, would be sufficient to cnusc him to rebel ncnlnst my plans for his honeytn for his vncntlon. ne'd In sist on sticking around to protect mo." He looked down at her little hand where It rested In his, so big and brown nnd hanl; with his free hand he patted her hand paternally, "Good by, Secrcss," he said ngnln; and turn ing to the steps, ho leaped aboard Just as the train started to movo out of the station. "Goo good-by Caliph," sho called mournfully. Then to herself: "Bless his heart, he did remember I'd be terribly lonely, after nil. Ilo Isn't n bit queer, but oh, denr, ho Is so ex asperating. I could bump his kind old head against a wall !" She turned her hack on the train, fenrful that from where he clung on the steps he could, even nt that distance, seo the sudden rush of tears that blinded her. However, Don Juan Cafetero, with his rubicund nose to tho window of tho last conch, did seo them-rsaw her grojie toward the carriage wnltlng to tnke her back to tho hotel. "Why, shure, the poor durllnt's cry In'," he reflected. "Bo tho Great Gun nn Athlone! Shure I fought nil along 'twas Billy Geary she hnd her eye on God love him I An' be the same token, didn't sho tell me I was to shtny sober nn' tnko care at Mlshter Web.stor. Hah-hah-a-at Weill I'll say nothln' nn' I'll be neuthrnl, but but hut " From which It may be Inferred thnt romance was not yet burned out of Don Juan's Gaelic soul. Ho would be "neuthrnl," but but but he re served the right to butt In I CHAPTER XII Arrived at San Miguel de Padua about midnight, Webster found the climate temperate, in fact, decidedly cool. Billy was waiting for them nnd was properly amazed, but not scan dalized when Don Junn Cafetero, uhushig the station hands In a horri ble hodgepodge of English aivl Span ish, superintended the lnmllng of the bnggugo on the plntform. "I hnd to bring him with' me," Web ster explained. "I'm golujj to wean him, and after that baby quits cry ing for his bottle, nellcve me. Bill, we'll hnve tlwj prince of n foreman for oi.r mine Quite n character, Is Don .Tun11, when you dig down Into him." "Dig fur enough into thnt ruin and you'll find lire crackers," Billy admit ted. "However, John, I'm afraid he won't explode. The powder's daw;. How did you lenve Dolores?" "Fit as a fiddle. BUI." "How docs she stack v on better acquaintance, Johnny?" "She's n skookuii' hiss. Sho sent her love und I promised to send you buck to her P. D. Q. sTi don't bother me with tnlk nbout her. You'll see her nguln Ja n week or ten days, I hope." "Not Is that so, Johnny? Bully for you, you old wampus cat. Tell Don Juan to steer you over to the Olobo'de Oro. He knows tho place. I've got to go and hire a mule or somo other qundruped for Don Juan If we'ro lo nvoid a late start In tho morning. Good night, old fellow." They were up at daybreak, and with three henvlly laden pack njule In chnrge of two seml-nuked niozos, whllo the cook Jogged comfortably along on his big spiny feet In tho rear, they set out for Billy's concession. For 30 miles they followed the high way, and then debouched to the south west nlong u neglected road Just wide enough to accommodate the clumsy ox carts of the peons. The country was sparsely settled and evidently giv en over to stock raising. Darkness hnd descended on the val ley by the time they hnd- pitched camp at tho claim. They were up at dawn tho following morning, however, ami Immediately nftor breakfast Jack Webster went to his duffle bag and In (Might forth a dozen llttJ canvas sin is und n prospector's hummer. "Nw then, WIHInni, my son," ho an nounced, "light the lantern und we'll see tf you've forgotten all l taught you about mining." 'J hey clninbered up the dump to if po ut where two light steel mils pro. Je led over tho edge. On top of the dump, lying beside the rails, were two small, nihty, steel ore cars; the rails led from tho edge of the dump to the mouth of u tunnel In the hillside and dlMippeured therein. Webster stood u moment, looking nr-iind him. "How did you huppen to locate this ledge?" he demanded. "Wuh It grnss root stuff, with un out cropping here nt the foot of the lilll? No. of course, It wusn't. You haven't enough oro on the dump. What the devil were you driving ut?" "Only n small portion of thut dump Is mine, Jack, nnd I didn't locate the ground originally. I enmo Into this valley from the south, nnd ns I worked tip Hie range, I found a bnld spot close to the top of the hill, nnd n gal lows frame over un nbandoned shnft. Naturally, I went down the shaft to see why It hud been abandoned. To my surprise, I found a 12-foot vein of free-milling ore, on a contact be tween iindeslto nnd Silurian limestone. The ledicu vtood atraight, up ami down. which seemed to argnf jfrrat fjjjttei "Somebody hnd found nn ontcropJ ping on top of thnt hill," Webster dJ clnred with conviction, "nnd sunk shaft on tlie vein to open it up nnd de termine Its width nnd direction. And whnt did you do, Bill?" "I tot my transit and ran n lln from the shnft on the hill, following tho direction In which the ledgo wni running, nnd marked out the exact point toward the base of the hill where 1 would start my tutitfcl to cut the ledge. To my surprise, I discovered my predecessor hnd selected that Identical spot. So 1 verified 'my cal culations and then snt dowu to think It over. I remembered thnt frequent and violent earthquakes occur In thli country, nnd it Deemed to mo a rea sonable hypothesis to blame some an cient nnd particularly violent seismic disturbance, which had faulted the vein and set It over a considerable distance. According to my calcula tion, thnt other man should hnvo cut tho vein at 83 feet yet ho had gone on 10:2 before quitting. So I got half n dozen peons and drove ahead .19 feet on the other fellow's tunnel ; nnd by Heck, Johnny, I cut the vein!" "Bully boy! And then?" "I drifted ten feet on the vein, and the ore suddenly gave out. It stopped Just like thot, proving I'd como to the upper end of tho vein whero It hnd faulted; so I Just worked up nnd around, stopetng nnd sinking a "wlnw here nnd there, until Just about the time my cash reserve was getting pret ty low I picked up the true vein nn4 opened It up for tho full width. Come In, nnd I'll show you." They entered tho tunnel, to tho sift nal dismay of dozens of large bata. When they reached the vein, Webster broke off samples of the oro every three or four feet, crnwled nftor Hilly up through the stopo and bnck to thfl true vein, from tho face of which he also took numerous samples; then he crnwled out Into the sunshine nguln. hot, dirty, and perspiring. "Billy, you'll be n real miner yet; see If you won't," wns ull the praise S&a.-""- "Billy, You'll De a Real Miner Yet" ( lie tendered his youthful partner, standing bushju him In antidilution 01 a compliment, ns Webster got out hi portable ussuy outfit For threo dnys Webster worked determining the values of ench sam ple, only to find that his nssayn com firmed Billy's. "You we right, son," ho finnlly announced.. "This mine if n humdinger nnd no mistake; If yon and I live ten yours we'll bo worth $10,000,000 between us maybe more." Billy's Jaundiced eyes glowed hun grily. "We'll put In 11 hundred stumps " "Well, we'll try ten for n starter," Webster Interrupted dryly, "and add more as the mine pays Its way. 7.t' tho sweetest mining proposition in earth only, like all high-class goovla.
