 Mir. Ghrey laid five onr.hundrcd- dollar bills in the mates palm.
 "GOo6-hy." he said gently. "an' see if you can't be as much o' a man an as good sport hereafter as them you've wrongcd an who's forgive you fully and freely"
 One by one the three trrchooterS Of the grceu-pru trade pumped the stricken mates hand, tossed him a scrap of advice. and went ovrrside ln- 10 the small boat which was to take them ashore. It was solemn parting and Mir. Glhney and MrGu'Icy were snufling audIbly

 With the assistance of the whurlin- ger an automobile was summoned and in due course the members of thy .U- dicate found themselves euscOurua in a fashionable suite in San Francisno's most fashionable hotel.
