The facts and equity of the case

mystery was reached when two of

for their absurd verdict, declared
that "they didn't know nothin' about

The Pet of Peach Gulch.
lCONCLUDED.I
PART III.

1t was seldom that Dave left camp
for an hour, solely on account OF
the pet, but one afternoon, when
Paul was fast asleep, and likely to
remain so for two or three hours.
the miner took a stroll up the gulch,
saying to the men that he would be
back in little while, and that no
one must disturb the sleeping child.
The hours passed, and Dave did
not return. The pet woke up and
cried for him, and the men wonder
ed at his continued absence; and
finally the camp was alarmed.
81 want Dave-I want Dave y
Paul kept crying, and the men could
soothe him only for a moment at a
time. They pounded on kettles
with clubs, let him smash their bot
ties and overhaul their pockets, but
he would soon recollect that Dave
was absent, and Cry for him.
When darkness came without
bringing the miner, the men made
up a searching party. They found
him about three miles. up the gulch,
after he had made up his mind to
die alone. He was terribly used up.
He had come upon grizzly, and
though making brave fight, he had
been overpowered, and so wounded
that he could not rise. The left
arm was broken, the right badly
lacerated, and the claws of the in.
furiated bear had sunk into his back
and legs.
The men heard his faint call, but
they would not have known him eX-
cept for his clothing and voice. A
blow from the terrible paw had
broken his nose, and otherwise dis
figured his face, and they could see
at a glance that he would have a
hideous look if he got well.
"Ye didn't bring the pet along,
did ye 2" was his first inquiry.
The men replied in the negative,
and he continued:
III wish ye had. l don't believe
III last to be carried back to camp,
and | can't die without feelin' the
boys arms around my neck ~
They washed of the blood, made
a rude litter, and at midnight they
had him back to camp, though he
was in dead faint, and there was
no hope that he would live to see
the sun come up.
The pet was awake, and watch
ing for him. They had tried to
soothe the boy to sleep by telling
him stories, and carrying him
around, but he could not rest until
Dawes return. p-.... ..
The unconcious mangled body
was carried to the shanty and ten
derly laid down. They didn't mean
to let the pet know of the calamity
for time, but he made his escape
from the men, and crept in and look
ed upon the victim. ...
"That aint Davew he screamed,
starting back in horror at sight of
the bloody face.
Strangely enough, the sound of
his voice overpowered pain and
everything else, and Dave recover.
ed consciousness, and opened his
eyes. .....-
"Hcv you got home-didn't l hear

They brought the boy forward,
and as Dave saw him, he made a
move to raise his broken arm, and
whispered:

"Why-you-why-" said Uncle
Sile, in alarm.
"Be good to pet" interrupted
Dave, waving his hand sam when
he gifts older tell him all about me.
Here's my hand, Uncle Sile, an re-
member l don't bear ye any ill-will
whatsumever."
He pulled his hand away from
the old man, thrust it into his bo-
som, and next moment he was dead
on the floor, and the cabin was full
of smoke from his discharged revol-
yer.
Uncle Sile leaped up and raised
the dying mans head, at the same
time calling for aid but he died be-
fore any one came in-died without
another word.
1t was a sad crowd which stood
in and around the cabin to listen to
the old mans explanations.
"He war too tender hearted"
whispered one.
"He didn't care to live when the
pet went back on him. whispered
"Pardners, I'd sooner had my
right arm cut off than to see this 2,
sobbed Uncle Sile.
The pet crept up and looked at
the bloody face, and then he skulk
ed away and hid behind the bed, as
if fearing that they would hold him
guilty of murder.
1t was great shock to the gulch.
Some of the men cried like chill
dren, and they were as tender as
women when they dressed the corpse
for the grave and carried it down
to the shanty. There was oman
of God in those wild regions, but
when they stood around the open
grave at sunset, each man with
bowed head, Uncle Sile said:
Gle wasn't a Christian man, but
his heart was right an good, an |
believe the Lord will forgive him."
And thus they buried the body.
Stones were heaped up that the
place might ever be known, and on
a plain board the knife of miner
