TEST SIPB DlViWOX Hail trains dallv. ascent Sunday: X.V x ui l lis i : it Ar V' J" HE bridge over the ravine just east of Nugget camp was fin ished. Guy Hurler, the young civil enginec r having the work i n charge, had left the camp with his men, to build one at the other end of the rail way, and trains h.ad been run ning through Nugget daily for a week or more. The men in the post office were talking about the bridge. "To change the subject," said Hi King, "I wonder if we won t see the young engineer chap back here ag'in afore long?" "I see whatyerdrivin' at!" exclaimed old Bob Coomer, from his seat on the biscuit box the post office was grocery as well and he smiled good naturediy. The man next to the big miner old Lee Harding looked at htm with a puzzled stare, then dropped his blood shot eves to the floor. 'Don't believe the young feller could help lovin' Cathie Dana," Bob Coomei continued. "I've seen stacks o' gals, but old Mark liana's little daughter beats 'em all!" "I bet he does come back," put in an other, "i saw 'em say good-by. Couldn't help it; but I didu't let on I did." "P'raps that's what made the bridge take so long to build," said Hi King, jokingly. "Boys," cried old Bob Coomer. look ing through the open door down the road, "hero comes Bill! Wonder if Cathie gits a letter?" "She hain't got one afore, said Tim Lynch. "I've accidentally Jiuug about here every day since the young feller's been gone, and when she d come and ask if there mightn't be suthin' for her dad or her. Bill Keid never had a postal card even; this is near two weeks gone by." Just then the postmaster came in, mail bag over his shoulder. He went behind the desk in the back room and began to assort the letters, which were few, and two or three pa pers. Bob Coomer looked sadiy at his sway ing head for a time, then turned impa tiently toward his desk, behind which the postmaster was sitting. 4 "Mail shuffled yet?" "In a minute," th postmaster an swered. A abort silence. "Mail sorted?" This time old Lee Harding asked tha question, and some of the men laughed. "Ye ain't expectin' a love letter, be ye, Lee?" queried Hi King. The old man did not answer. "All done now, gents," said the post master. ."Letter for Hi, paper for Tim, letter for Bob." cta nova In Xnr,T?" asked Bob. The postmaster mentioned three other men in the camp and said that the rest of the mail was for the neigh boring camp. "Well." said Bob. "time to go to work." And he left the building with the fetter the postmaster gave him unopened. "Hard luck!" ni King commented. "Wonder if the young engiueer chap s forgot all 'bout Cathie?" ."Like as not." Tim Lynch grum- behind it, drumming with a piece of pencil on a piece of quartz. "That letter thiB morning said he'd be here to-night," the postmaster be gan, jerkily, talking to himself. "I'm in a pretty fix. Wished I hadn't med dled with their Jove affair." Then Beid was silent for a short period. "But Guy Huyler got the work 1 was after," he began again, "and I want ed some revenge. I've had it. too. His letters show he loves the girl, and here he is, coming out here again, leaving business, to see why she hasn't answered them." Another silence. "If I could only get out of this scraper' he exclaimed. "I wish the train would run off the track kill him! The bridge! "I'll do it! I'll" He had come from behind the desk. and at the sight of old Lee Harding he ceased speaking, with a low curse. Then he regarded the old miner fixedly." ''Wake up!" he cried, as aa idea "WAKE UP!" OK CRIED. to strike him. "Here's seemed drink." And he poured out some liquor in a gloss for old Lee. "Tarnation!" exclaimed the old man, in a dazed voice. "What did he mean, anyhow? Guy Huyler letters comin' to-ui-rht the bridge," he stammered. Then he staggered to his feet and threw the liquor to the floor. Next he hurried out. of the building and tottered oH toward the railway. He gave a few cries that he hoped would bring the men from the concert ball or the tavern, but they never heard him. The nhrbt was cold and all the win dows of the resort were dosed. An hour passed. "Have you heard the train go through?" said Hi King, as he sat in the tavern witli Bob Coomer and some of the other miners. 'Come to think, I haven't," Bob ex- claimed. ."Au' it's late, took at the clock!" "Half nrter nine. "She ain't been so late as this since she commenced running. Just at that moment tha conductor of the evening train came in. "Boys." he exclaimed, "one of your friends is about done for! But men are bringing him here. If you've got a doctorabout, rouse him up. What's happened?" asked Bob, ex cited?. "You're pale as death, man. Why. the whole train load of us came near losing our lives just out here on the big bridge half an hour ago." the man returned.

With one hand she brushed it back as she faced the postmaster. "Some sugar?" he asked; "yon must be 'bout out to-day." "Is there no mail for dad or me?" she said, hopefully. Then, when the postmaster told her there was none, old Lee Harding saw her draw a letter from her pocket and leave It in the letter box. "Writin' to him," he mused. "She think's he's ill or somcthin'." His eyes followed the slight figuae out of the building sympathetically. Then he buried his head again in his bands. .
