Of her time Tom, assisting him IN
washing when she had time to spare.
and taking a woman's delight in watch
ing his confusion when she was near.
For she had long ago read his secret,
and, while he had never uttered a word
Of love to her, his eyes told,her far bet
ter than words that he would not al
ways remain silent.
And she?
This is not love story, but we may
spare space to say that many littledaip-
ties found their way to the broadshoul-
dered young farmer which did not APP
pear in the bill Of fare for the others.
The gold hunters had struck q boz
nanza in good truth, for they found
| that the old river must have run over
bed of solid rock which was only COW
cred with few feet of deposit. In some
places the bed rock had been too
smooth to hold the gold, and the labor
| was wasted, but in others they found
it far beyond their widest anticipa-
tons.
Where the surface of the rock was
rough they found little pockets filled
with coarse, free gold, interspersed
with nuggets, some of them as large as
walnut Tom was particularly for
tunate in this regard, but they all kept
their findings together and agreed to
| divide the sum total evenly.
In this manner two weeks passed.
They were not troubled by Bowers,
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1899-06-29

who was apparently satisfied to wash
away at the other side of the ridge.
Whether he was doing we'll or not they
had no means Of telling. He was
brought to their mind, however, by an
accident.
They had gone to their work as usual
one morning, when Clara Avery sud-
denly appeared on her fathers claim
and said:
THAT man Bowers has just been up
on the cliff. I never saw him there be-
fore, and thought I'd tell you"
what was he doing?" asked her IA
Their, Strengthening up.
"He seemed to be watching down on
the plain,' she replied. after min
ute or two he went back to his digging,
and I heard him talking to himself"
"All right" said her father. Keep
your eye on him. guess we sized him
up about right. Well attend to him. -
The girl returned to the cave, but al
though she watched Bowers all day he
appeared to be very intent upon his
work, washing away as long as he could
see that night.
Supper was the only meal they all ate
together, and when it was finished the
| friends held a short consultation, and
made certain arrangements in the cave.
When they were completed the tired
men threw themselves on their beds of
| boughs and were soon asleep, with the
exception of Avery, who, however, was
| stretched on his rude couch in the cave
apparently in the same condition. -

CHAPTER XIV,
A SECRET NO LONGER.

AS, the reader is aware, there was no
pursuit, made after Rider and his CON-
panion. The whole matter had been ar
ranged by Avery, who had seen a
would-be robber deceived in similar
manner in his younger days. He had
been awake through it all, and there
had been no intention. to shoot the thief.
They had purposely aimed wide of the
mark. ~"
When he had disappeared they all in
dulged in a hearty laugh at his discom-
future when he. should discover the
fraud, then retired to rest with feel
ing of relief at the success of their
counterpart. 49,
Freed from the necessity of watching
Bowers, they now redoubled their la
Dor, and for another fortnight they
took only barely sufficient time ii
sleep. They were constantly in dread
lest some prospector should appear,
but day after. day passed and left'them
undisturbed. "
The unusual labor, however, began to
tell on the older men, and one evening
Dick Taylor declared, as he threw him
self YEARLY down on his couch:
I'm about ready to quit Let's reck-
on up how we stand.'' .4,.@.
They had very indefinite idea of
their wealth, as they had made no cal
culation up to that time, devoting every
moment to work. Now they watched
eagerly as he produced his scales and
began to estimate the weight OF the
numerous m bags containing the result of
their arduous toll. s5..
Bag after bag was laid aside in
silence until the last had beenweighed.

CHAPTER XIII.
ROBBING THE CAVE,

HOBB1NG 1t1E CAVE -.
Hank Bowers had been keenly aware
of what was going on about him. He
had worked steadily at his claim, and
would have considered himself lucky
dog had he not seen the men opposite
him carrying their findings to- the cave
each night in a heavy canvas bag, of
which they had large supply
They're diggin' fer me-
This was his secret consolation and
apparently it satisfied him. His plans
babe fair to come out we'll if the sailor
kept his word and returned. This was
the only disturbing thought. It was
the fear that his associate might fail
him that induced him to delve with all
his might in order that he might have
gold of his own honestly if he could
get it NO other way.
On the morning of the twelfth day
he saw the others were all at their work
before he made his way to the top of
the cliff. Although he knew the young
girl would see him, he did not suppose
she would attach any particular i'm
portance to the matter.
The sun was just showing above the
horizon as he glanced sharply toward
the distant bowlder, where mans fig
ure stood out in1plain sight. Even as he
looked it disappeared. s,.-.s., ...
Hes got more sand than thought"
| muttered Bowers as he made his way
back to his claim and worked away
with feverish energy. II must risk it
tonight or never!" 4 49,
He retired to his tent as usual that
night, but not to sleep. He had other
work to do. AS soon as he was satisfied
the rest were asleep he made his way
cautiously to the cleft in the rock which
led to the plain below. On one shoulder
he carried the results of his two weeks
labor in the shape of a weighty bag OF
| gold, while in his hand was a rope lad
der which he had fashioned at his lei
sure. 4Ir.5.s ..,..3 y .Sss
To fasten the last to the top Of the
.obstructing bowlder was an easy task,
aided by the light Of a match, which
could not be seen outside. Down the
ladder he felt his way, and after some
trouble reached the plain, where the
starlight made the rest Of the way cons
paratively easy. b.

clash it on one of the critters, quick"
For a moment he hesitated. Should
he join his partner and make good his
escape?
Apparently cupidity won the day, for
he began to retrace his steps toward the
cave. His first success had made him
more confident, and he was we'll aware
that he had not secured half the bags
he had just touched.
Again he reached the entrance with
out noise and crawled to the spotwhere
the gold was piled against the wall.
This time he could only stuff two OF
three small bags inside his buckskin
shirt and grip one in his teeth.
He reached the open air safely and
was just rising to his feet when Avery
appeared in the mouth of the cave, re-
volver in hand, shouting: .."%.
'Thieves! Thieves! Take that, you
robber!" 1>.ss ~. ~.@.-....
