laway, and again we headed them OF
by going down the steep side Of y
ravine. Here the horses had little foot
hold. The loose soil slid from under
their feet so rapidly that they were
compelled to abandon locomotion Of
their own. With legs spread out and
the riders leaning well toward the
hillside to assist In maintaining IN up
right position they reached the bottom
as part Of . small avalanche. By
maneuvers Of this character we gained
ground on the much-fatigued game,
and. though our horses were blown,
we at last overhauled the pair. A mo-
ment later first one and then another
native swung the fatal bolaa. The an
imals fell with their legs bound fast,
and the long. exhausting chase ended.

If he could compass it. Presently
Montgomery paused. and made hasty
calculation in his bank book; he hest.
tated a moment after this, and then
said quietly to Clifford:
II have no more money. would
like to have another chance, II you will
let me- My private collection Of paint
ings is worth five thousand dollars
..He looked at Clifford inquiringly,
not putting his question into words.
All right said the other briefly. and
the game went on.
Il began to get nervous. not know

severe enough.

" enough to see Montgomery throw
down his cards and settle back in his
chair with a look of abject despair.
Clifford was bending toward him, his
eyes gloating upon his victim. l had
not thought the man carried 50 much
malice in his heart, and for moment
l liked him the less for it. But only
for moment Montgomery suddenly
started.
81 have one thing more, he said,
the promise of Rachel Morris to be
my wife. If I lose now, l leave you
a clear field
Clifford rose quietly from the table.
"'You hear this, gentlemen? he
said. This cur has dragged the name
Of lady into game of cards This
hound he paused. thought to give
the other chance to resent his words,

this hound he repeated slowly, has
managed to get Dan Morris in his
debt. He has agreed to cancel the OBJ
legations il his daughter would marry
him. This, the brave girl. in . mo-
ment of despair. consented to do. This
cur he paused again, holds her to
this promise. And now he offers it as
a stake upon a game of cards.
Clifford seemed to grow in stature
rs he spoke. and the other to shrink to
the proportions of . pygmy. When he
had finished he took the money he had
won, and the checks, and twisted them
together and threw them into Mont
gomery's face. Then he went to the
door and opened it

out like whipped dog.
"You want the end of the story?
Well, it is brief. The clubs action was
prompt, and Montgomery is no longer
. member.
'And Rachel Morris, did you say?
Oh. yes. Here are wedding cards. She
is to be married to Clifford this even
ing. I must 60 and dress. am to be

manning an old beau"

wards, for can see that he has many.

have guessed, that the life Of the old
fellow has known some sorrow, 1t is
certain that it now knows much hap

more closely before we part, l think
perhaps he is not SO old as he has
sometimes seemed to me.
