happy as they apparently should have
been.
They took care of the flowers, and
did all those little chores they had
been in the habit of doing, but the
fact was that when dusk dropped down
AID they sat together on the little
bench they had made outside the
door, they didn't have much to say.
Each one was homesick for the old
log cabin away over across the di-
vide, the home they had known for
nearly thirty years, and for the little
wooden cross on the hillside
But they were so considerate Of
each other that neither would men

didn't want to wound his partner, and
second because he didn't want to ap-
pear childish or ungrateful True, the
Mariposa murmured it's way in a
canyon, with the same kind of trees
on the edges, and big, high, solemn
hills back of it all; but the brook
didn't sing the same songs, and the
canyon didn't have the same skyline.
and the trees were different shaped,
and the hills unfamiliar All nature
seemed to look at them and say:
What are you two old fellows doing
over here, when you really belong in
Ahpalino gulch?" And for the life
of them they couldn't answer.
Again, big cabin and store fur
niture, and a carpet were all very
nice-much nicer than one-roomed
old shack, with hewn floor and
homemade furniture and double
bunk; but with them always was the
sense of strangeness. They felt i'll

Hugh, and ought to belong to you."
Eyes, belongs to you," said Ezra,
with many shakes of his white beard.
Mccarthy refused strenuously, with
out giving them time to reply. Rough
ly told them to ''sit down and wait
for grub" and ended by Selling his
old white hat and boiling on the ex-
cuse that he had to watch his men
clean up.
Beats the devil he muttered, as
he went over the trail to the cut.

gone and turned crooked for the first
time in my life to help 'em, and I'll
be hanged if they don't come luggin'
back all the dust I took up there, and
a few more ounces with it. Humph!"
After supper, when darkness came
and they had smoked, Abner and Ezra
cleared their threats.
Hugh said Ezra from the dark
ness, quietly but with great determi-
nation, me and Abner have got
somethin more to say to you. It's

Mccarthy twisted in his seat while
Abner reiterated the last sentence.
Then Ezra continued:

afraid of breaking "some of the
fixin's'
Hugh used to come up to see them
quite often. 1t would be just about
dusk when they would see something
numbering up the trail for all the
world like big black bear, only this
one smoked pipe. He would sit
down by them on a chair, which they
always politely brought, and then the
three of them would watch the stars
come out.
Sometimes they would sit whole
hour in one of these visits without
saying a word. All you would hear
beside the Groom of the Mariposa be-
low and the signing Of the big trees
above, would be the ''puff-puff" Of the
pipes or the scratching of match.
Then Hugh would say: Good night,
boys" and the two old voices, so
sweetly tuned by fine old age, would
say in unison: Good night, Hugh

they never forgot that!

there was something that kept them
from being quite as happy as they
once were. So he decided The Grand

He asked them one night, and found
it was only doing fairly well. Just
a little better than day wages.
Sailing a claim is about the mean
est thing a man can do in mining
country. It's a sneak's work. But
Hugh, much as he hated it, decided
there was but one way, and that was
to turn "salter.'
One night when it rained, and the
skies were black, and the big trees
dripping water, a big, burly man in
rubber boots and rubber coat worked
over the sluice-boxes on The Grand

CHAPTER XII.
The Fight In the Dark.

The Fight In the Dark.
Had the room been filled with men
Keith could have restrained himself
no longer. Whatever her past might
be, this woman appealed to him
strangely; he could not believe evil
of her; he would have died If need
be in her defense. But as it was, the
ugly boast of Hawley gave confidence
in the final outcome of this struggle in
the dark, even possibility of escape
for them all. The gam bier, assured of
being confronted merely by a frail
and not prescriptions woman. had
ventured there alone: had stationed
his men beyond sound; had doubtless
instructed them to ignore any noise
of struggle which they might overhear
within. 1t was these very arrange
ments for evil which now afforded op-
portunity, and Keith crept forward,
alert and ready. his teeth clenched.

end of the table, her cheeks flushed.

"You-you have seen him, then,
since you left me-" she faltered, be-
wildered, "and didn't bring him here
with you?"
"Why should II" and the man stepped
forward, his eyes on her, his
hands twitching with desire to clasp
her to him: yet restrained by some un:
definable power. "While I believed

"My brother story! Do you mean

know it all; be reasonable"
Apparently the girl had lost her
power of speech, staring blindly at the
face of the man before her, as bird
meets the slow approach of a snake.
Keith could see her lips move, but
making no sound. Hawley evidently
interpreted her silence as hesitation,
doubt as to his real meaning.

Keith could gain a. glimpse Of him.

his little game? Why had he inveigled
the girl into this lonely spot? And
what did he now propose doing with
her? AS he crouched there, peering
through that convenient crack in the
door, Keith completely forgot his own
peril, intent only upon this new dis
covery. She came slowly around the
end of the table, and stood leaning
against 1t, her face clearly revealed
in the light of the lamp. For the first
time Keith really perceived it's beauty,
Its fresh charm. Could such as she
be singer and dancer in frontier con-

sort of life?

She flushed to the hair, her lips

tone.

And why not?" with light laugh
"Come, Christie, such fine airs are a
