The traveller noticed the little fellow more
Closely his sturdy, we'll built frame, his
manly air, his face, which reflected courage
and cheer and great tenderness as well. He
forgot his own trouble for moment.

he asked.

says probably the briny deep. He went
across the ocean and never came back, and
Sister says if he was not dead he would come
back"
"Poor little 1ad!" said the traveller. "No
mother either for you and your sister,"
Il never had any mother said the boy:
"but | wouldn't care about that if l had my

Z at hearing voices and ambled near the
two. "Your pardon, Sir" he said, "but
wanted to see who Billy was talking to.
Everybody hereabouts owns Billy, and we
wouldn't have anything happen to him."
"A fine. manly boy" said the traveller.

old man, suddenly Strengthening up his

The traveller started. The boy stood look
ing at him, his feet firmly planted on the
grass, his head thrown back, and his chest
thrown out, the same posture as the bronzed
man, barring the STOPPING shoulders.
@By Jove!" said the traveller. Il catch it
myself. Why not?'

Some strange spell held the traveller. He

Here was snag at the beginning; but an
African traveller should not be readily dis
couraged. As they neared the house a sweet
voice came on the breeze.
"Billy-oh, Billy!' it called. And the
boy, as if summoned by an angel, flew to the
arms held out to him.
"Oh, Sister, here is a father who wants to
adopt us!' he fairly shouted. The little
woman grew pale, and then as the bronzed
man turned the corner of the house she
promptly tainted.
This was more than even a brave African
traveller had counted upon, and he and the
boy were more than awkward in reviving
the frail little woman.
"Blly-Billy darling, where did you find
your father?' she murmured when at last
her eyes were open.

his heart in tumult. Then he dropped on

winter; but it is not nearly SO easy for a
COW to remain stolen under such conditions,
and the Wags were hard put to prevent dis
covery. 1t would have been far easier, they
realized, to steal a two-story brick house or
printing Office, and then, too, not one of
them knew how to secure the milk even after
they had gained the cows consent. They
made various experiments, however, one of
which resulted in Reddys having the breath
rammed out of him, and another causing
Thomasville to adopt crutches for day or
so. But eventually June got her milk, a
gallon of it daily. Every night or two the
COW had to be moved; every day they gagged
her to muff1e her voice. Then, when dis
covery was imminent, they made terms of
surrender, exacting twenty-five per cent. of
the gross output as the consideration for her
return.
They breathed much easier when the cow
was off their hands,
SPRING was in sight when June became
- strong enough to take up her duties; and
she was surprised to find her hotel running
as usual, also flour sack full of currency be-
meath her bed, together with set of books
showing her receipts. 1t was signed by
Llewellyn and witnessed by the other Wags.
There was no record of disbursements.
One day Whiting advised her to get out
in the air, and the Scrap Iron Kid volun-
teered to take her for a dog ride.
IL didn't know you had team, she said.
"Who, me? Sure! | got as good a team
as ever you see, he declared, and when she
accepted his invitation he proceeded to get
his dogs together in the following manner:
He tied a soupbone on string and walked
the back streets; then, when he beheld
likely looking husky, he dragged the bone
behind him, enticing the animal by degrees
to the Wag boys cabin, where he promptly
tied it up. He repeated the performance
seven times. The matter of harness and
sled was but detail; so June enjoyed ride
that put pink roses into her cheeks and gave
the Scrap Iron Kid feeling of pure, exalted
Joy such as he had never felt in all his ad-
venturouS career.
The day she walked over to the Wag- house
unassisted was one of such wild rejoicing
that she was forced to tell them shyly of her
own happiness, happiness so new that as
yet she could scarcely credit it. She was to
be Mrs. Harry Hope, and asked them to
wish her joy.
Llewellyn made a speech that evoked the

the brave fight of youth, and through it all
the six thieves tended her. They were ever
at her side, coming and going like the wraiths
of her distorted fancy, and while three of
them divided the day into watches the other
three ran the bunkhouse, keeping strict ac-
count of every penny taken in. They O. K d
one another's books, and it would have Jared
badly indeed with anyone of them had he
allowed the least discrepancy to appear in
his reckoning.
1t was a strange scene, this, sick and
friendless girl mothered by gang of crooks.
When June's condition improved they re-
joiced with deep ferocity that was pitiful;
when it grew worse they went about hushed
necessarily for Harry Hope, and it was Lew
ellyn who finally volunteered to go to Coun-
Gil City and fetch him-an offer that showed
the others he was game.
pUT before the weather had settled suf-
= ficiently to allow it, Hope came. He ar
rived one night in binding smother which
whined down over the treeless wastes, driving
men indoors before it's fury. He had heard
of June's illness and taken the trail within
an hour, fighting his way for hundred
trackless miles through blizzard that
daunted even Wag- boy, and he showed the
marks of battle. His face was bitten deeply
by the cold his dogs were dying in the har-
ness, and it was evident that he had not slept
for many hours. He whimpered like child
when Llewellyn met him at June's door
then he heard her YEARLY babbling his name,
as she had done these many, many days, and
he went in, kneeling beside her with his frozen
breath still caked upon his parka hood.
Llewellyn stood by and heard him ten
derly calling to the wandering girl, saw the
peace that came into her face as something
told her he was near; then the Wag boy who
had once been a gentleman came forward
and gave Hope his hand, and thanked him
for his coming.
June began to mend after that, and it was
not long before Whiting said she might re-
cover if she had proper food. She would
need nourishment, however, milk; but there
was only one COW in camp, and there were
other sick people, and hence not sufficient
milk to go round. The Wag-boys Jumped
their bankrolls and offered to buy the animal
from its owner; but he refused. So they
stole the COW and all her fodder.
Now, it is no difficult matter to steal
COW, even in mining camp in the dead of
