Nerves" got along in an inconspi-

about camp for couple OF days, until
the Old Man ran up from the Junction

The Old Mans visit resulted in an
attack Of the blues for German, which

quit the previous week and gone up
to Daleheld to work in the mines, and
German had not been able to replace
them Consequently, our progress had
not been all that might have been
desired.
The Old Man was not one to ask for
excuses, as | have said before II was
only results which interested him.
And when the results we're not what
they should be, he was not at all
backward in saying SO.
But for Nerves, the Old Mans
visit proved a period of unalloyed
joy, for he succeeded in attracting the
attention of the Old Mans daughter,
and their acquaintance grew quickly
into kindly interest on her part and
a dog-like devotion on his. After that,
German, who was really too busy to
notice anything not connected with
his work, gave him a kindly word in
passing and even put stop to Nix.

German was evidently progressing
with the girl as fsyorably as with his
work. for the lines gradually began tc

worried look from his eyes, and one
Sunday he ran down to the Junction

was the first real day OF rest he had
enjoyed since spring.
However, II was tho very next day

something to himself about throwing
