Oddly eDoogb, Lgmley had insi
finished . winning game with
Monte Bill when Lunleyis PsrdDer
came hurTisdly in As he slipped
quietly back 70 his post, Lunnley
eat eyeiog the Aplls7-s2.50O. BE
put cut bis hand 20 rake il up,
paused, drew It back, piled up the
! cards and began 70 shuttle for an
c.her stake; not thai be lad for
gotten the oath or the woman and
child be loved, but . long way
ahead II anything else was the
thought that luck had turned
that be had only TO follow it up
|. and win back al the past Lum-
Iey's Pardner stopped 70 his ear:
you'd better throw up the
game, the little mother and your
boy are waiting here outside"
,Lunley started-half rose to his
feet, looked up into his pardner's
face, then at the cards, then at the
door, then wistfully, upon the cards
and the gold As with heavy
sigh be sunk into his seat again,
LumIey's PardDer, dasbiDg the
cards from his hand, rsked up the
stakes and forced the money into
Lumley's pocket
@HOw long win You keep your
wife and child waiting alone, at
night, In q strange city, before the
the door Of . gambling house ?"
The thrust struck home. Like
. man awakening from a dream,
L1nley sprung up, crushed on bis
hat, and few to the door.
Once in the little woman's arms
be was safe Lumley's Pardner
knew him well enough to be sure
iof that He never followed him,
but slipped out Of the side-door,
and the next day saw him back in
camp, a trife pale and sterner than
was his won't, but the clear gray
eyes danntless, honest and brave.
And i reckon, to this day, Lum-
ley never knows how much be
owes his old mate, or that his Lulie
had-one true lover whom he once
knew and appropriated to himself
in the person Of Lumley's Partner
