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 FOR.QUICK SERVICE AND HEAVY HAULING PHONE 121 WOOTEN TRANSFER CO Office in Americus Steam Laundry SOUTH JACKSON STREET HAVELUNCH With Us Sandwiches, Hot Chocolate, Tomato Bouillion, Hot Cof fee, all hours during the day, -4 ■ aeaafe.'

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. In answer to Ruth’s question if it were true Us.
