What a strange, wicked sentiment is
that of avarice! The thirst for wealth
will turn brother against brother, father
against son-separate man and wife.
The story told by the dying hunter
had been received by Harkins and Tay-
lor without question. He had said there
was gold enough for both. but does one
ever get too much wealth? If there were
millions to divide neither wanted to di-
vide it. They lad been friendly before
the hunter called them in to give his dy
ing statement. They had left the dead
body hating each other. To be just
however, it should be said that Harkins
had less avarice and bitterness thar
| Taylor lie was better educated -he
had the refining influences of his daugh-
ter Bessie had less hope of being able
TO come at the great store of wealth
Indeed, lie sometimes argued that it
would be best to give information to the
whole train and let all share alike and
be satisfied. Had Taylor met him half
way in his advances he would have
cholled down the spirit Of selfshness
and forced himself to feel that the half
/ would content HIM.
But Taylor, who was n single man and
a rough specimen of the American from
tiersman, openly betrayed his distrust
and i'll will He looked upon the Eng
lishman as robber. He would never
consent to divide the gold with him. He
might have to share it with others, but
! never with him.

blow he struck, but he dashed here and
there with the strength of a giant and
the frenzy of mailman.
Crash! Crashl Crash!
The Indians were taken by surprise by

there was such terrible change in his
looks that they shrank away appalled,.
His whine of supplication had changed
to shrill yells of defiance: his eyes no
longer betrayed terror stricken soul.
Swish! Sweep! Crash!
He buried the sharp tomahawll to the
eye at every blow. He followed them
up as they fell away before him. AS
they cried out in alarm he shouted in de-
fance.
1t was q momentary panic. They
could have shot him down, but the
chiefs kept shouting orders not to do it.
The frenzied and desperate man had
killed two and wounded three when he
was driven to bay and found himself
surrounded. He stood painting for mo-
ment with his exertions, while the blood
drpped from the sharp tomahawk upon
the green grass.
To the right-to the left-in front-in
rear-the circle was closing in upon him.
There was no escape.
With lightninglille movements the
man swung the tomahawk about him,
cutting and gashing himself in dozen
places, and Us n rush was made he tot
tered and fell like some great tree which
| had lived out its century and was weary
of further life. Blood was squirting
from several veins and arteries, and ere
! he could be dragged to the stake and
bound life had fled. When this fact be-
came known there was a general howl
of rage and disappointment, and dozen
savages fell upon the poor body with
the fury of fiends They scalped it.
They severed the head and kicked i,
about for a football. They cut of
hands and feet and flung them about
They hacked and cut and slashed and
gave themselves up to their devilist

INSTANTLY Moth released this lock and
seized a half-Neson and big hold, and
the round was ended. Moth won the
fall in eleven minutes.
One would have supposed that these
gladators would have become blOweG
and tired arter this rapid work, but not
so. They fought with just as fresh
yigor as when they began. The round
was practically repetition of the sec
ond, and it was won precisely tile same
way at the expiration Of ten minutes.
Then the crowd rushed pellmell III a
perfect crush to Moths corner to con-
graduate him. There had been CON
siderable money bet. and those who
wen lost no time to thank their victor.
The preliminary events were very sat
iSfaet0ry in one instance and just as uE-
satisfactory in the other. Jimmy Hor-
bert and Matt German opened the pro
gramme. They are lightweightS. and
wrestled for the medal hung up by the
association. According to the agree
mentS, an innovation was introduced.
They wrestled six minutes and rested
six minutes. AT the cOnclusionssef the
first six minutes. honorS were about
even. Neither had come very near win
ming fail but German won in one
minute with an arm lock, and he won.
the second fall and match In tliree milt-
utes with the famous strange hold.
The second event was a wretched
fasce. 1T was between Chamberlain
and Cakes, two young aspir;lits TO local
fame 1t was announced that itewas to
be for medal and the championship of
the Northwest. but it was champion

were both leary of each other, and
Cakes, who was apparently the

ling Chamberlain eontented himself
with sparrng te keep Oaks off, and
whenever lock was secured pushing
contest ensued. Ths sort of thing con-
tinued until the audience Kissed in alb
ject disgust, and the referee Slapped
the farce and declared it no match. y
When Moth went upon. the Stagesbe
announced that he had watched the
match between Norbert and German
with pleasure and his Judgment told
him thattie best man had not won.
He would back Norbert against Cor
