And without looking back to see
the result of bis ultimatum, Falrchlld
rose, strode to the door, unlocked It,
and stamped down the hall, lie had
taken snap Judgment, but in bis heart,
lie felt that he was right. What was
more, he was as sure as he was sure

child's brain and causing It to seethe

•Tt Falrchlld it all stood out plainly
and clearly—the Itodalnes!
And yet why? That one little word
halted Falrchlld as he left the eleva-
tor. Why? What did they know
about the Blue I'oppy mine, when
neither he nor Harry had any Idea of
what the future might hold for them
there? That day In court Itodalne
had said that the Blue I'oppy mine
was a good property and that It was
worth every cent of the value hlch
had been placed on It. How did h>
know? And why—?
Suppose- that It had been Anita
Itichmond after all who had arranged
I lib ? It was logical In a way. Maurice
Kodalne was the one man who could
give direct evidence against Harry as
the man who had held up the Old
Times dance, and Anita now was en-
gaged to marry him .fudge Itichmond
had been a friend of Thornton Falr-
chlld; could it have been possible that
tills friendship might have entailed
tlie telling of secrets which had not
been related to anyone else? The
matter of the finding of the skeleton
uld be handled easily, ,'alrchild
saw. through Maurice Itodalne. One
woi I from him to his father could
change the story of Crazy Laura and
make it, on the second telling, only
the maundering tale of an Insane,
herb-gathering woman. Anita could
have arranged It, and Anita might
have arranged it. Yet, why should
she have gone through this procedure
to re.o Ii film? Why had she not gone
to Farrell with the proposition—to a
man whom she knew Fuircblld trust
ed, instead of to a greasy, hand-rub-
bing shyster? And besides—

ing now. Falrchlld had made his de-

Only the bawl n« tins man for the
hotel, the station agent wrestling with
a trunk or two—that was all. Fair-
child bsdied about him in surprise,
then approached the agent.
"What's happened?"
"A lot. From what I heat It's a
strike that's going to put Ohadl on
the map again."
"Who made It?"
"Don't know. Some fellow came
running down here an hour or so ago
11 nd said there'd been a tremendous

heat It up there.**
Falrchlld went on. to turn Into a de-
serted street,—a street where the
doors of the stores had been left open
and the owners gone. Everywhere It
kvas the same; It was as If Ohadl sud-
lenly had bee . struck by some catas-

Joined the parade. As It was. he
stood far to one side, a silent, grim
figure, watching the miners and towns-
people passing before him, leaping
about In their happiness, calling to
him the newg that he did not want to
hear:
The Silver Queen had "hit." The
faith of Squint Itodalne, maintained
through the years, had shown his
perspicacity. It was there; he al-
ways had said It was there, and now
the strike had been made at last, lead-
silver ore, running as high as two hun-
dred dollars a ton. It meant every-
thing for Ohadl; if meant that mining
would boom now, that soon the hills
would he clustered with prospectors,
and that the little town would blossom
result of possessing one of tlie
rich sliver mines of rhe state.
Falrchlld felt cheap. He felt do-
feai?d. He felt small and mean n «t
to be able to Join tbe celebration.
Squint and Maurice Rodalne possessed
the Silver Queen; that they, of alf
persons, should be the fortunate ones
was hitter and hard to accept. Why
should they, of every one In Ohadl. be
the lucky men to find a silver bonanza,
that they might flaunt it before Idm.
that they might Increase their stand-
ing In the community, that they might
raise themselves to a pedestal in the
eyes of every one and thereby rally
about them the whole fown In any
difficulty which might arise In the fu-
ture? If hurt Falrchlld. It sickened
him. He saw now that his enemies
were more powerful than ever. And
for a moment he almost wished that
lie bad yielded down there In Denver,
that he had not given the ultimatum to
the greasy Barnham, that be had ac-
eepted the offer made him—and gone
on. out of the fight forever.
Anita ! What would It mean to her?
Already engaged, alteady having give,,
her answer to Maurice Rodalne, this
now would be an added Incentive for
her to follow her promise. It would
mean a possibility of further argument
with her father, already t«ni weak
from Illness to find the mean* of
evading the insidious pleas of the two
ine who had taken his money and
made him virtually their slave. The
future looked black for Robert Fair
child. Slowly he walked past the
happy, shouting crowd and turned up
Kentucky gulch toward the ill-fated
Itlue I'oppy.
The tunnel opening looked more for
lorn than ever when he sighted It. a
bleak, staring, single eye whirl
seemed to brood over its own mlsfor
i ones, a deed, hopeless thing which
never bad brought nnvthlng hut dlsap j
pointinert. A choking came Into Fair-
child's throat. He entered the tunnel
slowly, ploddingly; with lagging mus-
cles be hauled up the bucket which
told of Harry's presence below, then*
slowly lowered himself Into the re-
cesses of the shaft and to tbe drift
leading to the stope, where only a few
days before they had found that
Jaunt, whitened, haunting thing which
had brought with It a new misfortune.
A light gleamed ahead, and the
daily. It Is the great clearing house
of social activity for the whole city.
The facilities of a fine and roomy cluo*
bouse are extended to nonnfembers for
community purposes with complete
generosity. The clubhouse, now worth
not far from $'250,000, will soon be
paid for and will be In effect a munici-
pal building. The Lincoln achieve-
ment in financing and erecting this
building is said to be unique In the
history of cities of Lincoln's class.
The second function of the chamber
Is the massing of civic energy on so-
lution of business, soclul and In-
dustrial problems. In many cities the
chambers confine their energies to this
kind of work. Lincoln spends not far
from $.'M),000 a year In these activities,
including public hospitality, business
promotion, general advertising and the
encouraging of new industries. The
work is done conscientiously by the
officers and committeemen. It is the
Judgment of the leading business men
that the results flowing from this work
are alone worth more than the entire
cost of the organization.
The third activity of the chamber Is
the maintenance of a traffic bureau.
Comparatively few of the members
know that buck In the club house out
of sight and hearing, telephones are
ringing almost constantly. They are
answered by rate experts who have at
their finger tips correct freight sched-
ules on all the commodities handled by
Lincoln firms. These experts save
large sums to the shippers, the aggre*
gute amounting to between $50,000
and $75,000 every year. This is but a
part of the work done by the bureau.
The battles conducted by Secretary
Whltten to prevent rate discrimina-
tions against Lincoln have been the
business salvation of the community —

Woman's Interest Means Much.
When we speak of home, we must
not forget the larger home—the com-
munity. We. as mothers, must be In-
terested nnd take an active part In all
that concerns the welfare of the world
Into which our boys and girls find
their way when the doors of the
mother home swing out. The environ-
ment we create Inside our four walls
will Influence the lives of those chil-
dren In the days of struggle and ef-
fort to find places for themselves In
the world. There In no perfect home.
Neither will there ever be a perfect
community. Hut If the community at-
mosphere more nearly approaches that
of the best homes, our fears and our
dr-ubts would he lessened when our
babies grown tall set forth In search
of adventure. The woman's Interest
nnd Influence will go far toward mak-
ing the community an enlarged and
mafNhified home of which we can and
will be proud, nnd not afraid.
