"Your name is a household word in my part of the country, My people were mixed up in Dakota politics somewhat, so I've al- ways had a great admiration for you, and I'm glad you've come to Alaska. This is a big country. and we need big men." "Did you have any trouble?" Dun bam inquised when the three had ad: Journed to a private room. "Trouble," said Struve ruefully. "WeH, I wonder if I did.

I'haven't:seen her since the day after she got here." "The judge told her it had something to do with preparing the way for his court," said Dunham, "and that if the papers were not delivered before he arrived it might cause a lotiof trouble litigation, riots, bloodshed and all that. He filled her up on .generalities till the girl was frightened to death aud thought the safety of her-uncle and the whole country depended on her." "Well," cdutinued Struve."

Where is the danger? We've got the law, or, rather, we are the law. Now, let's get to work." . It seemed that the boss of North Dakota was no sluggard. He discard ed coat and waistcoat and tackled the documents which Struve laid before him, going through them like a whirl wind. Gradually he infected the oth- ers with his energy, and soon behind the locked doors of Dunham & Struve there were only haste and fever and plot and intrigue. As Helen Chester led the judge .go- ward the flamboyant, three storied ho- tel she prattled to him light heartedly. { The fascination of a new land already { held her fast, and now she felt, in ad- dition, security- and relief. Glenister saw them from a ditance and strode forward to greet them. He beheld a man of perhaps three- score years, benign of aspect save for the eyes, which were neither clear nor steady, but had the trick of looking past one. Glenister thought the mouth, too, rather weak and vacillating, but the clean shaven face was dignified by learning' and acumen and was wrin- kled in pleasant fashion. "My niece has just told me of your service to her," the old gentleman be gan. "I am hdppy to know you, sir." "Besides being a brave knight and assisting ladies in distress, Mr. Glenis- ter Is a very great and wonderful man," Helen explained lighfly. "He owns the: Midas." "Indeed!" said the old man, his shifting eyes now resting full on the other with a flash of unmistakable tne terest, "I hear that is a wonderful wine. Have you begun work yet? "No. We'll commence sluicing day after tomorrow, It has been a late spring, . The znow in the gulch was Geep and the ground thaws slowly. We've been building houses and doing flead work, but we've got our men on the ground waiting." "I am greatly interested. Won't you walk with us to the hotel? I wit to 'hear ' more . about these wonderful placers."™ : "Well, they are great placers," said the minér as. the three walked on tos gether. "Nobody knows how great be- 'cause we've only scrutched at them yet. In. the first place, the ground is #0 shallow and the gold is so easy to get that if nature didn't safeguard us in the winter we'd never dare leave our clalis for fear of 'snipers.' They'd run in and rob us." "How. much will the Anvil creek mines produce this summer? asked ihe judge. "It's Bail to tell, sir, but we expect to average $5,000 a day from the Mi das alone, and there are other claims Just as good." ; | "Your title is 'all clear, I dare say, ld . "Absolutely except for one jumper, and we don't take him seriously.

If we had, our title would be as clean as snow again." He said the last with a peculiar inflection. "You wouldn't use violence, T trust?" "Sure! Why not? It bas worked ali right heretofore." peel "But, my dear sir, those days a gone. The law is here. and it Is the duty of évery one to abide by it."

Again he turned away, but the drunken man seized and whirled him about, repeating his abuse, encoufaged by this apparent patience. / "Your pardon for an Instant... gentle men." McNamara laid a large white and manicured hand upon the flannel sleeve of the miner and gently escorted him through the entrance to the side- walk, while the crowd smiled. As they cleared the threshold, how- ever, be clinched his. fist without a word and, raising it, struck the sot fully and cruelly upon the jaw. His victim fell silently, the back of his head striking the boards with a hollow thump; then, without even obs rving Bow he lay, McNamara re-entered the saloon and took up his éonversation where he had béen interrupted. His voice was as evenly reguiated as his movements, beivaying wot a sign of anger, excitement or bravado.

The buzz of the roulette wheel was re- sumed, and the crap dealer began his monotonous routine: Every eye was fixed on the nonchalant man at the bar, but the unconscious creature out- side fhe threshold lay unheeded, for in these men's code it behooves the most humane to practice a certain aloofness in the matter of private brawls.
