AS it was, we sat bumped around our
fire until morning.
With daylight we began to get grip

accompany me. While we were talk.
ing over the future prospects McNally
came over to us, saying:
1.-THE boys are pretty Well agreed that
we ought to divide up what gold Is left
and let each man take care Of his own
share. Are you agreeable?
We instantly assented. The scales
were brought out, and the division be-
gan. It consumed most Of the morn
ing and was productive Of much SQUAD
bling, in which, however. we took no
part. Our share, including Yanks,
with which we were intrusted. came to
about thirty-one pounds, value Of
about $1,000. ........ ....
BY noon we had packed our goods,
and by night We had broken the back
Of our return journey.
We found a full grown town where
we had left few tents and miners
cabins. Its main street ran either side
the deep dust Of the immigrant trail
and consisted Of the usual shanties,
canvas shacks and log structures. with
rather more than the customary al
lowance of tin cans, old clothes, worn.
out boots and empty barrels kicking
around. The diggings were In the
gulch below the road. but the streets
of the town, and especially the shady
sides of the buildings. were numerous
ly furnished with lounging men.

distance along the wagon road. On
the outskirts Of the settlement he turn.

string of bright red peppers hung down

very fat, rather dirty but exceedingly
pleasant faced woman with glossy
black hair, parted smoothly, and soft
black eyes. She opened the door only
the fraction of an inch at first, but in
stantly recognized Don Gaspar and
threw it wide.
To our great relief, we found Yank
very much alive. He greeted us rath-
er feebly, but with satisfaction. We
found that he had been kindly cared
for and that the surface wounds and
bruises from the horses hoofs had been
treated with some skill.
But 1 reckon I'm hurt some inside,
he whispered with difficulty, "for
can't breathe easy. and I can't eat
nothin' but soup
The broken leg too had been bound
up after fashion, but it was badly
swollen above and below the bandages.

the morning they departed before we

word of thanks. These mysterious
visitors had given US no faintest ink

Don Gaspar stated fatty that they had
come to spy us out, having heard Of
our presence in the valley from the
Indians.
"And told them" said he trir.rph-

He went on to argue that thus he

that pack horses would soon be going

the lightest and had the strongest
horse, and managed to get the others
to confide to him q full half Of the
metal. At the last moment we had
modified the original plan to suit ev.
erybody. The horsemen encountered
by pack animals were to push on as
rapidly as possible In order to reach
by nightfall the settlement where
dwelt the Italian friend. Once there
they could feel themselves reasonably
safe. Johnny. Missouri Jones and
would ride with them until noon as
sort Of escort for the uninhabited por.
ton Of the journey. BY that hour
we figured we should have reached the
outskirts of the regular diggings.
where, our experience told us, our COM
panions would be safe. .a
Accordingly we pushed our mounts
hard. Unhampered by pack animals,
and aided by knowledge Of the route,
we made great progress. BY noon we
had passed the meadow of our nights

panied our men few miles farther,
then said farewell and godspeed and
hurried back in order to reach home
