And then he came upon something that confirmed the obvious deduction. It was a rotting wooden cradle. Beside It lay a rusty pick. Not far away were two huge iron pans, their bottoms ealen out with rust, so that they resembled fretwork In steel. Under them were still the ashes and charred residue of the wood that had been used to thaw out the frozen earth. All about among the fallen rocks were mounds, the residue from the pans after the extraction of the gold, now covered with tangles of dead vegetation. There was no longer any doubt that tills was Tellys gold mine. Before making further investigations here, Lee decided to explore the remainder of the chasm. It ran on beyond the bend for a quarter of a mile, and then came to an abrupt termination. Without any gradual lessening of the depth it simply ceased, the two cliff walls coming together, In the same way as they did near the rocking stone at the other end. The chasm was, in fact, simply an elongated crater. Returning, Lee made his way to the cave formed by the explosion.

Lee Anderson, Royal Canadian Mounted Police sergeant, is sent to Stony Range to arrest a man named Felly for murder. He is also instructed to look after Jim Uathway, reputed head of the Free Traders, illicit liquor runners. At Little Falls he finds Pelly is credited with having found a gold mine, and is missing.

The girl sets out for Siston Lake, which is also Anderson's objective. He overtakes her and the two men with whom he had trouble the night before. She is suspicious of him and the two men are hostile. Pierre and Shorty ride on, Anderson and the girl following. In the hills the road is blown up before and behind the two. Anderson, with his horse, is hurled down the mountain side, senseless. Recovering consciousness, Anderson finds the girl has disappeared, but he concludes she is alive and probably in the power ot Pierre and Shorty. On foot he makes his way to Siston Lake. There he finds his companion of the day before, and Pathway, with a girl, Estelle, a former sweetheart of Andersons, who had abused his confidence and almost wrecked his life. Pathway strikes Estelle, and after a fight Anderson, with Estelles help, escapes with the Andersons companions girl. mind is clouded and she is sufa dislocated knee. with fering Anderson sets the knee and makes the girl as comfortable as possible.

She is daughter of the man Anderson Torn has been sent to arrest. between her love for her father and her regard for Anderson, the girl practically drives him from her. In the forest Anderson stumbles upon the entrance to a gorge and is convinced he has located Pelly's mine. In the tunnel he is attacked by an unseen adversary, whom he takes to be Pelly. A knife thrust is turned aside by the girl's hair in his blouse. Escaping, he returns to the cabin, to find Joyce gone. He follows her trail to the mission of Father McGrath. The priest repulses him, but Joyce feels her love return and welcomes him.

If Felly had taken refuge within the gorge, It was Incredible that he would not have resumed operations. And these seemed to have been Interrupted unexpectedly, to judge from the exposure of the pans to wind and weather. Ferplexed and disappointed, Lee turned his thoughts toward the capture of the man who had attacked him in the tunnel. lie could no doubt throw light on Tellys whereabouts. Terliaps he was the assistant of whom Joyce had spoken. Lee expected that he would be lurking In the tunnel, ready to renew his attack, but this time there should be no such fiasco as before. Lee made Ills way back on the opposite side of the gorge. Here there was a thick growth of dwarfed scrub laurel, which had taken root in the soil brought down b,y the little stream, and bordered It, extending back' from It toward the cliff In a sort of miniature Jungle. Something protruding out of this growth arrested Lees attention. It was a wooden cross carved with the name, HELENE TELLY, standing up above a low cairn of boulders. Lee stood and looked, and vaguely mournful thoughts coursed through his mind. It was a sad and lonely burying place for Joyces mother. Its existence there was in Itself a testimony to the old mans mental condition that lie should have carried his wdfes body through the tunnel to that place of his dreams. And yet It was certain that no prowling thing would ever violate that grave. Lee went on, and, a few steps further, stumbled against something else. It was the skeleton of a man, the bones protruding through the rents and tatters of the scarecrow clothes. The laurel tangles sprouted between the ribs. The bones were bleached white, the flesh had long since disappeared. One bony hand still tightly clutched the handle of a large, revolver. The muzzle was choked with rust; there were rusted cartridges inall. side. Disengaging Itwith difficulty from (iip fingers, Lee saw, on the less rusted portion of the handle which they had protected, the Initials, C. F. But he hardly needed that to know that his mission was at an end, and the last barrier between himself and Joyce overthrown. The problem so Inscrutable an hour before had been solved.' All cause for antagonism between them had come to an end. And Lee was conscious of a quiet satisfaction. It was the happiest solution, and though Joyce would grieve, she would come to see that it was the best. She would be glad, after the first shock, that her father would not have to face the ordeal which he had dreaded for so many years. But as Lee looked down at the remains of the dead man, he became aware of a single fact. Nearly every bone on one side of the skeleton was broken the skull, ribs, arm and leg bones, and pelvis. Then Telly had not died of a stroke or from a sudden attack of heart failure. He had fallen from the summit of the cliff above perhaps he had been flung down, for the revolver which he had been clutching showed that he had either encountered or anticipated an enemy. And, filled with a mixture of emotions happiness for tlielr future, grief for the news that he must break to Joyce, Lee made his way toward the tunnel. Buc all at once he made the singular and unexpected discovery that he did not know w here the entrance was.
