ter ing prom
ise, and liberal prosperity for miners,
gamblers and saloons; but luck had
suddenly and capriciously deserted the
camp. for there was not another shin
ing atom of 1.-The precious to be found
in the gulch. This fact was declared
by the old miners, who were packing
up TO go over the mountain ins to Clear
Creek canyon, where a new camp was
being started under favorable prom
ises.
Saloon keepers and faro-banks had
''folded their tents like Arabs" and
gone where there was fresh gold to
rake in, and where thore were new vic
tins to conquer.
The miners had all followed except
Patrick .McBirney and his wife and
three others-Morgan, Ben Thomas
and Jack Leslie. These persons
fingered at the deserted camp for the
simple reason that they preferred the
solitude of Windy gulch to the rough,
wrangling crowd that had ju.t left.
Besides, Morgan lay woundef "A the
little shanty of McBirney. up among
the cedars; he was too badly injured
that they were to STAY behind in sole,
Independent possession of Windy camp,
and each take his turn at playing the
part of Good Sam aritan toward the
sick miner.
Alex Morgan was a man of middle
age. and his friends rightly conjectured
that he had seen better days than a
checkered career at the different min
ing camps had afforded.
When Morgan had been sober, he
had displayed evidences of former cul-
ture and of having lived in the best
society But he had grown dissipated
at the mining camps, and gambled
recklessly. 1t was while gambling
with Poker Sam, in one of the saloon
shanties, that a dispute had arisen,
which soon waxed furious, and in a
rage, the sport had shot Morgan. in
ficting what mis- friends realized would
prove fatal wound lie now lay at
Pat McBirneys, with very few more
days to live Mrs. Mckinney, with all
the goodness of heart and impulsive-
ness Characteristic Of the real Irish
woman. nurscd him as tenderly as il he
had been a dear brother.
Ben Thomas was a bankrupt ranch
man turned miner. His "pard," Jack
Leslie, was young school-teacher
from the east, in reduced circum-
stances. Both were handsome, good
hearted young fellows, and as Morgan
had shared their shanty at Windy camp,
he was considered "a pard'' and neither
would forsake hum for the selfish pur
pose of trying his fortune at the new
camp over in the canyon. They willing
ly shared the duties of watching over
the wounded man, doing all in their
power TO alleviate his suffering
One day, Ben and Jack were sitting
on a bowlder down the gulch. II was
the second day after the camp had been
deserted and turned over TO the unre-
gtricted occupancy Of their little party.
"Morg IS pretty low, pard, 4" remarked
Ben, his eyes on the lofty cliffs far
above the rugged gulch.
"He is that" returned Jack. I'm
thinking that poor Morg is about tn
cross the divide, whence no miner ever
comes back.

Ben, vengcfully.

that was Jack. Ben saw this clear
", and like the true friend that he was,
though he would have laid his life down
for the girl, so great was his love, he
never attempted to lay a straw in
Jacks way.
So, Ben had no need to establish his
contemplated orphan asylum in the
gulch; nor did Grace Morgan ever have
a chance to teach over in the valley, or
wash for the miners, for at Christmas
time she married big, handsome Jack
Leslie, who had realized enough from
his share in the Grace Nine to yield him
comfortable income for the rest of his
life. Ben derives 4 grave happiness
