He's a relation of sorts, I heard, an', if TV'm any judge, Noo York ain't grievin' any over his absence." Steve did not answer; _ his thoughts were back in the little clearing a hundred yards away, where, two years before, a girl in a short, shabby frock, with hair the color of ripe corn, and blue eyes laden with unshed tears, had put her hand in his and made him pro- mise to write to her. He recalled his letter--he knew every word-- and lived again the weary months lof waiting for the reply that never came. Too proud to write again, | he had deduced his own reasons for ther silenee--she was wealihy, mov- ing in a new sphere, making new friends, and she had either forgot- 'ten or despised her old ones.

What's the good' of moaey to me when"--he stopped shoct, and fin- ished lamely--"when I'm an old man!' este The conclusion Was obviously ab- surd, but Josh accepted it. He knew what the real trouble was, just as he knew why Steve--whose visits to the settlements used to be rare events--now went every night, and spent more money at the sal- oon than he could well afford. Steve himself did not realize -why he went; he was simply conscious that he could not stay away. Certainly Nora gave him no encouragement, for her manner to him was even distant at times, and a disinterest- ed spectator would have noticed that she was kindest to Mendez when Steve was there to see it. The young miner knew it, and drew his own inferences. | Never- theless, when, after a few weeks, his rival openly boasted that the girl would soon be his, and produc- ed a photograph of herself which he said she had given him, Steve gave him the lie, and backed the as- sertion by a blow which sent Men- dez rolling in the dust. Nothing but the quickest intervention of the bystanders saved Steve from being shot down by 'the furious Spaniard. When Deane next met Miss McQueen his gratitude to those who had saved his life at once became a doubtful quantity. "Mr. Deane,' she said coldly, "the mere accident of your being an old friend does not entitle you to linsult newer ones.

McQueen was elected judge, and the selection of a jury was but a matter of moments. The prisoner, his hands bound behind him, and guarded by a pair of stalwart, armed -'miners--sur- veyed the proceedings with calm gravity. He knew his case was hopeless, and his only comforting thought was that Nora, visiting a neighboring camp, would not be back till it was all ever. One by one the victims of the previous robberies detailed their losses, and then Irish Pat told the story of the arrest, corroborated by his companion. Moreover, it was common knowledge that the prisoner had lest heavily at cards, and that supplied a motive. Even recital, could see no loophole escape for his partner. 'in such a community, was an essen- tial factor, and from men who re- garded the shooting of a card- cheat as a justifiable art a mean thief could expect no meray. Asked if he had anything to say, the pris- oner shrugged his shoulders and was dumb. "Anyone want to speak for the prisoner ?" asked the judge.

This man whom McQueen thought so much of --this Spanish grandee with estates in Spain--was nothing more than a common thief, caught red-handed stealing the gold he spent so lavish- ly in sustaining his reputation. An this man had stolen the girl he loved. But it was his turn now. "Keep your hands up and walk ahead,' he said, grimly. 'Don't drop that bag, if you want to live another minute." 'Goin' to give me up?' queried the captive. '"Why not go halves?' "You've guessed it," said Steve ; and added, fiereely, "And if I had- ; n't been { would now, you dog. Step out." The other drew hard on the cig- arette which quivered between his lips, but he made another attempt. "And the lady," he sneered. "How pleased she will be!" Steve paused; the words went home, shivering his dream of tri- umph to atoms. Thief or no, this man was the man Nora loved--the yan she was to wed; and though to give him to justice would save her from that, there would be the shame, the blow tc her pride. He made his decision quickly. "You'll have urgent business in New York to-morrow." he -- said. And you'll not come back. You understand ?"' "cee "'Sure," said Mendez. "Then drop that bag and clear out." Steve said, sharply, The thief obeyed with alacrity. A few yards away he turned his head, "and saw Steve pick up the gold and re-enter the hut.

A burst of cheering ratified the verdict, and the prisoner found himself the hub of an enthusiastic crowd, which, after meeting to de- prive him of his life, now unanim- ously expressed a wish to drink his good health. ; When at length he managed to escape, a desire for solitude took him to the little clearing. ,Fling- ing himself down on the pine-need- les he tried to think things out. He had not been there long when the bushes rustled, and he looked up impatiently, fancying Josh had come in search of him. But it was a girl who appeared--a girl in a shabby frock, with golden hair hanging in a plait behind--and at the sight of her he started up. "Fairy !'? he cried. And again, "Pairy !"' : "Tve come to answer your let- ter,' she said. '"'I got it this morn- ing--sent on from .New York--it was in a mail robbery, and they' ve only just found it.
