because in his shy, hidden fashion he loved Danny.
 We made our way out of the hills without adventure worth noting. The road was muddy and a good deal washed-in fact, we had occasionally to do considerable maneuvering to find . way at all around the landslides from the hills aboNe
 One afternoon we turned off on . trail known to Old and rode few miles to where the Pine family had made its farm. We found the old man and his tall sons inhabiting a large two roomed cabin situated on a flat. They had already surrounded a field with a fence made of split pickets and aails and were working away with the tireless energy of the born axmen at inclosing still more Their horses had been turned into blowing, and from somewhere or other they had procured cock and a dozen hens. s$ For . brief period Yank and quite envied the lot. of these pioneers who had .. settled stake in the country. !

 "Just took it"

 "Oh, isn't thereY" he snarled-
 Then we learned how the weight of the gold around his waist had carried him down like a plummet, and we sensed little of the desperate horror with which he had torn and struggled to free himselr from that dreadful burden.

 l We drew up to San Francisco early in the afternoon, and we were, to put 1t mildly, thoroughly astonished at the change in the place. To begin with, we now landed at long wharf pro- jecting from the foot of Sacramento street instead of by lighter. This wharf was crowded by miscellaneous 1 mob, collected apparently with no oth- CT purpose than to view our arrival. Among them we saw many specialized l types that had been lacking to the old 1 city of few months ago-sharp, keen, businesslike clerks whom one could not imagine at the rough work of the mines; loafers whom one could not i'm agine at any work at all; absolute, hard faced characters without the bold
 freedom of the road agents; young
 green looking chaps who evidently had much to learn and who were exceed
 ingly likely to pay their little fortunes if not their lives, in the learning. On hogshead at one side street preach

 A relnctantly, and at the top +Kv Of the hill we stopped our
 two horses to look back on the valley. It lay, with its brown, freshly upturned, earth; it's scattered broad oaks, its low wood crowned knolls, aS though asleep in the shim- mering warm floods Of golden sum- shine Through the still air we heard plainly the beat of m ax and the low, drowsy choking of hens. A peaceful and grateful feeling of settled perma- hence, to which the restless temporary life of mining camps had long left us straneerS. filled us with the vague stirrings of envy.
 The feeling soon passed We march Cd. cheerfully away, our hopes busy with what we would do when we reached New York. Johnny and had accumulated very fair sums of money in spite of our loss at the hands of the robbers, what with the takings at Hangman's Gulch, what was left from the robbery and Italian Bar. These sums did not constitute an enormous fortune, to be sure. There was noth- ing spectacular in our winnings, but they totaled about i've times the amount we could have made at home, and they represented very fair little stake with which to start life. We were young. t K We found Sacramento under water. A sluggish, brown flood filled the town and spread far abroad over the flat countryside. Men were living in sec ond stories of such buildings as pos sessed second stories and on the roofs of others. They were padding about in all sorts of improvised, boats and rafts. I saw one man keeping a pre- curious equilibrium in a bakers trough, and another sprnwled out face down on an India rubber bed, padding over side with his hands. z
 We viewed these things from the thwarts of boat which we hired for $1O. Our horses we had left outside of town on the highlands. Everywhere we passed men and shouted to them a cheery greeting. Everybody seemed optimistic and inclined to believe that the flood would soon go down.
 Anyway, she's killed the rats," one man, shouted in answer to our call.
 We grinned an appreciation of what we thought merely a facetious reply Rats had not yet penetrated to the mines, SO we did not know anything about them. Next day in San Francis co we began to apprehend the mans remark.
 Thus we hrowed cheerfully about haviaH . good time at the other fel lows expense. Suddenly Johnny, who was steering. dropped his paddle witt an exclamation. Tank and turned tc see what had so struck him. Beyond the trees that marked where the banl of the river ought to be we saw two tall smokestacks belching forth grea volume of black smoke.
 "A steamer!r cried Tank.
 "Yes, and good big ,one!' I added. We lay to our oars and soon drew alongside. She proved to be a sid, wheeler of fully 700 tons, exactly lik, the craft we had often seen plyini the Hudson

leaning on the rail forward watching the effect of the moon on the water and the shower of sparks from the twin stacks against the sky I was suddenly startled by the cry of "man overheard" and rush toward the stern. I followed as quickly as l was able. The paddle wheels had been in- stantly reversed, and half dozen sail ors were busily lowering boat.
