CHAPTER x.-CoNrrNurp.

The rest OF the party now retired,
Avery and his daughter occupying one
tent and the three younger men the
other, while Dick Taylor loosened his
revolver in his belt, made sure that
each cartridge was in place, and then
took up his post in the dark shadow of
a huge rock where no ray Of light could
betray his presence TO watcher.
Soon not a sound was TO be heard but
the low murmur OF his companions
voices as they discussed the situation,
then these died out, and a chorus of
snores testified TO the soundness of
their slumber.
Hour afer hour passed until ii was
fully midnight. Then the miner entered
the tent where his partner was slecHing
and laid his hand lightly on his Shout

In an instant the sleeper was wide
awake, and a moment later the two
were outside.

Five minutes later he was asleep, and
Tarbox was standing sentry over the
.ilent camp.
II was nearly daybreak when he re-
plenished The fire, for the air grew very
chilly. Soon gray streak appeared in
the southeast, and as Tom came out OF
his tent the sun was just rising over
the rolling land over which they had
travelled the day before.
The rest Of the party were soon
awake, and Taylor said at once:

but we must get out of sight before
breakfast. Joe, turn the horses loose
and start them Off. The rest Of us will

From ffleir folded mates they wander Tar.
Their ways seem harsh and wild;
They follow the beck OF a baleful star.
Their paths are dream-begulled-
Yet hapiy they sought but wider range.
Some loftier mountain slope.
And little rocked OF the country strange
Beyond the gates or hope.
And haply a bell with a Turing call
Summoned their feet TO tread
Midst the cruel rocks where the deep pit-
fall
And the lurking snare are spread.
Maybe. in spite OF their tameless days
or outcast liberty.
They're sick at heart for the homely ways
Where their gathered brothers be.
And oft al night. when the plains fall dark
And the hills loom large and dim.
For the shepherds voice they mutely bark.
And their souls so out 10 him.

And maybe they hear, and wonder why,
And marvel, out In the cold.
