George Casey was indeed a "ten-
derfoot." but this was not the worst
of his failings Raised in wealthy
family, he had been given everything
he wished. and had ruled his fathers
house to suit himself. That he was
the most important portion of the
family. he did not for a moment doubt
and it was his greatest desire that
others should share that opinion with
regard to him. When he found that
he was to spend the summer IN wy
oming looking after some mining IN
terests. he determined that of all other
things he would show the people
there that here was one tenderfoot
that was not so tender after all The
few friends whom he had made on
first arriving at Cold Springs, had
soon tired of his lOrdly ways and the
only one who cared to accompany
him on his various journeys over the
hills was Two-bits, who followed him
around like faithful dog

No two characters could possibly
have been more opposite than those
of George Casey and TwO-bits. She
had always been accustomed to asso-

treated her like one of their own kind,
and sometimes enjoyed teasing her

the darkness they could see distinctly

The brave young man was getting

been out in the mountains in the night

peculiar to the mountain country,

step. and felt himself falling. But the
girl was quick Suddenly reaching
out her arm. she grasped him by the
hand and fairly dragged him across
the chasm
"Well. I neverp he exclaimed in
fright "That's something awful,
don't you know. I say are there
many more like that?"

was the pre-emptory order.
"But I say. Two-bits, it isn't safe,

bounded away like a deer, leaving
George Casey sitting there in the
night alone.
Minutes dragged like hours. and
the darkness seemed to grow thicker
every moment, except when it was
penetrated by that uncanny glow from
down below Then, as he strained
his eyes to catch sight of the rescuing
party. he thought with bitter anguish
of the jokes that would be enjoyed at
his expense by the fellows in the
camp He knew that he had tried to
lord it over them. and now they
would have a chance to get even. He
could imagine Two-bits, as she ran in
to the LAST Chance" and in great
hilarity told the boys how she had left
"thet feler from Boston" out on the
edge of chasm on Burning Hills.
He could almost hear their loud
laughter as they prepared to come in

In the mist of these thoughts he

to tell them some yarn about me get

he said Then he remembered that
she had not been in the best humor.
and decided that she would probably
enjoy the sport as much as any of the
others.

an hour. and still the peak seemed as

"Confound it, said George, at last,
"if we had not stopped so long to talk
about it, we could have been there be-
fore this. I suppose it's too late to go
any farther"
Had Two-bits been more cultured
and learned, it is likely she would
have said, 'T told you So" But she
only turned as doggedly as before,
and followed him back toward the
] camp.

for his consent. she pushed her way
ahead of him. He had called her

she was not one.
He willingly took his place behind

knew that she had taken the RESPONSE

that he had taken her advice and
