CHAPTER XV Continued IS It wss only through hie alert-eye- d curiosity as s scientiat that he him-se- lt on a field trip last summer, had suspected the secret of the lake. Along the landwash he had noticed pitchblende stains in the rock, and ha had also observed that they were mm numerous and pronounced at the water edge than farther back. Taking his cue from that, he ad waded out knee-deegrubbed under the water, mucked away the silt, and turned up a h sheet of the blackish ora. On out, as far as he could wade, the deposit was two inches thick. Those were the simples which he had carried in his pack and which had ruined his photograph films . . After he and Poleon had eaten dinner, they took their hand drill, hovels and half s case of dynamite, and hurried out toward the cente.- - of the lake. A stiff cold wind was blowing down rom the Arctic ocean, but the apple-gree- n sky was cloudless, the sun hot; and high overhead a wedge of blue geese, earliest of the migrants, were winging north toward their rookery ground! in Baffin Land. They camfc to the little area, In the exact middle of the lake, which they had not yet prospected. In the center of the area Craig selected a spot for pit No. 65. They picked up their shovels and began scooping away the snow over a space IS feet square. It took them an hour to lay the ice bare. Poleon fetched the drill and oiled it Taking turn about, one of them steadied the wobbly contraption while the other spun the big raspy wheeL After boring down five feet into the ice, they pulled the drill out, prepared two dynamite cartridges, lowered them into the hole with a string, and then tramped out across the snow to a safe distance. The explosion lifted a cloud of ice and big chunks high In the air. When the cloud had settled, they trudged back, shoveled out the loose debris, and drilled on down to the lake bed. Craig dropped In four sticks that time. To make a good ob of it," he remarked, looking at his calloused and blistered hands. We can spare dynamite better than our strength. Lets clear away. This is going to be a big puff.

All right, I'll find out what I i." DeCarie agreed, and left. He was gone a full hour and a half. He came back excited, bang-- 1 lh door shut and bursting out: 'Good Lord, has Tarlton got a radium deposit! Did he locate a concentration! He didn't try to keep anything back from me hes got the lode staked, filed, sewed up airtight He even allowed me to look specimens over and see his plot the lake; and we talked about the geology of the lode for a whole hour! As Warren listened to DeCarle's description of the radium find, his self - control completely deserted him. His face turned gray, his hands twitched. Fumbling tor a cigarette, fumbling for a match to light it, he sat down heavily at his desk, sta.'ing at the geologist. In the last fortnight, and especially since Patricia had definitely refused hia bargain of returning to Chicago with him, he had built up a careful plan as to what he was going to do if Tarlton did come back with a rich mine. But now, face to face with the necessity of using that plan, he hesitated. The scheme was a dangerous one, a criminal recourse. And besides, it might not work against Tarlton. DeCarie finished hia account For few momenta neither man spoke. DeCarie reached for a cigarette, lit it held the match to Warren's. "Looks aa though he'i got us in a bad comer, Warren," he remarked. Warren wetted hia dry lips. Yes bad," he mumbled. He tried to fight off the numbing shock and to think. "These figures, these estimates you've told me are you sure about them? Dead sure? If anything," DeCarie laid, Tarlton has underestimated hia discovery." Warren asked one last question. What are his plana, his immediate plans, about the lode? "I couldnt very well inquire, and he didn't say. We talked mostly about the scientific features of this foot-thic- Three Days Cough I Danger Signal if i x i en bene-L10btai- ned Hi ET RID OF fHG UGLY PORES .'OF DATES NOW...

Hiyu beef radium strike the words thoroughly jolted him. For weeks he had been deathly afraid that Tarlton would come Lack from his secret trip with some rich lade in his pocket The fellow was an uncanny geologist, with a miraculous nose for mineral; and he knew this Resurrection territory like an open book. If he did have a radium strike, he'd sell to these Vanguard people or aome other concern; he'd hold the men together; he'd have this And whole field in hia power. Patricia would stay on, working with him After a moment's swift thinking he ordered Lupe: Go down to cabin and ask him to step up here. Then you get back across to that community house and scout around and pick up any information you can. When DeCarle came In, a few minutes,' later, Warren told him about the radium rumor.

Tell me, yes or no could Tarlton have found a radium property that ha can raise quick money on?. "Yes. That's what 1 wanted to know, Suppose you go over to his place and set if you can find out anything from him. Td go myself, but you're on better terms with him than I am. and you're a geologist Ha may talk about It with yotf. "What's Year Game, Warren? deposit But I assume he's going out to Edmonton or Winnipeg and lay his data before some mining company that has money. Warren got up and walked over to the window and stood looking out oblivious to DeCarie and to the slant sunshine outside. The crushing advantage of money power, which he had used with heavy band all that winter, had suddenly vanished. Tarlton waa no longer penniless, feeding those men on phunises. fighting a defensive fight on sheer nerve. He too had money and power, or would have before many days. He had gone out and secured a mine property of spectacular value, and was at last in ofposition to launch a withering Now we'U settle it on the fensive. basis of might We'U battle it out those were Tarlton's words to him in this cabin on New Year' day. Talton had the might row. He had been a fool he told himself, no to take Tarltons offer. last January. And a worse fool ever to have come on this Arctic venture at all. He had overreached a fatal mistake which he had seen other business men make. Instead of beaet-u- p that he had exing the easy affair pected. this Dynamite Bay had turned into a dangerous gamble. with ruinous consequences to himself personally if he lost - AU in all, he wss at a crisis in his career. He was facing nothing less than personal annihilation. DeCarie's voice broke into his ul ' thoughts. What're you going to do about to do this, Warren? You've got something, end damned quick.' Warren turned from the window. with deciHia face waa hard-ac- t . sion. . he "Go find Lupe, got Tell him tp come here. Ive a job for him. CHAPTER YI that same evening. At at Teeito Chiwaughlm! appeared was owl-dus- k What does ha want to see me about? "I dono. He Jus say it to beezness." Craig glanced out into the purpling twilight of half-panine at the dark river and the dark fringe of woods across Resurrection. To go over there would be like walking into a lion den; and just now, when the welfare of 300 men waa bound ur with hit own personal safety, he was taking no chances. Wherever he went, Poleon and Sam Honeywell walked betide him; and they carried rifles. He said to the Chlwaughimi, Go back and tell ll'iieu Lovett that if he wants to see me he'll have to come over here. When the metis was gone, Craig turned again to hta list of mining companies, trying to remember something about their head men and figure out hta beat prospects. He had decided to get out to the city country as swiftly he could, take hta data straight to company president! and directors, and sell his radium lake outright, at a sacrifice figure a hundred thousand, if he could get that much. The personal loss of nearly (2,000,000 meant little to him. The thing that mattered waa to save this field for the men and to drive ahead with hta program. Someone knocked at the office door. Craig turned, saw Warren Lovett there. Come in, Warren, he bade, placing a chair for hia visitor. Warren sat down, laid hia hat on the desk. DeCarie told me about your radium lode, Tarlton. I wasn't exactly glad to hear the news, of course, but I suppose I ought to congratulate you nevertheless. Thats kind of you. But what did you want to see me about? "This lode, Warren answered, without hedging. "Youre going to sell it, I assume, to raise money. Craig nodded. Warren drummed on the table: Since you're going to sell Finally: anyway, I wonder whether you might consider negotiating with me. If you and I can work out a deal, itll save you expense, time and trouble, my company being already on the ground." Surprised, Craig looked at Warren narrowly. "What's your game, Warren? There's no game, I assure you. This Is purely a business proposition. We can make a mutually advantageous deal You need money cash at once. I need your mine, ru give you as good a price as you can get anywhere else, and maybe better. Craig shook his head. "Warren, I don't believe I care to deal with you on anything. You're out for yourself, first, last and always; and sometimes you deal from the bottom uf the deck. Warren's cheekbones reddened, but he made no reply to the thrust he said presently, 'Tarlton, you're quite right in thinking that I'm out for myself in this proposition. I am, and I'U explain why. I've got to get back to Chicago. There's a federal investigation on, down there; it's getting ugly; and nobody except myself can handle it Besk'ei. Parkes to edging me out of the firm and I've got to fight him. If 1 stay here in the Arctic any longer, I'm going to lose the position that I worked 12 years to attain. Craig's interest picked up. He knev that Warren waa talking honestly. o far at least for Patricia had told Poleon about Parkes and the investigation. I've been hanging cm and on here, Warren continued, in hope that these men would break. But they didn't rnd now you're back with a valuable property, and well, I realize that the field to yours. I intend to close out my Dynamite Bay affaire to the beat advantage I can. and return to Chicago. Where does my pitchblende lake fit into this picture? Craig inquired. 'T've got to take back something to show for the time and money I've spent on this venture. Except for the Kessler hill block, the claims I own now are not a very striking exhibit. Your radium property would be. That's why I .want to buy it. Puzzled a to what Warren's game was. Craig decided to probe a bit and find out. eem-porta- nt st How much are you offering for the lode? How much are you asking?" "Two hundred and fifty thousand, Craig said coolly. Thats a steep price. Warren That's a quarter of a objected. million." Its hardly an eighth of what the lode to worth. D'you call that a steep price?" "Well, no, not exactly,'' Warren admitted. "Parkes and old Wellington would never go that high on a But I can make ingle claims-blocup the difference, I suppose, out of my own money. The lode's worth it All right I'll pay you two hundred and fifty thousand.
