The hobo had vanished. On the

upon which was scrawled in an al

"Jist tell EN- that you saw me, but

In the gray morning they took their
way over the hills. one carrying the
packs and the other the girl. Fifty
miles away on the banks of Brawling
Creek. they made a camp, and two
hours later were prospecting for gold.
They found sufficient to encourage
them to persevere, but not in quaint.

the men left the girl asleep and
moved further down the creek. She
awoke and went searching for them
up stream. She had walked for
quarter of a mile calling as she went,
when. trying to Chamber UP bank,
she caught at and uprooted bush.
With the, dirt and stones a nugget of
gold rolled down into the stream and
lay there like a spot of sunshine. An
hour later Scott threw down his pick
and said:
Jim, it's the richest spot on the
face of the globe! There'u be rush
here, of course, but Wen have our
claims entered first. I'll start for
Woona-Walla within an hour"
In thirty minutes he was on his
way over the hills. and in three days
he was back again. 1t would have
been no use to try to hide the new
find. He had to state its location in
order to file his claims. and the very
official who made sood his papers was
at his heels as he made his way back
to camp.
I've got it," he said to his partner,
after picking up the girl and kissing
her. Here it is-the Ethel Claim

After supper that night the child
climbed upon SCOTS knee and he
stroked her hair until she fell asleep.
For long time after he had gently
laid her down there was silence be-
tween the two men He was the first
to break it by saying:
Jim, the girl is TO 90 back to Sgd
