A long silence fell between them.
The action during the last few min

Nathaniel and his wound troubled him
again. AS the pain and his terrible
thoughts of Marion's fate returned to
him he regretted that they had not
ended 1t all in one last fight at the

died like men instead of waiting to be
shot down like dogs. their hands

stranger who visited the ancient

years or more, says an Oakland cor.

lion that belonged to Granville Swift,
an early day miner who lived in this
hut while operating in the mines in
the hills east of Chico, ~lesving in the
early COS with nearly $750,000 in
gold, which took six weeks to weigh
and required a pack train and strong
guard to transport out of the country.
The stranger was seen lettering
about the adobe but one evening, and
a Mr.. Fawcett, who lives near, tried
to learn his mission, but failed. The
next morning Fawcett found where
a box or can had been dug up during
the night. There were several stakes,
showing that measurements had been
made from a chart to locate the place
to dig. Only one hole was made.
When Granville Swift weighed his
gold he found two or more large p0r-
ter bottles Of it missing. 1t is sup
posed they were stolen and buried and
that this stranger learned of their
whereabouts.
