waved something white. We waved
in return, whereupon they advanced
slowly in our direction.
AS they neared we saw them to be
Indians. Their leader held before him
a stick to which had been tied num-
Der of white feathers. AS they ap-
preached us they began to leap and
dance to the accompaniment of weird
rising and falling chant. They certain
ly did not look very formidable with
their heterogeneous mixture Of cloth
ing, their round, black, stupid faces
and their straight hair. Most OF them
were armed simply with bows and ar
rows, but three carried specimens OF
the long Spanish musket.
The Indians said they wanted to
trade
We replied that we saw nothing they
might trade with US.
In return they produced some roots
and several small bags of pine nuts.
We then explained that we were re-
luced in ammunition and had little
food.
Don Gaspar here interpolated hast1-
ly, saying that in his judgment 1t
would be absolutely necessary that we
made some sort of present to avoid
the appearance Of intending a, a1front.

CHAPTER XVI,
On Trail of the indians.


Y WAS terribly excited. The patter
\ of the horses was now plainly au-
dible, though owing to the inc
Il qualities of the ground, they could
not become visible farther than hun
dred yards away. l trembled violent
ly and cursed myself for coward,
though | really do not think was
frightened. At any rate, | became
deadly cool the moment the first say
age appeared, and [ drew a steady
bead and toppled him off his horse be-
fore any one else had got in action.
The shot brought them to stand.
They had, l think, expected to find us
in our ravine and were surprised. I'M
mediately l dropped the butt OF my
rifle to the ground and began reload
ing. A shower Of arrows flew toward
us, but were DETECTED by the crisscross
of the willows. In fact, this laceWork
of stout branches seemed to be an ex-
cellent sort of armOr against arrows.
In the meantime my companions mad
each dropped his man, though Vasquez
had better luck than skill, as his say
age was only clipped in the leg. l
fired once more and ELECTED a howl.
There could be no missing at the dis
lance unless man quite lost his head,
and personally l was too scared Tor
that Another shower Of arrows rat
tied in the willows; then the band
broke to right and left and raced away
up the hills like mad. They had no
courage and lost stomach for the fight
at once when they found us prepared.
We were astonished and delighted,
for we had fully expected to be ridden
down. AS soon as we were quite GER
tain this sudden retreat was not ruse
we came out from our shelter. How
many wounded had made off, if any,
we could not tell. Three dead bodies
lay on the ground. To them we paid
no attention, but, with many forebod-
ings, hurried back to camp.
When we appeared in sight Missouri
Jones ran out to meet us, his rifle over
his arm.
where's Johnny?' l cried.
"He was down at the river a-getting
water said Jones, "and l amt seen
him since"
We all ran down to the edge OF the
river pool whence we drew our sup
ply. For a moment our hearts stood
still, for no Johnny was in sight. Then
he arose dripping from the middle OF
the pool.
'This waters cold" he remarked
conversationally. II think I'll coma
out Anybody hurt?'

meadow toward the river covey Of
quail whirred away before me, lit and
paced Off at a great rate. Two big
grouse roared from a thicket.
The river was beautiful, clear
stream, with green wavery water
whirling darkly in pools or breaking
white among the stones. AS my shad-
ow fell upon it I caught glimpse OF
a big trout scurrying into the darkness
beneath a bowlder. Picking my way
among the loose stones, l selected a
likely place on the bar and struck
home my pick.
I have since repeated the sensations
Of that day-on a smaller scale, OF
course-in whipping untried trout wa
tiers, same early excitement and en-
thusiasm, same eager sustained per-
sistence in face of failure same in
credulous slowing down, same ultimate
discourse cement, disbelief and disgust.
All that day I shoveled and panned.

While he was away we came to an
other decision. 1t had been for some
weeks preparing The diggings were
becoming overcroWded. Almost every
loot Of the bar was occupied and more
men were coming in every day. NO
longer could the newcomer be sure or
his color the afternoon Of his arrival,
but was forced to prospect here and
there up and down the river until he
found a patch Of the pay dirt Most
trusted simply to luck, but some had
systems on which they worked. [ have
seen divining rods used The believers
in chance seemed to do as well as any
one else.
But, also, our own yield was de
creasing The last week we had gain
ed only nineteen ounces all told. This
might be merely lean bit of misfor-
tune, or it might mean that we had
taken the best from our ten claims.
Since the human mind is prone to
changes, we inclined to the latter the
ory We were getting restless. NO
miner ever came to California who did

done much better had he come out
one voyage earlier, and no miner ever
found diggings so rich that he had not
q sneaking suspicion that he could do
even better "a little farther on"
Our reStleSSnesS was further in
creased by the fact that we were now
seeing a good deal of Sam BagSby, the
hunter He and Yunk bad found much
in common and forgathered of even
ings before our campfire.
Bagsby was man of over fifty, tai
and straight as a yOunSster, with
short white beard, a gray eye and
hard. tanned flesh. He was typical
Rocky mountain man, wearing even
in the hottest weather his fur cap with
the tail hanging behind, his deerskln
moccasinS and his fringed buckskin
hunting shirt. Mining possessed no in
terest for him whatever He was by
profession Il trapper, and he had cross
ed the plains a half dozen times.
''No mining for me.' he stated en-
phatically. Il padded around after
the stuff for awhile, till my hands

ny's gun, but they was about out of
range While | was looking after
them about forty Injuns went past
slly-hootin'. | suppose they thought
the first lot had all the hosscS, and so
they didn't stop. The rest of the bosses,
luckily. was asleep behind the cotton
woods. You bet | didn't call their at
tentiOn to myself"
He exhibited the greatest satisfac-
ton when he learned that we had ac-
counted for four.
'"Thats something like lnjun fight
ing" he Observed, though these are Il
pore, spiritlcss lot. The whole bag

GOOD bosses"
We did no more gold washing that
day, but remained close in camp, con-
stunned with anxiety for our cOmpan-
ions. From time to time we fired Il
rifle, with the idea Of warning them
that something was amiSS. The re-
naming half dozen horses we ran into
the corral.
Night fell and still the hunters did
not return. We were greatly alarmed
and distressed, but we could not think
Of anything to do, for we had not the
least idea in what direction to look.
"Bagsby and Yank are old hands"
speculated Missouri Jones cOnSOlingly.
"And the fact that Injuns is abroad
would make them slow and careful"
None Of us felt like turning i'll. We
all sat outside on the ground around a
little fire.
Toward midnight we heard voices,
and a moment later Yank and Bagsby

ivin', because l amt very particular

He and Yank smoked interminable
pipes and snapped yarns. Johnny and
I liked nothing better than to keep
quiet and listen to them. Bagsby had
come out with Captain Suffer and told
Of that doughty soldiers early Skin
mishes with the Indians. His tales of
the mountains, the plains and the game
and Indians were so much romance to
us, and we both wished heartily that
fate could have allowed us chance
at such adventures.
"But why don't you fellows branch
out?" Bagsby always ended. what

it, and hide it quick. If see it I'll get
drunk
Yank and McNally at this moment
strolled from around the bushes. We
all burst out on them.
''See your fool nuggets and color
and raise you this" drawled Yank.
And he hauled from his pocket the
very largest chunk of virgin gold it
has ever been my good fortune to be-
hold. 1t was irregular in shape. pitteG
and scored, shaped a good deal like
an egg and nearly it's size. One pound
and a tiny fraction that great nugget
balanced when we got around to
weighing It. And then to crown the
glorious day which the gedS were
Dbrimming for US came Don Gaspar and
Vasquez, trailed by that long and sat
urnine individual, Missouri Jones. The
Spaniards We're outwardly calm, but
their eyes snapped. AS soon as they
saw us they waved their hats.
"Ah, also you have found the gold!'
cried Don Gaspar sensing Immediate
~ the significance of our presence.
I'VE too. 1t is of good color, there
above by the bend" His eye widened
as he saw what Yank held. "Madre
de Diosv he murmured.
McNally, who had said and done
nothing, suddenly uttered a resound-
ing whoop and stood on his hands.
Missouri Jones, taking aim, spat care
fully in the center of the fire, missing
the dishpan by a calculated and ac-
curate inch.
THE country is just flowing with
gold" he pronounced.
Then we blew up. We Rugged each
other. we pounded each others backs,
we emulated McNally's wild Irish
whoops, finally we joined hands and
danced around and around the re-
mains of the fire, kicking up our heels
absurdly. Bagsby, leathery grin on
his face, stood off one side. He still
held his long barrcled rifle, which he
presented at who ever neared him.
Il tell you, look outn' he kept say
ing over and over. I'm sh0Otin' luna
tics today, and apparently there's plen-
~ game to choose FROM
Although we did not Immediately
run into the expected thousands, nor
did the promise of that first glorious
day OF discovery quite fulfill itself, new
ertheless our new diggings turned out
to be very rich. We fell into routine,
and the days and weeks slipped by.
Bagsby and one companion went out
every day to hunt or to fish. We took
turns at vacation in camp. Every
night we "blew" our days collection
Of sand, weighed the gold and packed
it away. Cur accommodations were get
ting to be very valuable.
For q month we lived this idyllic life
quite unm0lested and had gradually
come to feel that we were so far out
Of the world that nothing would ever
disturb US. The days seemed all alike,
clear, sparkling, cloudless. 1t was my
first experience with the California
climate, and these things were a per
petual wonder to my New England
mind.
Then one day when | was camp

meadow a number Of men emerged
from the willows and hesitated uncer-
tainly. They were too far way to be
plainly distinguishable, but l believed

and none of the owners expresses
the least fear of being unable to meet

Of vegetables, eggs and butter some
difficulty may be experienced in re-

may be overcome by resorting to
jams and jellies. The supply of can
goods is equal to normal demand
for period of so days. The stock
OF flour will last for the same time.
There is also good stock Of sugar.

strike, there is evidence that such
was the case. The feeling prevails
that way will be found to avert a
walkout.
Brotherhood leaders, however, re-
iterated that no power except a salts
factory settlement would avert a
strike.
Z A suggestion for immediate action
on the resolution to provide investi-
cation of the differences of the rail-
roads and employees and that strike
pending decision be unlawful, has
been considered by the interstate
commerce committee. No decision
was reached.
Inquiry among railroad directors
and important financial interests af-
filiated with railroads. indicated no
change of attitude in respect to the
railroad strike situation. Although
the negotiations at Washington have
been In charge OF the railroad presi-
dents. 1t Is understood that the ulti-
mate decisions in their dealings with
the employees and the president have
with few exceptions rested in the
hands of the executive committees
of the various board of directors
many of whom are the most import
ant financiers of the country. One
of them said today that the last word
on the railroad side had been said.
Congress, 1t was pointed out, has
not the power to prevent a strike by
enacting the presidents legislation,
but it was strongly limited that the
railroads might call into question the
constitutionality of the proposal to
enforce the eight hour day.
