thickly-wooded terrace with a blank
wall of 'outcrop" on one side nearly
as high as the pines which pressed
close against it, He had never seen it
before; it was two or three miles from
the high road and seemed to be a vir-
gin wilderness. But on close examina-
ton he could see, with the eye of a
boy bred in a mining district, that the
wall of outcrop had not escaped the
attention of the mining prospector
There were marks of his pick in some
attractive quartz seams of the wall
and further on a more ambitious at
tempt evidently by party of miners,
10 begin tunnel, shown in an aban-
doned excavation and the heap of de-
bris before it. 1t had evidently been
abandoned for some time, as ferns al
ready forced their green fronds through
the stones and gravel, and the yerba
buena vine was beginning to mat the
surface of the heap. But the boys fan
cy was quickly taken by the traces of
a singular accident, and one which had
perhaps arrested the progress of the
excavators. The roots of a large pine
tree growing close to the wall had been
evidently loosened by the excavators
and the tree had fallen, with one of
its largest roots still in the opening the
miners had made and apparently
blocking the entrance. The large
tree lay. as it fell-midway across
another but much smaller outcrop of
rock which stood sharply about fifteen
feet above the level of the terrace
with its gaunt, dead limbs in the air at
a low angle. To Johnny's boylsn fancy
ii seemed so easily balanced on the
rock that but for its imprisoned root it
would have made a capital seesaW.
This he felt must be looked to hereaf-
ter. But here rs attention was n
rested by something more alarming
His quick ear. attLEed like an animals
TO all woodland sounds, detected the
cracking of underwood in the distance.
His equally sharp eyes saw the figures
of two men approaching. Flu. as ne
recognized the features of one of them
he drew back with a beating heart. a
hushed breath and hurriedly hid him
sell in the shadow For he had Sc an
that figure once before-hying tefore
the sheriff and an armed posse tad
had never forgotten It'll 1t was the fig
ure of Spanish Pete a notorious des-
perado and sluice robber!
Finding he had been unobserved. the
boy took courage, and his small facuI-
ties became actively alive. The two
men came on together cautiously. and
at little distance the second man,
whom Johnny did not know, parted
from his companion and began to loi-
ter up and down, looking around as If
acting as sentinel for the desperate,
who advanced directly to the fallen
tree. Suddenly the sentinel uttered an
exclamation, and Spanish Pete paused.

Johnny Starlight found himself again
late for school. It was always happen
ing. 1t seemed to be inevitable with
the process of going to school at all.
And it was no fault 20 his" some
thing was always occurring &C.
centricity of nature or circumstance
was invariably starting up in his daily
path to the schoolroom. He may not
have been "thinkin' of squirrels" and
Yet the rarest and most evasive of that
genus were always crossing his trail;
he may not have ben "huntin' honey"
and yet a wild bees nest in the hollow
of an oak absolutely obtruded itself
before him; he wasn't bird catchin',"
and yet there was yellow hammer al
ways within stones throw. He had
heard how grown men hunters always
saw the most wonderful animals when
they hadn't got a gun with EN-" and
it seemed to be his lot to meet them
in his restricted possibilities on the
way to school. If nature was thus
capricious with his elders. why should
folk think ii strange If she was as mis-
chievous with a small boy?
on this particular morning Johnny
had been beguiled by the unmiStakable
footprints-so like his own-Of a bears
cub What chances he had of ever
coming up with them. or what he
would have done if he had, he did not
know. lie only knew that at the end
of an hour and a half he found him
self two miles from the schoolhouse.
and from the position of the sun, at
least an hour too late for school. lie
knew that nobody would believe him.
The punishment for complete truancy
was little worse than for being late.
He resolved to accept it, and by way
of irrevocability at once burnt his
ships behind HMM devouring part of
his dinner.
Thus fortified in his outlawry, he be-
gan to look about him. He was on a
