Tl1e Blue BucRet. Tt \\·as Cla ire Belmont dropping clown the old B lu e Bucket pack trail.

Draggino· heavily on a la riat lead swun g a stubborn black mule. A eli ·lodged quartz bould er cras hed dow n the timbered canyon. lt tore awav th e cente r of th e fall n mon arcJ{ on which Jack Dalton sat mu smg. h1rtb er down it cru shed into heat and fin e du st at the base of a w in d-el i. mantled pme.

It wa s strange that J ack was not a wakened to Cla ire's pre ence befo re. ::\ot so very strange. either. ''\Vhiu a mon' s in luv, " once arg ued i'd ike O'Day in the bunk house, " he would niver wake up if he was layin o· on a cyar-load of touched-o Ct cl ynamoi te."

Dalton admired Claire. ]•or her he would ha ve been willing to fo rego hi s ea rthl y all--mountain s and min es , life a nd fu ture joys . Y et, her eastern refinement and hi gher intell ectuai training made him truly uncomfortabl e. H is western lack had to an extent the same effect on her.

"I th ought the rock wus a n ayala nche, " greeted the we terner as the girl smiled kind recognition.

Hi dream-that vi sion of lilybeauty, that for of' thereal g racesur rend ered to th e livi ng presence.

"Jack, " she said, dropping the t w line of her cha rge, " I have been 'experting' the Blue Bucket min(' today. Yes," she continued from

her stump thron e. "1 \\·as on every level. \ Vent down on th e pump and at noon shared a Co rnishman's d in ner. J picked up some 'rock ' on the third leve l. " H ere Claire produced a piece of " ro c" quartz. Its soft tran slucent glow refract ed a delicate ye ll ow. It was countersu nk with stringers of gold. ''It is strange," she murmured slow ly, "the ineq uality of man."

And ma rvel ing at th e treas ure which the Blue Bucket held in store, she \\'hi spered , ''\Vhat bl e sings ome enj oy!''

IIer cowbo_v hat partly concealed a n expression of dee p meditation.

She rem ained los! in thonght till Tack felt moved to break the si lence. ·l~C'e lin g that perhaps her pride had been wound ed , he asked solemnly if the mule had bucked her off.

"No, no," she rcpli d ca lml y. " It was years .and years ago, and I was lead ing a paci< mtde over a lonely mountain trail- prospect ing fo r a mine--thi s one. T was fa ncying its discovery ; wond ering how it came to sw in g on th e credit balances of tirne and f rtun e. Jt - name-B lu€ Bucket! Blu e Gucket !" she repeated mechanicall y. " The mere mention of th a t nam e has caused me to thrill with sudd en apprehension." " It's a long, long story," broke in the western man , "a h isto ry as full o' hard luck a nd rough trai ls cz ever you hea rd tel!."

It was not the peculiar word o rder nor the story o far told that wa sounding the chord s of Claire's sympathy and admiration. No, far from it. The magn et lay in hi s open-hearted expression and hi s deep app reciation for th e pioneer prospector that had faced dauntlessly the peril s of the wild fronti er.

J ack Dalton now followed th e windin g trail of Sanford and Bell throug h the mountain passes and river canyons of th e rougher W e t .

H c landed them in Ald er Gulch wh ere placer gold was rife-but cast in th e " riffles" of other men.

The " pardn·crs' ' prospected the surrounding co untry for several summers long . Their minds reverted frequ entl y to their Saw T ooth '"find " of a dozen years gon e by .

They pla nned to r eturn to " di scove ry... T hey prospected through th e summ er months and part f the winters, too . It was exceeding ly strange. Th ey had lost th eir bearing ,; th e Blue B ucket discovery was always· in another canyon. E ach summ er's windin g from th e cylinder of time brought back the declining but determin ed men. Bob Bell went out f rom camp one cold morn ing late in autumn. But he never return ed. A heavy snow fall that night drove Sanford to a winte ring

le s cvere. H e was alone now but the " high water" season found him, aga in , Saw T ooth bound- to find hi s " pardn er"-and to locate the long lost min e. The old prospector camped one ni g ht near the headwaters of th e M iddl e F ork. H e was attracted by a peculiar mound ac ross the"crick" -it was th e g ravel around an old pro pect hole. He hung over th e edge of that deep caving shaft and saw-the lifeless head of hi s old comrad . H e had fal len, but he still stood firm . The icc had gathered around hi s neck. \i'l hen li fe ebbed away it formed his last support. As B ill looked the wall s caved once more. Bob Bell was under g round.

Sa nford was g rowing old and O'rey. T he brave old mountaineer had nothing to live fo r now-only that mine. His fa culties were clouding fast. Could he distinguish that monum ent they had left so many yea rs ago? ' till th e old man was resolute. H e could never give up.

It is a st range ph enomenon-the mag neti sm of gold! H ow luring! '~

D\· acc ident the Go ld Crow n l\l ini ng "co. needed some letter heads printed. and so it happened that upt .

B li ss . not knowing of th e presence of a ny person until now, turned around calmly on hi s stoo l a nd inquired of Kingsley as to wh a t could be done for hi m. This was too muc h for th e mining-man. and he immediately made a vicio us pass at the printer. It was a signal for fight, a nd oon the two combatants were clutching each oth er on the floor. vVhen they rega ined their feet, both were breathless and th e fight stopped.

The mining· man, r ega ining hi s composure first, made friendly over ture to the orinter, and finall y offered a goodly sum if a certain column of stuff was killed. The college man walking- to the fro nt-door ooened it, and calm!v aid : "There's the clqo r. Now g-it !"

As King ley walked up the ·trect to hi s offi ce. th e en· of "fight" and " kill him" r ached hi s ears.

This was when Kingsley,the sup·erintendent, "tied into., the game . :and on seeing hi s foreman cold , and thi coldn ess due to a .B ugle man , his scheming bra in began to wo rk.

Soon he had determined on an elabora te plan.

Th e fi ght was foug ht to the end \\·ilh ·determination by both sides, and not until the last event was over did our peopl e kno w for certain th at they were up] ortin g a victori ous team. vVe won, as we had expected , a nd we won bv about as wide a ma rg in as we ex[)ected. The meet was cl ean throug-hout and a remarkably pleasant feature was th e rapi dity with which th e events vv ere pull ed off .

Th e B. Y. made a very creclitahlc showing; we should have made a better one hut w e did not and we don't intend to come forward with explanations.

T h track and field meet at :F'rovo, l\lay 6, was a closer and prettier fight than either side had looked for. P rovo was conceded the victory beforehand, but the close run g iv en them by our boys was a general surpri se. T he final score of 48-53 tells its own sto ry, a story of a close, clea n fig-ht in which it was no dishonor to be defeated .

Adams, of Provo, again showed him elf as th e stronge t field ma n in th e state. l hillips chased him up to s-7 on the hi gh jump and Adams sent hi s admirer wild by going him 2 inches better. He had no oppo ition in the Pole vault a nd sco red in the broad jump. ;'lie li ster demonstrated the fact that he is one of the swifte t sprinters in the state, ty ino· Frew in the hundred, wmn ing the 220 and takin g second in the 440.

F rew came up to expectations. doing the hundred in IO 1-5 and having no opposition in the 440.

C. athletes we re nearly all of them young- and inexpe ri enced men, unu d to t he tricks o f the trade and the disconcerting- effect of large crowds. The dope-s heets from all quarte rs conceded u f rom 1 r to 13 points, and we didn 't know but th ey were about ri g ht. O n th e whole, the re is rea l ca use for congratulation. \V e have no complaints to offer. \Vc lo t to uperior abi lity and experience. and what vve won wa earned fa irl y and sq uarely. The core in points does not begin to exp ress the close and exciting quality of th e finishes. for even when the A. C. husk y ~as a n "also ran," he made t he winn er travel for his mo n e~· . In eve ry event whe re there were preliminaries, an A. C. man qualifi ed for the final s and made a plend icl show ing th ere. In th e high hurdles . the roo-yard clash, th e 220, and the half-m ile, there was an Arro·ie at the tape almost side by side with the winner; and F rew, ~ tuart a nd H ansen measu re up as promising a track tri o as th ere i in the state.

Th e half-m il e was one of the surprises and cam e dange rou ·ly near bri ng in g defeat upo n th e debonair Jimmy in th e last race of hi college ca reer. It was the conventional half-mil e up to the point where Jimmy has always sprinted away from the rabbie, and a mbled eas ily p~ s t a sm ili•1g mass of millin ery to the finish lin e.

The long anticipated valentin e party, postponed on account of th e frequ nt smallpox scares, was held at the College 1ay I , and certainly exceeded a11 expectations.

The reading room wa tastefully decorated with streamers of small red hearts , while here and there about the room large hearts pierced with arrow s, bowed the mi schief done by Dan Cupid during the past year. U pon enterin g the room, each person received a piece of a heart with a partial quotation upon it, and was told that hi or her fate was held by th e compl etion of the qu otation.

In the' breakin g, ome of the fragments had been scattered near and far, but th e . hape of .final reward . aided by the spring weath r, urged each one on, so that for two hours heart matching was the program.

Later in th e evening, after partaking of th e light refreshments se rved by the ladi es of the L eague, th e party retired to th e gym. , where the ach es and breaks were mencted

by Dr. Dan ce, a. isted by the Colleg-e orch estra. 路 It is no doubt needl ess to av that this reception, like everything路 else attempted by the ladie of th e ~ ch oo l. was a genuin e success . t the last meetin g o f the \Voman' L eagu e, th e offi cers were elected to plan and execute next
