It became a stage road. A great railroad sent survey- ors toiling up each of the deep and winding canyons in the attempt to reach the mighty camp whose fame .was beginning to shine throughout the world. The beautiful grassy hills were blotched with eruptions of red earth. Paths appeared leading from burrow to burrow like runways in a‘ town of prairie dogs. The main street of Bozle was 10,000 feet above the sea, but at last, on the top of Pine mountain, a vein of ore running $2,000 to the ton was discov- ered, and another town aroseâ€"full 11,- 000 feet above sea levelâ€"the highest town in all America, and this became at once celebrated above all others and was called Skytown. In the end Skytown dominated the whole camp and gave name to it. Bo- zle, Grass Mountain, Pin Gulch, Hou- But the assayers, the men of learn- ing. persisted and_ in their little mor- tars brayed the ore and in tiny porta- ble furnaces smelted for many a stur- dy miner minute buttons of shining metal. The gold was there, and at last even the most skeptical believed. At first. though short of breath by reason of the altitude. two full miles above the sea. some of these incomers laughed and some were angry. “Gold! In these grassyhills? Impossible!” And they went away again with bitter words. It was Mount Horeb repeated on a large scale.

Again the adventurous youth. the skilled pros- pector. the gambler and all the uneasy and shifting elements that follow such lures poured into the valley and toiled over the trail to the grassy hills of Bozle.

This, however, proved to be too fanciful for his cowboy neighbors, who promptly called it “Le Bean’s Hole," and in the end it was known among cattlemen as Bozle Creek. Valley Springs was becoming known as a pleasant health resort, and the wa- ters of its springs were being bottled and shipped to the eastern cities. Each year a larger number of stricken ones came to find reSpite, it not recovery, in its gloriously bright sunlight and pure air. For years it remained a village and its business men merely shopkeep- ers and resident ranch owners, but as its fame spread families of wealth and social position in the east began to set- tle along the bank of the Bear and to build homes into which the sunlight streamed with heaiing magic, and the men of these families began to look about for business and for investment. and not a few of them were in the mood to listen when rough bearded men begun to pied down the trail from Bozle Creek bringing sacks of promis- ing ore. CHAPTER IX. EANWHILE. during Ray- mond’s days on the ranch. while the cattle were wither- ing away on the plains and €06 long trail from the south was fill- ing with grass, a most notable settle- ment had been forming like some new kind of parasitic growth on the west- ward shoulder of old Mogalyon, the mighty peak to the west. In the midst of the mountains, in the lap of two smooth, grassy domes, old Philip Le Beau established a cow camp in the early seventies and called Just west of Le Bean’s camp, and sentinel to the valley of the Loup, stood a symmetrical peak which some mis- sionary to the red people had called Mount Horeb. About the year 1870 some! persons not missionaries planted gold in the soil in convenient places at the base of this hill and raised a mighty shout over the discovery of a new El Dorado. A rush took place, and to the outside world the region became known as “the Mount Horeb mining district” and was alluded to with deep seated resentment, with curses. But there were miners whom neither the dogmatic Opinions of geologists nor the tricks of schemers could turn aside from a faith that somewhere on the mighty slopes of Mogalyon lay veins of gold, and these continued to chip and to dig and to hammer. COPYRIGHT. 1905. BY HAMLIN GARLAND Denver, Kansas City, HAMLIN GARLAND “It’s ninety-nine chances to one ye lose y’r wad.” “I know it.” ,0 “Have ye a wire?” “I have not.” “Any one dependin’ on ye?" “No one.” Kelly relaxed, and his eyes began to at gleam friendlily. “Very well, then, I consent to rob ye. I’m the owner of one mine into which I’ve put me last dollar, but I know a dandy proposition which I’d like to display. I’ll take ye with me over the hills when ye’re a lit- tle better acquainted with me.. and when ye’ve seen the mine we’ll talk the ‘8 termsotpartnership. Thebanka'sw know me, and the taro dealers likewise, the more shame to me.” A smile of sin- gular charm curved his handsome lips. “But never mind that. Matt Kelly nev- er tuck advantage of any man. and ,1, that, I think, ye’ll find me neighbors agreed upon. I’ll not say I like the looks of ye-that would sound like blameyâ€"the truth bein’ I’m seekin’ a partner, but in a day or two I’ll lay me scheme before ye.” ! Putting aside business, they talked of their personal stairs, Raymond guard- edly, Kelly with entire freedom and L1,. ‘ some humor. Kelly was married and u had two little boys, for whom he was ad now living. “Since Nora came," he ‘said, with tenderness, “I drink no :morebntglmbnngisinmebpw: I_ i play no more mm cards or dice, but with lodes and shafts. I’m always tak- ing on new chances. I load meselt up I with Hgoodthlngs tillmobackisbrokm I and me hands tall empty.” “Do you know of a promising prop- erty to lease?” “1 do.” “Will you show it to me?” “I will.” Raymond was amused by the crisp succinctness of these replies. It was plain that the prospector was sizing him up, and favorably. Kelly indicated a chair. “Sit down. man; ye look like a citizen with a lung faded. Where are ye from ?” “I’m a rancher from the plains.” “And ye want to mine?” do?” “Take out a lease,” answered Kelly promptly. “I’m neither,” Raymond smilingly re» plied. “I’ve just eaten the supper they serve here, and I’m fairly com- fortable. but I want to ask your ad- vice about a business matter. If you had a little money and wanted to break into mining, what would you “You look like a sick man,” replied Keliy, scrutinizing him. “And a bun- gry man.” Kelly turned his keen gray eyes on his questioner. “I am, sir. What can I do for ye?” “I’ve heard you’re a good natured man.” began Raymond. Kelly slid his hand into his pocket. “How much is it?” Raymond laughed. “Do I look like that?" One night as he sat toasting his shins before the big fire in the hotel he beâ€" came immensely interested in the grand physical proportions and easy, unstud- ied grace of a middle aged miner who stood with his back to the fire replying to the rapid questions of a young re- porter whose head was bent absorbedly above his notmook and pencil. The prospector satisfied every requisite of a mountaineer. His massive head, cov- ered with grizzled hair; his handsome, weather beaten, smiling face; his worn laced boots, spattered with mud; his rusty brown jacket and his broad hat, worn with careless yet unfailing grace, made him easily the most picturesque figure in the room, and when some one clapped him on the back and called out, “Hello, Kelly!” Raymond realized, with a pleasant warming of the heart, that he was looking upon Rocky Moun- tain Kelly, who knew the ranges of the west as intimately as the lines on the palm of his hand. Seeking opportunity, he touched the big man on the shoulder. “Are you Matthew Kelly?” For a week he did nothing but stroll slowly up and down the streets of B0- zle, studying his surroundings, listen- ing to all that was said and asking searching questions of every man who seemed to know anything of mining matters. The altitude at first troubled him greatly, but he ate well and slept well, and day by day his strength and native resolution expanded within him, and he began to definitely seek a place whereon to try his hands at labor. Skytown was the cupola of Sky camp. It surveyed the whole field, dominated only by the glittering crest of Mogalyon, which rose nearly 4,000 feet higher into the thin and fleckless air. Bozle and Hoffman and Indian Creek and Eureka and a half dozen other villages lay below. This was the town, the camp, toward which Raymond had been gazing in longing and irresolution for two years and to which he directed his steps as soon as he was able to walk with something of his old time vigor. '1'ne nouses or the peak were tents, sxao shacks and cabins of aspen poles, and remained so, while splendid stone pal- aces had already appeared in the val- ley, and every comfort and nearly ev- ery luxury of the east was obtainable, almost common. ‘6Yes.” ye ?” DURHAM CHRONICLE “Matt can find gold easy enough, but he can’t keep it.” “I’m not very well, but I’m going to tear up the sod just the same. Your husband is to show me how.” “You don’t look very well, sir,” Mm. Kelly said to Raymond. Raymond’s blood leaped with the joy of it. Mrs. Kelly was unexpectedly lady- like, small and very pretty, with a skin that no wind could tan, and her great, wistful, pathetic eyes appealed to Ray- mond with instant power. She greeted him cordially, and, while Kelly took the horses to the corral, he entered at her invitation. Her voice was as charming as her pale face and hair of burnished gold, and the young fellow looked upon her in surprise. esque nooks amid the rocks. Toward one of these, more homelike than the others, Kelly directed his horse, and as he neared the door a couple of lusty, yellow haired boys of six or seven years of age came bounding out to meet him. As they left Baldy and turned to climb Pine mountain the dwellings thickened. They were nearly all .built of the smooth, straight trunks of the aspen, but nearer the summit were of fir. and a few of them stood in pictur- upon a grassy slope like a purple brown ribbon. The air was keen, the sky a fleckless blue hemisphere. Ray- mond’s blood leaped with the joy of it and with a sense that his feet were set at last on the road to fortune. All about him the miners were climb- ing, each his special way, swinging a tin bucket which sparkled like glass in the morning sun. Great wains loaded with ore rolled creaking on their down- ward course, while others of their kind, piled high with lumber and machinery, crawled slowly up the curving roads. On every side men were tunneling into the hillsides, trenching in gullies and toiling at windiasses whose joints cried out resoundingly as the heavy ore boxes rose. The whole scene set forth buoyant activity and hope. Each man had either struck ore or hoped to do so at any moment. Here and there on the slope a tall and shapelcss shaft house rose, with heaps of orange and blue gray refuse rock close beside it. The whole camp was as yet disorganized, formless and debatable. Not one in a hundred of the mines was a paying property; all the others were mere prospects. humorous glance of his big, gray eyes, and Raymond sat with him long. His vast experience, his indomitable good nature, his physical pride, all appealed to the rancher with such power that he left him with a distinct exaltation. “Here is the man to help me make my fortune. and I can be guide to him,” he added, and he went to sleep that night with greater confidence in his future than at any time since taking Barnett’s ranch. He set his teeth hard in the determination to win, and though he had put Ann quite out of his plans for the future, she remained an inspira- tion and a lure. His feeling of confidence in Kelly was deepened by his ride with him next day. Turning from the gulch road. Kelly led the way up the side of Pine moun- tain, along a trail which braided itself “I’ve confessed as much. Nora. me 'rnere was sometmng wmmng 111 me They usually contain acids and burn the flesh.

It had the dirt roof, the widely project- ing caves and the southern porch of a mountain cabin, and its latchstring and battened door were in keeping; only the windows, with their machine made frames, were out of key. There were two small bedrooms, a living room, which served also for dining room, and a tiny kitchen, and yet it produced on Raymond’s mind the most charming effect of unhesitating hospitality and homeliness. This was due as much to the charm of Mrs. Kel- ly’s manner as to the deep voiced, cor- dial invitation of the host himself. There was no lock on their door and no bar to their warm hearts. But Raymond saw what Matt’s lov- ing eyes could not discernâ€"Nora was overworked and losing heart. In spite of her ready smile and cordial second- ing of her husband’s invitation, “Ye must make your home with us,” she was not strong enough to take on this “Here," said Kelly, “is where we tap ‘the river or life.’ This is my own mine, but the wan I advise ye to take is that just beyond. I have an offer for me own prOSpect, but I shall not take it. If ye are agreeable, we’ll lease the Last Dollar together and work it to the limit, for I’m satisfied its vein is the same as me own, which will keep; but if I strike ore, Curran, who owns the Last Dollar, will jump his price to the moon. Our lay is to bond and lease his mine, move my ma- chinery over to his old shaft and work like mad to open up ore to buy in the property. Ye see, no one has touched pay ore in this quarter, and Curran is anxious to sell. He offers it at $15,000. I believe we can open a vein that’li pay fer it in less than six months. Will ye go in with me?” “I will.” As their hands met their hearts warmed to each other. Kelly removed his hat and was almost solemn as he said slowly: “This makes us both. Now let’s go eat.” g‘lrl, and it Raymond can help me on that score I’ll put him in the way of makin’ his pile. Can ye walk a few rods? It so, I’ll show ye the mine and the chance."

This was explained by the fact that the footman. having obtain dupli- cate keys to his master’s desk, had. when Du Moulin was arrested. feared that he himself would be imphcaied. and, to fasten the guilt upon his mas- ter, placed the entire paraphernalia in the latter’s drawer. Happily, the whole plot was revealed in time to save an innocent man’: lifeâ€"Sketch. The date of the execution drew near. and the man’s doom seemed sealed. Then a miracle happened. A man named Williams, a seal-en- graver, was killed in the street, and his! death brought his wife to the verge ‘ the grave. Assured that she co not recover, she confessed that her hus band had been one of a gang of coine and that Du Moulin had been their in- nocent victim. In Du Mouldn's employ was a footman who belonged to the gang and had been in the habit of extracting from the desk of his master good coins and sub- stituting false, It was these latter which the French- man had charged his customers with pal-ming 01‘! upon him. A criminal indictment was then laid against Du Moulin, his effects were searched, and among them were found many false coins and the whole appar- atus for counterfeit coining. to The Frenchman brOught an action for defamation, and the defendant call- ed many witnesses to prove what had been the practice of the suspect. This happened following a deal with a merchant of nepu e, v» ho not only de- nried the charge, but declared that Du Moulin was himself a coiner.
