Copyright, iM. by OONTINUKU PROM LAST WKKK. ' Dorothy could hardly have told Die meaning of her sigh as after h little she saw him come out and ride away, back over the rood he hod come. She hud so for recovered from her rancor that he no longer appeared to her the unprincipled ndrenturer her unbridled indi'pTiotion had first assumed that her father's enemy necessarily must be. Her father had said that the youiiir man might well be honestly mistaken, even averring that in Neil's place his attitude might hare been the same, She was glad to accept this justification for him. It reinstated her world's fair hero in her respect, although she could pot feel that it narrowed the gulf which circumstances bad brought between them. To assume that he was the vic tim of error was to say that he held honestly to the belief tibat her father was no better than a common thief. To call it misunderstanding could not alter the fact of his actual attitude; and so long as this was so, Dorothy felt that any friendship between them must be out of the question. For her father's daughter, from his standpoint of belief, he could hardly have even common respect to give; while, as her father's daughter, it seemed clear to her that she could show no favor to this Harvey Neil without in a way being a traitor to her father's cause. Hut, wiiile this conclusion appeared to her simply inevitable, she knew in her heart that she was sorry for it, knew that in spite of herself she must ac knowledge sort of willf 1 liking for him which cold reason had not power to argue down. She was -roused from her revery by a scraping of chairs on the wooden side walk outside the window, and, remind ed of the walk she had been going to take, was starting upstairs to fetch her hat, when she was diverted from the purpose again by the remark of an un seen speaker, who had just established himself there in the shade. ' 'Pears like that horse of Neil's is kinder gain' back on him," he drawl- juariy ooservea, punctuating- toe re mark by a sibilant expectoration of tobacco juice far out into the street. He does have such luck, that feller. Seems like everything is jest natchellv foreordained to go back on him the min ute he gits aholt of iC "Sandy, though, never loses his grip,' another voice lazily supplemented, ac cepting the first statement as beyond argument. "Speaking of that, ihow's that case of his with the colonel comin' out, d'you think?' "Well, I ain't bettin on that at this stage of the game," waa the response, in a tone expressive of the speaker's confidence that he was cannily up to snuff; "but if I was, my money would go down on the colonel, sure. He's a bird, that old duffer. If you have any dealhVs with cbim you want to git up pretty early in the mornin' 'n' hang on ito the end of the rope that's got the knot 5n it, or it will be slippin' through your fingers with a ;now-you-see-it-'n'-now-you-don't!' Why, they talk about Jay .Gould comin' out here to Colorader 'n' jumpia' a hull railroad. I tell you Jay wa'n't, in it 'side of Col. Randolph Mere dith when ihe gits his jumpin' pants on. He'd jump a church if he took a notion; .1 , f J. V then he'd go to law 'n' beat the preacher V the hull congregation. 'N' now he's 'took a fancy, to jump the Mascot well, Neil's a goner, the way I look at it." "But the colonel 'ain't got no case,'" argued the other, dispassionately, "l'ou. know how 'twas. Never a snicil of mineral in the Grubstake till they relocated, tioppin' round the side lines bo's to take in the Mascot's best ground." . "Well,. I ain't for arguin' uhout that. All I'm sayin' Is that the colonel says the vein's his'n, V what, the colonel uys generally goes with a jury, I've no ticed. He's got a way with him that ecems to catch 'em." 1 "Catches 'em in their pockets," laughed the other appreciatively.'! "Sure. 'N' if Nell thinks he's playln' against a square game welt probably he knows better'n that. Everybody knows what the colonel is. 'N' when it conies to goin' to lawog'lnsthim well, JtfelTi bitten off inore'n be can. chaw, ' ' Dorotlir draw back UuUlr. J. B. lipplncttt Co. in my opinion." And here for the niO' ment the argument imusvil. . Dorothy turned nuuv from the win dow, walking the length of the room. where she stopped, blankly staring nl a group of tmliirircd photographs iiuixa Ivtly framed iu black walnut, faces so unprepossessing that in an undercur rent of thought she was dully marvel ing that family affection could be so lacking in fondly pride as thus to ex pose tnein to public view. Hut, whil striving to believe that the conversation to which she had just listened hail left her wholly unmoved, that she held it as altogether beneath her notice, she knew that she was trembling with angry excitement. She fairly burned with wild desire to go out and silenae those calumniating tongues with such scathing reproach as now in her per turbation she could hardly compose in her own miud. It was monstrous, in credible, that she should be called to listen to such arrant falsehood, such un consclonable slander. She was almost blinded with the anger that possessed her as she stood there determinedly staring at that Ill-favored group of pho tographs; and yet, as she grew some what calmer, it was straight back to the window that she went. Woman-like, she could not resist the impulse to know the worst that might be said. She had no compunction of con science in thus playing the role of eaves dropper. So far as she thought about it at all in her disturbed condition of mind, it was to argue that a conversa tion thus carried on on the public side walk could hardly assume to be private in its nature. As in honor bound, she coughed slightly to give notice of her presence as she resumed her seat; Imt the cough was very gentle, and, if she had been disposed to self-examination. she must have owned herself relieved when presently the voices went on un- heedingly. "I always thought 'twas MeCreadv put the colonel up to that job in the first place, one was now meditatively oliserving. "You mind he was workin in the Mascot when they run across that slip in the hangin' nail, 'n' 'twas then, I reckon, he see his ohance. II writes off to the colonel to give him a bond V lease on the Grubstake, 'n' that puts the colonel onto the fact that the old claim might be wuth so'thin', 'n' over he conies 'n' looks the ground over, 'n' they fix up some kind of n deal between 'em. McCready is superintend ent of the mine, V up he goes sinkin' a shaft in the toughest ground ever was no sort of show of mineral at all; but that don't feaze McCready. He knows what he's about. X pretty soon he's driftin' straight in the direction of that little no-account crack in the Mas cot hangin wall, 'n' all of a sudden there he is with both feet. He's struck a true fissure vein that he must nacheliy foller right across the Mascot's richest ground. Oh, L tell you 'twas McCready engineered that deal." "Rut I notice that the colonel wasn't for givin' back anythin' when Neil come olaimin' that the ore was his'n," rejoined the other voice, dryly. "But 1 s'pose McCready was at the bottom of the job, just the same. He's always had it in for Neil along of that dynamite business." "Yes; he's sore about that and no wonder. It was a clos't shave for Mc Cready. If the union hadn't 'a' put in its best licks to save him, I reckon he'd 'a' been in stntc's prison now, instead of swellin' round as superintendent of the Grubstake. Though, 's fur as that goes, I never quite believed he done it." "Oh, nobody believes he done it now," laughed the other. "Nobody be lieves lie ever set eyes on the old Mas-, cot shat-housc. But, I say, what's the matter with goin' over to Jim's 'd' bavin' a game of freeze-out?" a prop osition which was promptly followed by a shuffling of feet across the street. CHAPTER VII. A little way beyond the hotel at the vest, Windy Gulch appeared to come to an abrupt end, it one street dividing into a couple of no less dusty though somewhat narrower roads, of which the pone at the right climbed away over the hills to meet the Old Silver trail and other remote by-ways, while the other turned down among the shadows of the cottonwoods by the creek, keeping to its wavering company for a mile or more before it was forced to higher levels on its way to the mining camp of Tomtown. This little Cottonwood grove where the rood started waa the one touch of sylvan beauty of which Windy Gulch might boast. There was a great, unpainted wooden structure, housing an abandoned process for treat ing ores, just at the left of the turn ing point, followed by two or tnree cabins likewise deserted; but beyond this the trees had been left to grow old unmolested. A little way along there was an old Spanish arastra fallen to ruins across the creek, while the yawning mouths of shallow tunnels hero and, there told of somebody s loil ures; but paying leads had never been discovered in this quarter, and in those day windy Gulch for the most part passed it by .unheeding. ' Sometimes lovers came to loiter along its shadiSd, grass-grown road on Sunday afternoons ; and more rarely yet travelers passed flint way, going to or coming from, Tom town, but these latter generally those to, irt 'round by the nuwi-r and bttter roaS thai turned off down the canyon, a few miles below, so that Dorothy had discovered that on weekdays site might sn.fu.ly count on never meeting uuylHidy Mere, Hut It happened on this August after noon thnt Harvey Noll limf started for Tomtown, hoping to consummato some sort of bargain by which Ills Mlliinery colleague Hrlglmm might be left to IiIk duty in the furthcoming trial, He hud turned aside at Windy (lutcli to consult the doctor about his horsu, Uncling that the nninial hud gone lame; mid ho wtw chagrined to discover, when lie luul gone a few miles. Unit In commuu liu inanity he must turn buck, the trouble being so uggruvatcd by the bad road, which In ninny places was but u stretch of bleuchiug bowlders washed bare by spriug-tlme floods; whence it hapeiied that Dorothy s solitude on this occa sion came to bo iuvaded by the one person who most occupied her thoughts, She had almost forgotten her Indigna tion on her father's account in the subtle pleasure growing out of the idea thut Met ready was the one person resiiou siblo foi tall the trouble. This view of the case exactly liarinonl.ed with her preconceived opinion. She luul instinct ively disliked the superintendent of the mine from the outset, und now she could take to herself credit for her penetration. Her father hod been mis led, deceived, mainly that McCready might profit by it, might find means to gratify a private malice uguinst the owner of the Mascot mine. She was now impulsively persuaded that Har vey Neil had been really wronged, and all because her father had been system atically led to false conclusions by this arch-plotter, who had no cure for any sacrifice of honor in uttaining his own evil ends. If but the proofs might lie forthcoming to prove the wrong, to ti duce ber father to withdraw ami make restitution while yet there waa time to vindicate hia real moral blameletu nesa! Harvey Neil had dismounted to spare the horse, and for a mile or more had been plodding along, leading the ani mal, when, just at a turn in the rood as he came down into the little cotton- wood grove, he stopped short In sur prise at sight of Mist Meredith seated by the roadside. The hills hail here crowded down on either side of the narrow creek, great rock masses joining hands as though it bail been purposed to hold back tlie hurrying water, which, but in madder joy 03 it seemed, went leaping over the low barriers in a series of foam ing waterfalls, churned to whiteness anil shimmering like liquid opal in the caressing sunshine. Here the road had been blasted out of the solid rock at one side, and the debris so formed heaped up into a low wall along the waters edge; and here It wus the gill was sitting, so lost in thought us to be utterly deuf to the advuncing stejw above the swishing and rushing of the stream. Neil had thought the day of Uie storm that Miss Meredith must look her best in her riding habit, but to day, in the simple cotton gown she wore she seemed to him even more daintily lovely. "Ten times more charming than her father's crabbed, and he's com posed of harshness," he quoted, nnder his breath, loitering all be might in the pace that must presently bring him beside her. Curious as he was to know how she wonld greet him, be yet would gladly linger to enjoy the pretty pic ture she made, all unconscious of any observer. But she seemed to feel his glance by instinct, looking up with a startled air which changed to a flashing smile of welcome as she recognized him, blush and smile so surprising to Harvey Neil that as he stopped short in the road he had hardly presence of mind to lift his hat. By no stretch of the imagina tion could he have counted upon such greeting as this after her stern ar raignment the other day. I beg pardon, Miss Meredith. - I hope I didn't frighten you," he pres ently found tongue to say, with a doubt ful, deprecating smile. Oh, not at all; only one never meets anybody here, you know." There could be no mistaking the friendliness of her manner; and Neil's face grew brighter. "I am an exception to prove the rule. you see," be said. "I hope you don't mind." No; I am glad to meet you," she hesi tantly returned, to his further amaze ment. "I want to apologize." - "To apologize you! I cannot pos sibly imagine Why, Miss Meredith; though if it makes you the least bit glad to see me, of course I am thankful for the notion, whatever it is. But it is 1 who should apologize. It haa been on my mind ever since I met you, how mean it was of me to mislead you so. to enjoy your kindness under false pre tenses. I told you the other day that I was not sorry, that I never should be; but all the while I think I knew that I was bound to be ashamed of myself sooner or later. But I do not think it was so very heinous," murmured the girl, with u little smile, as she resumed her seat upon the rock, seeming not to notice as, after a doubtful glance at her, he ven tured also to establish himself on an adjoining bit of wall. "It would have been worse if you had pretended that you did not know my name, as you might easily have done." "Oh, no; I could not, for you told me yourself, if you will remember. You were so kind. But you are kinder now, Miss Meredith, If you really forgive me. I was afraid the other day tihut you never would." "I was taken by surprise the other day," she hurriedly rejoined, her eyes upon the flowers In her hand, whlch slic had been rearranging. "And I knew so little about the trouUe between papn and you; I always do know so little of papa's business. Of this I had only an idea that somebody wan trying to prove that he had stolen a vast sum of money Out of that somebody s mine; claiming that he waa in fact little bettor than a common thief, Naturally, I did NO MISTAKE cured promptly of NEURALGIA not feel very kindly disMised Inward tllllt HOIlUMKHly. "Hut now your views have modified ?" ho eagerly questioned. "I think I understand the case a lit tle better," she hesitatingly returned, avoiding his glance. . "It is so kind of you to say Hint," He wus silent a moment, nbseiitly gather Ing up frton the mad u few chh!cs which he threw one by one into the nearest waterfall. "And do you kiuiw. Miss Meredith, much as I have iihvnyv regretted the trouble between tin milieu, I have never regret ted it so much as now since meeting you ngiilii," "TJumi, if that Is ho," dim Impulsively r turned, only the deepening IIiihIi up on her cheeks lietriiylng conhciiuisucHK of the confession as it related to herself, "why will you not try to put un end to It? Why will you not see my father mid explain the matter from .voiirstiiiid- point have a clear uiidonituiidlng mid settle it nil up wlllinut any mure troiihlemnm law business? I tun sun; H would lie so much nicer." Neil passed his hand across his mus tache, brushing us it were the smile which thrctitciwd to break Into luugli ter at her feminine simplicity. "And I urn sure also that It would be very much nicer," he agreed, his tone almost caressing In iu gcntleuca. "I only wish we might settle It so easily; but 1 mil afraid it would Uikeauoiv than my eloquence to induce your rather to sec t h malti'r f rum my stuiulKlnt." 'Hut can you not w how very easily might be deceived?" she nuxlouslv Ourloui m b wm to taAW how sb would frl Un, bs woulS cUAlr hv UbswwI. urged. "He has not had the manage ment of the mine himseJf; and if any wrong has been done" "You do not know how glnd it makes me tluit you aire even willing to admit the possibility of wrong having been done," he said, as she. hesitated "to have you of your own accord giving uie the benefit of a doubt. Mum Meredith. You cannot guess how sweet it is tome to fuel that you are a little bit my friend in the rase. Whether I lose or win, I shall always like to remember it." "Hut you will not listen to any talk of compromise," she tentatively re joined, with a disappointed air. "Pardoo me; I shall only be too glad to listen if your father will consent to such a eonfiirwioe. You must further pardon me, however. If I say that I am not very sanguine, as to the rrsults; though Heaven knows how gladly 1 would tie to any hope that well, thut would make us friends." She did not answer anything to this; and after a moment he went to fetch back his horse, that had wnndered too fur, feeding by the roadside. He changed the subject as lie came luck. "And how la your wrist, Miss Mere dith?" he asked. "It haa been on my mind for several minutes that I should like to know." "Almost perfectly well, thanks. And that reminds me I told you that I wanted to apologize." , "And I told you that I could not pos sibly Imagine why," smiling broadly at the Idea. , r "About your handkerchief, you know. I ought to hove returned it to you be fore this, but the fact is, I did not quite know how to manage it," looking up at him with a little, embarrassed laugh, her glance shyly falling to her flowers as she went on. "You see, I did not ex plain to papa about meeting you the other day. I I think It is a great nuisance explaining things." "So It is," he cordially agreed. "And I'm awfully glad you did not bother." "But I have been so worried nlioiit that handkerchief," she laughingly de clared, "If I ventured to put it In the post office, I knew that the postmnnter would be discussing with everybody how It might happen that I, Col. Mere dith's daughter, should lie sending a parcel to you; while if I sent the boy who does chores at the hotel to take i t to you well, you know the landlady's peculiarities, perhaps.
