He obeyed, looking up at me with
burning, sleepless eyes. My heart was
sore for his misery, and 1 said: Don't
mind, old chap. 1t can't be so awfully
bad You're here safe and sound at
any rate" And so l went on to give
him time, but he shuddered and looked
round and groaned.
'Now, look here, Graeme, let's have
1t. When did you land here? Where
is Nelson? Why didn't you bring him
up?"
"He is at the station in his coffin"
he answered slowly.
''In his cotiin?" 1 echoed, my beauti-
full pictures all vanishing. Glow was
it?"
Through my cursed folly" he groan-
ed bitterly.
"What happened?" 1 asked.
But, ignoring my question, he said:

what l am doing, but l can't rest till
l see his children. l promised him.

Tomorrow will do. Go to sleep now,

morrow" l urged.
NO" he said tiercely; tonight, now!"
In half an hour they were listening,
pale and grief stricken, to the story of
their fathers death.
Poor Graeme was relentless in his
self condemnation as he told how,
through his "cursed folly" old Nelson
was killed. The three-Craig, Graeme
and Nelson-had come as far as Victo-
ria together. There they left Craig
and came on to San Francisco. In an
evil hour Graeme met companion of
other and evil days, and it was not
long till the old fever came upon him.
In vain Nelson warned and pleaded.
The reaction from the monotony and
poverty Of camp life to the excitement
and luxury of the San Francisco gam
Ing palaces swung Graeme quite off
his feet, and all that Nelson could do
was to follow from place to place and
keep watch.
"And there he would sit" said
Graeme in hard, bitter voice, "wait-
