Reunion. He was very methodical,
because he knew how it must be done,
and that lack Of care would show the
partners that something was wrong.
1t took long time, out there in the
rain and the darkness. He went from
rifle to rifle, stopped over until, in
the flashes, he looked like a black
bowlder; and wherever he went the
dust was added in little thin trail
of gold that crept in a tiny stream
seeking freedom from the heavy
buckskin poke" he carried.
That was only part Of his work.
With an idle shovel he made trip aft
er trip distributing dirt along the
string of sluices. After that he let
the water run very gently, so as to
smooth out all trace. It seemed al
most as though the Lord was in the
conspiracy with him, because
through it all the rain fell so heavily
that it washed away the prints of his
feet; but he felt like thief, just the
same.

grin, as he slouched away down the
gulch his rubber boots singing a lit
tie "squich-squich-squic with each
step he took.
"But I reckon there's enough pay in
the boxes now to make Abner and
Ezra contented."
It had been repugnant to him, this
underhanded work, but he couldn't
give them anything outright.
The next evening Hugh made the
partners visit, but they didn't have
anything to say, not having cleaned
up" the sluices. In those days it
