ried and went west to live on a ranch.
Alter they'd mnde good as far as the
farm went and settled themselves to
live in peace some fool discovered gold
on the edge of their land. That started
tke trouble. It seems they bought it
from an Indian one (ieorge Black-
rock who had graduated from Car

Mills, millionaire stock broker. Mills
helped Hlnckrock to make money and

Of the land that once belonged to his
wn people. He divided the estate and
sold Max half. Then he married a
white girl, built a house and should
have been happy. Hut they suy he has
a daughter seventeen or eighteen years
old he's crazy about, and since the gold
has been discovered he's making all
kinds of trouble. Claims a wrong sur
vey and all that. So here's where I
come in. It's my pleasant duty to stand
up nnd tell this Indian that he'd better
get off aud keep moving.

Things are getting Interesting at the

Another bag gone ! Belvardos blames
the Indian, and strangely enough I saw
the girl again. I'm going to Investigate
tomorrow. Note Tke girl Is pretty.
1 got a closer view of her thla time. I'd
like to see her again.
SEPTEMBER 10.
Snooped around all day and dida't
see a tiling until ou my way home.
Across a wild ravine I spied smoke
among the trees. Field glasses ShoWOSl
a small tent or wigwam. Almost dark,
so I came home. I'm going tomorrow.
SEPTEMBER 25.
It's a week since I've written asy
thlng In my diary, but events happened
so quick and fast that day and wound
up by my getting hurt that I haven't
beeu able to hold a pen. I'm better now,
and But I'll go back. Found tent.
No one answered my polite knock, so 1
lifted the latch and wulked in. There
were two cots nicely made aud covered
with Indian blankets, a board floor with
a blanket for a rug, a table, two willow
Chairs and fixings everywhere that no
tuan would think of.
This was a sort of rest room for
daughter. Then the gold bugs occurred
to me. If daughter hud taken them,
perhaps they were secreted here. I
w ould search ! The floor seemed to be
the most likely place, so In a second 1
was down on my knees rolling back
the rug and feeling for a loose board.
Suddenly there was a crack of a guu
and 1 felt a sharp pain in my left side.
When I regained my senses It was
sunset and I was lying ou one of the
cots In the little Indian tent all ban
daged up und feeling hot aud thirsty.
Then the pretty Indian girl came In.
She gave lue a cup of water and held
my head while 1 drunk. "How do you
feel now?" she asked In the richest,
sweetest voice you ever heard.
"Just great I" I found voice to say,
and I felt like adding, "I wouldn't
mind staying this way forever."
"Who shot uie?" I asked.
She sobered. "I'm not sure, for I
didn't see," she answered. "You'd bet

"Who is ErmaT"
"Erma Blackrock. My frl..-nd!"
"So'there are two of you? I thought

membered Mldas Mills. But I wus more
puzzled than ever. This girl was cer

eyes aud hair.
Seeing my perplexity, she laughed
again aud, seizing a haudkerchief,

Well, to make it short, the Mexican

aud shot me. If It hadn't been for Mar

It all ended by Max aud the Indian

Beware of Closed Mind.
Beware of the closed mind. This
sounds like a pnradox when addressed
to oting men, yet it will, I think, beat
examination. It is a truism to say
that the dunger of maturity, und espe

mind to new Ideas. Habit, most pow
erful of influences, hard expert eec
the very passage of the years, all alik'
tend to stiffen the muscles and to hard
