CHAPTER XIII.
ROBBING THE 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 a large supply
They're diggin' fer me-"
This was his secret consolation and
apparently it satisfied him. His plans
babe fair 10 come out well if the sailor
kept his word and returned. This was
the only isturbing thought. 1t 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 a mans fig
ure stood OUT in plain sight. Even as he
looked it disappeared.
Hes got more sand than thought"
muttered Bowers as he made his way
back to his claim and worked away
with feverish energy. 81 must risk it
tonight or never!"
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 cleftin the rock which

stepped forward with extended hand,
saying:
Hello, Mitchell! Where did you come
from?"
''Why, it's Joe TarboX!"
One of the strangers shook his hand
warmly and then asked, eagerly:
whats the show here, Joe? That's a
beauty nugget you have there!"
"Are there any more of you?" said
Tarbox
mo; Bill and 1 are ALL"
SLOW did you happen to find us?"
"Saw your smoke last night before
dark. We thought it must be somebody
out prospecting, and so we took look
over this way this morning. Struck it
rich?''
Yes; we've been here all winter. You
see where our claims are staked out.
Dick Taylor has gone to register them.
Better stake out before anyone else
comes. / guess you'll find plenty of
room above us. Idon't mind telling you
we've made our pile here, Bill. We've
mst found that this quartz ledge is a
nine of wealth. See that your claims
AXE in slice of it,
Before the words were fairly out of
his mouth the two men were tearing up
The valley like madmen, and before long
they had staked out their claims, and
were hard at work, bent on the one all
absorbing quest for which they had
braved the rigors of an artic winter,
thus far without success.
Half an hour later they had scraped
Iway the soil and moss, and sampled
The rich gravel just above the lightly
covered bed rock. The first pan Of
gravel was washed out and a moment
later the man Tarbox had accosted as
Bill came running up, with beaming
face, crying:
God bless you, Tarbox, for giving us
straight tip! Look at thisl Wen be
rich in no timel Look!"

who was apparently satisfied to wash
away at the other side of the ridge.
Whether he was doing well or not they
had no means of telling. He was
brought 10 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. l never saw him there be-
fore, and l 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. Wen attend tc 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 thecaye.
When they were completed the tired
men threw themselves on their beds of
boughs and were soon aaleep, 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 COM
panion. The whole matter had been ar
ranged by Avery, who had seen a
would-be robber deceived in a similar
manner in his younger days. lie 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 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.
Freed from the necessity of watching
Bowers, they now redoubled their Ia
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

on up how we stand"
They had a 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 bags containing the result OF
their arduous toll.
Bag after bag was laid aside in
silence until the last had been weighed.
Then after rapid mental calculation
The miner said:
well, l make it that we've got about
$3.50, 900 worth now. That's about $780,
700 apiece, and very tidy months

The gold hunters had struck a bo-
nanza in good truth, for they found
that the old river must have run over
bed of solid rock which was ONLY COW

places the bed rock had been too
smooth to hold the gold, and the labor
was wasted, but in others they found

tons.
Where the surface of the rock was
rough they found little pockets filed
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.
