They were all tall, heavily built men, sloW mov. ing, slow speaking, with clear, steady eyes, a drawling way of talking and the appearance always of keeping a mental reservation as to those with whom they conversed. Just now they 'steod tall and grim behind us as we ate, and the gray dawn and the rose dawn grew into day. Nobody sald anything until we had finished, then Yank tose to his full height and faced the attentive men. { "I want vengeance," he announced long, lean arm. "Those devils have harried our stock and killed our pard- ner, and I'm not going to set quiet and let them do i." He turned to us. "Boys," said he, "I know you're with me thar. But I'm going to git our friends yere to go with us. Old man," an even voice. be sald to Pine, "you and yore sons help us with this job and we'll locate you on the purtiest diggings in these nills." "You bet!" agreed McNally. "You don't need to make my: boys no offer," replied Pine slowly. "Those Qirils were aftér our hosses too, snd they'd have got them if you hadn't Fcome along.

"Why not bury it?" 1 suggested. Bagsby and Pine snorted. "Any Injun would find it in a mins ute," said Pine. "And they know gold's worth some thing, too," put in Yank "This is a scout, not x louse moving expedition." anid Bagsby decidedly, "and somebody's got to kéep camp." "I'll stay fer one," offered old mam Pine, bis eyes twinkling from beneath his Gerce brows. "I've fit enough In- juns in wy time." After some further wrangling we came to drawing lots. A number of small white pebbles and one darker were shaken up In a hat. | drew in the fourth turn and got the black! "Hard luck, son," murmured old man Pine. . The rest were eager to be off. They leaped upon their horses, brandishing thelr long rifles, and rode off down the meadow. Old man Pine leaned on the muzzle of his gun, his eyes gleaming, uttering commands and admonitions {to his five sons. : "You, Old," be warned his youngest, *you miud and behave and don't come back yere without'n you bring a skelp! About 3 o'clock of the second day Pine remarked quietly: > "Thar they come!" I was instantly by his side, and we strained our eyesight In an attempt to count the shifting figures. Pines vi- | sion "was better and more practiced | than mine. | "They are all thar." said he, | they're driving extry hosses." Ten minutes later the cavalcade stop ped, and the men dismounted wearily. They were, as the old man bad said, driving before them a half dozen po- nies, which Governor Boggs herded Into the corral.' Nobody said a word. One or two stretched themselves, Johnny seized a cup and took a long drink. Yank leaned his rifie against the wall. Old man Piné's keen, fierce eye had been roving over every detail, though he, too, had kept silent. "Well, Old," he remarked, "I see you J "and Lut. obeyed orders like a good sojer." The boy grinned. "Yes, dad," said he. : And then I saw what I bad not no- ticed before--that at the belt of each of the tall, silent young backwoodsmen So horrified and revolted was I at sell to greet the men.

Only, the noveity having passed, it had become bard work, just like the making of any other kind of a fortine. - The Plue family camped below us, used our corral at our invitation, and set placidly to work. They were typ- ical frontiersmen and settled down in the well built cabin which they guick- ly van up as though they meant to make of it a permanent home. For two months, which brought us up to the end of July, they lived a regular and leisurely life. Then one morning, without 'any warning at all, they. rode over to our cabin, leading their hotses, fully packed. Old man Pine explain- ed, while his'five tall, steady eyed sons sat their horses quite immobHe in the backgroupd, that they bad dug enough} gold for their necessities, and that they were now going down to the lower country to pick out some good land. These men were the very first I hap- pened to meet who had come into the country with a definite idea of set- tiling. . After the departure of this strong force, began our discussisns as to the safeguarding of our gold. It had now reached a very consirerable sum-- somewhere near $35,000, as I remem: ber it. Bagsby was very uneasy at its presence in camp. Buck Barry brought up strongly the advisability of sending our treasure out to a safe place. His argument wus given point by the arrival in camp vue evening of three évil looking Mexicans, shabkily clothed, but well armed, and mounted on beautiful horses, 'We fed them well, but saw to the caps of our revolvers and the security of our cor- ral before turning in for the night. In the morning they departed before we were stirring, without so much as a word of thanks. These mysterious visitors had given us no faintest ink- ling of their business or destination. Don Gaspar stated flatly that they had come to spy us out, having heard of our presence iu the valley from the Indians. » "And I told them." said he triumph. antly, "that essoon we would be sen' out for the food." He went on to argue that thus he bad prepared their minds for the fact that pack horses would soon be going By distributing the gold its pres- ence would be unsuspected. I suggested a strong guard, but both Bagsby and Don Gaspar opposed me. "There's enough of these yere rob- bers to git us anyhow, even if we all went," said Bagsby, "and that's why I want to send thé stuff out now. The mince they'll tackle will be right yere, if they tackle anything at all> I will pot weary you with the pros and cons.
