“Ruth of the Range”
By Paul Forrest
Adapted from the Patheserial
Copyright, 1923, by Pathe Exchange, Inc.
Black Harper’s command not to
fire the charge came too late. He
saw Ruth Remington buried under
the avalanche of stone and dirt.
Quickly he gathered his men and
they’ dug furiously. Bruce Burton,
seeing the whole horrible catas
trophe from the air, quickly landed
Judith’s airplane and helped at the
digging.
Fortunately for Ruth, she had
been under an overhanging shelf of
solid rock when tjie explosion
came and the dirt closed in around
her, making exit impossible, but
breathing possible until rescue
came. Black Harper staid long
enough to see that Ruth was safe
and then he and his men beat a
hasty retreat, leaving Ruth alone
with Bruce.
Ruth was thoroughly disheart
ened and discouraged. With the
lava pool gone Fuelite could never
be manufactured to give’relief to
the poor. All their efforts had been
in vain. Ruth leaned her pretty
head against Bruce’s shoulder.
“That’s the finish, Bruce!” she
said. They’re tod powerful a com
bination for us! Poor daddy! How
can I tell him?”
In the midst of comforting her
Bruce’s glance took in a peculiar
condition of th? big lumps of clay
thrown up by the explosion. Un
noticed by Ruth, he examined it
and a hopeful light leapt into his
eyes. He kept his thoughts from
”■ , ■‘“d when t.ie Remington
cowboys rode up he sent Ruth
home in their care, saying he would
come later.
Feverishly Bruce set to work
testing the lava rock that the ex
plosion had thrown up. He took
only Captain X into his confidence.
It is better for our purpose than
the liquid,” Bruce exulted. ‘‘ln
three months we’ll be ready to
make Fuelite in vast quantities.”
Captain X agreed to finance the
plant if it were kept a secret from.
Ruth, both men being agreed that
she had already undergone suffi
cient dangers and the only way to:
protect her would be to keep
from her until they were actually
shipping Fuelite.
During the weeks that followed
Ruth ( was somewhat puzzled by
Bruce's strange behaviour. She
reldom saw him and when she did
he had an air about him of sup
pressed excitement that neitherl
questions, teasing nor pouting
could get him to explain.
However, one day all thought of
Bruce’s mystery came to an abrupt!
end. A telegram brought ominous
news of her father, who had been
in San Francisco for several weeks
attending to various business matJ
ters. The telegram read:
“Your father seriously ill at
Southern Hospital. He also wishes
to see Bruce Burton.
“Dr. Hadley." I
Ruth instantly dispatched one ofl
her cowboys for Bruce, but he was’
out of town and would be gone saw
definitely, so Ruth made the trip!
•alone.’* With every passing minute'
her anxiety deepened, and when
she reached Southern Hospital, and
the doctor, told her that her father’s <
end was near and that she should
say nothing that would • depress’
him, it was all she could do to con
trol her emotions.
At sight of the thin pale face of
her father Ruth’s heart sank. Bit- |
tgrness welled up within her. against

the enemies who had foiled - KeF
father's dearest ambition—the cuU
initiation of his life of good for
others.' Torn with conflicting emo-j
tions, she found it difficult to an
swer his questions.
“I'm worried, dear,” he said.
"Tell me, is everything all right
Ruth turned her head aside —sh«
could not bear to disappoint hun<
“Why—everything is progressing.
Don't worry, daddy!”
He seemed satisfied and sank
back on his pillow, closed his eyes
and feebly held her hand. It was
some time later that he roused
himself and Ruth had to strain to
hear his whisper.
“Carry on, Ruth—you and Bruce
must carry on ”
While Ruth was occupied with
her sad duty, the Olympus Coal
Company was planning a new at
tack this time aimed at Bruce
Burton, who, because he was manu
facturing Fuelite, had now become
dangerous to them. Their hired de
tectives uneajthed something in
Burton's past* An old prospector
who lived near Painted Post told
them of an incident of five years
ago.
In the hills was a shack in which
lived an old hermit whom no one
seemed to knpw anything about.
One night when the old prospector
was riding near the shack he heard
three shots. He drew up in some
tall bushes near the hut and watched
three men come out. They wore
masks that completely hid their
faces, but one of them dropped hia
and the old fellow recognized Bruce
Burton. The hermit’s shack was
set on fire and the hermit, never
having been seen after that, was
presumably shot and burned to
death.
With this information the coal
company’s emissaries hastened to
Painted Post. In compliance with
a telegram they were ipet at the
train by the sheriff with a warrant
for Bruce’s arrest.
The day of their arrival was
Ruth’s first day back from San
Francisco and her first knowledge
of Bruce’s secret activities. She
was overjoyed when she saw the
plant in operation. With great
pride Bruce showed her how his
new rock crusher operated.
“That old hammer will crush
three hundred tons of coalava a
day,” Bruce told her as she watch
ed the large fava rocks slide down
the chute to the hopper, where
mammoth hammers crushed them
to dust.
The realization that her father's
wish had been fulfilled consumed
Ruth with joy. She and Bruce
would carry on to fruition his phil
anthropic plan to benefit the poor
with a cheap fuel. She told Bruce
of her father's last words, but her
story was interrupted by the ar
rival of Black Harper, Judith, the
sheriff and a posse.
The sheriff knew and liked Bruce
Burton and his duty was an un
pleasant one that he would have
gladly shirked.
“I’m sorry, Bruce,” he said.
“You've got to come with me—the
warrant says you killed that old
hermit five years ago.”
Bruce was startled. Well did he
remember that .momentous night
and, while he was innocent, he was
bound by a promise and could not
clear himself.

it were true Us. Joaked deep into
