later Kirby joined him, and the two
remained together, talking earnestly,
until the gong called us all to supper.
Across the long table, bare of cloth,
the coarse food served in pewter
dishes, was struck by the drawn,
CHASTITY look in Beaucaire's face. He
had aged perceptibly in the last few
hours, and during the meal scarcely
exchanged word with anyone, eating
silently, his eyes downcast. Kirby,
however was the life of the company,
and the miners roared at his humor-
Gus stories and anecdotes of adyen-
ture-whiIe outside it grew dark, and
the little Warrior struggled cautiously
through the waters, seeking the chan
mel in the gloom.

The insinuoting sheer on Kirby's |
lips changed into the semblance Of |

once glancing down at the face of his |
cards, he turned them up one by one
with his white fingers, his challenging
eyes on the Judge; but the others saw
what was reyealed-a ten-spot, q

CHAPTER ~.

That scene, with all its surround

my memory. 1t will never fade while
I live. The long narrow, dingy cabin
of the little Warrior, it's forward end
unlighted and in a shadow the single
swinging lamp, suspended to black
ened beam above where the table had
stood, barely revealing through its
smoky chimney the after portion show

through sheer neglect, or some instinct
of bitter hatred-had failed to meet
the requirements of his duty. Even
as sat there, struggling vainly against
this suspicion, the judge himself came
forth upon the lower deck and began
pacing back and forth restlessy be-
side the rail. 1t was a struggle for

1t must have been nearly midnight
before | finally decided to seek a few

only pausing a moment to glance care
lessly in through the front windows
of the main cabin. The forward por-
ton was wrapped in darkness, and I'M
occupied but beyond, toward the rear
Of the long saloon, considerable group
of men were gathered closely about a
small table, above which a swinging
lamp burned brightly the rays Of light
Illuminating the various faces. Gam
bling was no novelty on the great river
in those days, gambling for high
stakes, and surely no ordinary game,
involving small sum, would ever
arouse the depth Of interest displayed
by these men. Some instinct told me
that the chief players would be Kirby
and Beaucalre, and with quickening
pulse opened the cabin door and en-
tered
No one noted my approach, or so
much as glanced up, the attention of
the crowd riveted upon the players.
There were four holding cards-the
Judge Kirby, Carver and McAfee; but
l judged at a glance that the latter
two were merely in the game as pre-
tense, the betting having already gone
far beyond the limit of their resources,
