the stone in his hand.
'Do you take care of it." said I, "for I
ind enough to do to take care of myself"
"Wal, reckon it won't be long afore we
are on the best side of this hole" he re-
piled, putting the stone in his pocket.
He was certainly i'll at ease and less con-
fident than usual, for he took his torch and
examined the fastenings of the ropes, and
then from an adjacent cavity he brought
out another coil of cord, in which cross
pieces of stout hickory were knotted at in
tervals of a foot. He unfastened it and
laid It loose upon the rock, with the Topped
end free.
1.-The ropes has been years exposed to the
damp, and they're bound to go one day.
Eff they should happen to go this day, this
here knotted rope may come in partic'lar
handy. You know how TO use it, my gel.

With the torch in his hand he began
the return along the rope.
He had got to the middle when he stop
ped.
"What's thats" he asked, sharply, hold
ing the upper rope with one hand, while he
raised the torch with the other, and peered
out into the darkness.

proach, as he continued his course.
Without accident, or other incident, he
reached the ledge, and with a grunt of
content seated himself on a bowlder, let
ting the torch drop by his side. There was
a pool of water there; with hiss the light
went out.
The next instant there was a fash in the
darkness beyond, followed by the sharp
crack Of rifle shot.
We could see nothing, but from the ledge
opposite came groan, and Brace called
family:
"rm hit, pardner; look out for yourself"
The shot had been fired after the light
was extinguished, leaving him in OBSCURE
ty. The faculty that had enabled the as
sassin to descend that terrible ledge in the
dark had enabled him to mark down poor
Brace, when he was no longer visible to
our eyes.
This reflection struck me as, torch in

cross to my fallen partner.
