CHAPTER TX,
CLOUDS.

Broener remained with me several months
before making another trip to San Francisco.
He taught me "panning out" and the use Of
the rocker. Iagonized for days before got
ting the knack Of that instrument. 1t is to
be rocked with the left hand, while water is
poured by the right on tho dirt in the top
sieve, and my right and left arms seemed
continually trying to do each others work,
the right the shaking and the left the pour
ing-at least, they'd make efforts to that
efect-and often was l SO irritNEsr by the
seeming contrariness, both Of my arms and
tho machine, that was tempted to kick it to
pieces.
Broener would laugh, saying: ''Take il
easier. Sit down aud lst your mind rest
There's where the trouble lies. Your mind is
trying to educate your body to the unaccus
toned movement, and it's hard work at first
for both teacher and scholar. Don't gel
angry. Recollect how many times you fell
down when you were trying to walk"
In q few days l mastered the rocker. Be

HE can look Where he has a right to-" was
my reply. But you have no more business
on my ground here than in my house, and
you ought to know it."
He clambered out of the hole, taking all
my peace of mind with him as he went. In
his discovery of that bit Of white rock,
flecked with the yellow metal, I saw no end
Of future trouble. 1t was giving the hound
the true scent, and I felt that this man
would never cease his efforts till he had run
the game to earth.
All this came to ME in a moment. The
brightness of the day had gone Before, I
had been singing in a jolly fashion to myself
and living in bits of air castles, as fancy built
~them-among which my speedy return to
PASSPORT, US a comparative nabob, was not
the smallest or least glittering.
Bad came to worse. That very afternoon
Mr.. Jedediah Pratt located a thirty-three
feet claim adjoining ours and commenced the
building Of his cabin on it. That his prin-
cipal object was to hunt quartz in the neigh
borhood I was certain. That he had, with
out knowing it, placed himself in the best
position for spying our movements IVA also
certain.
Next day came more cause for apprehen-
sion. Pratt was Joined by a partner, a thick
set, black-bearded, coarss.looking man. Here
were two near neighbos, and both enemies.
Wa was fully declared between us. though
no high words passed. It was the silent,
secret war Of intent on one side to find, on
the other to conceal.
OF course, Pratt and his companion would
remark my frequent absence from my claim.
They would he hunting quartz up and down
the mountain, and would be certain to inter-
cept me in my daily trips to and from the
"Banlk." Then I remembered with dismay
that the mountain side was strewn with bits
Of quartz, its milky whiteness bringing 1t out
in strong contrast with the red soil, and that,
in small and large fragments, it was especially
thick near the claim. Now, these before n
considered masses of rock seemed to me as so
many finger posts pointing out to all our
treasure. l passed the whole night in a
fever, and suffered a dozen realities in
Imagination concerning my coming troubles
with Pratt & Co.
l wrote Immediately to Broener, informing
him of the trouble. But in those days COM
m%unication by mail with San Francisco was
slow. A week at least would elapse before
Broener could got my letter and return.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Over nity new delegates

day. This almost completely changed the
aspect OF the assembly and made it look almost

tlOn meets In Columbus, Ohio, December Z, and

gaze. he moved that the assembly proceed to
elect delegate. Mr.. Tomson's bitter opponent,
George Smiling, Immediately objected. He
wanted special notice ut the proposed action
to be given the various organizations, SO that
their delegates might be present, and, If neces-
S;iry, special meeting OF the assembly held.
Tnolnas II. Randall opposed sending It delegate
Al ali, AS he did not think the past history OF
the federation warranted the expense. Presi.
Gent Rowan warmly deiended the federation,
ana cited the elght-hOur movement as a sui
hclenL reason iOr its existence and support.
Both RandaiPs and Sniiling's objections were
Voteu down, and at least u dozen nominations
lor the honor were made. All Withdrew, how
ever, except George Sailing and Edward Null
Vaney, and the assembly settled TO await the
result oi the iong-cOntlnued nght between the
sOclailstic and anti-sociailsuc elements. The
latter Was successful, Mulvaney receiving rs
votes To 52 Tor Shilling. The announcement OF
the result was received with the heartiest ap-
