dependent, and nftcr the imial pro
limlnaries, selected the liar to tell
tho next story. IIo braced him
self up with a few jiygora ot lino
old iiourboti, and reclining upon
un elegant divan, spun out tho fol
lowing tale:
"Years ago I was mining in n
gulch beyond tho Missouri river.
I had a hard timo of it getting my
initio opened nntl lived for ii week
nt n timo on beans straight, with
out salt. Hut I did linally sue
cccd. After mouths and mouths
of hard and continuous labor I
struck bedrock and fet my sluices. '
The first day's run I took out $!,-
750 in bricht, clean fohldtist, niu
nftcr thnt everything was smooth
snilini'. Poverty add hard work
were relegated to the past. I rev
eled in wealth nnd enjoyed myself
as only tlio old placer miners know
how. There was not n daneb nor
torso race of any kind for miles
around that 1 ditl r.ot attend.

trirls wore so scarce I could not
catch on. Money seemed to bo
the least consideration with them
Any young man with a handsomo

neck could'hold his own with tho
wealthiest old bach, to be found
my where Hut I got stuck on a
girl who lived down tho gulch
about a inilo below me. She was
just too sweet for any use. Talk
about your red wagons and pump
kin blossoms! Wen L was terri
bly cone. I used to meet her in
thu evening aud walk about tho
iillsulcs ami gather bluebells and
snowilowers and sprigs of cedar
nnd spruco for bequets, which she
would carry homo and tnko as
much care of as anything.
'It was iu tho evening and
about tho time wp usually meet iu
tho road, between my claim and
tor father's. The sun had 6iink

down ociiuid mo inns ami tno
gulch was itshudow, but it was at
east an hour till dark. 1 II never
forgot how gay 1 felt that ovoiuug
as l walked urisKiy along, wmi
tend erect and confident mien.
Tho odor of tho pines I can smell
nt this moment and see tho picture
of Avalanche gulch us plainly as 1
can seo tins company.
"Tho Girl s name was bantu
Sho usually woro u red sash about
icr waist, and I could often rccog
nizo her quite a distance away as
sho would in and out along tlio
crooked trail. On this ovening
for some perverso reason, I deter
mined to wait and let her como
further up the gulch than usual.
rom u slight oiiiincnco 1 watched
tlio trail till I saw her pass a point
of view J100 yurds away, and their
lastuned to meet her. Detween us
was n natch of willows nnd pines,
through which tho trail ran. A
ilcasnnt brcczo was blowing up
the gillch and a more deleghtftil
ovciilngI never 6aw. A few moro
steps and 1 would meet Sarah, thu
npplo of my eyo ami the delight of
my existence. A sudden turn iu
tho trail ami we were face to face.
Sho hud stopped and was standing
lorfectly still, her eyes riveted on
an object about midway botween
us, 1 took in the situation at a
glauco at a glance. Surah's face
was as pale us a Ducket ot milk iu
litidow. Jler nanus were clasped
upon her breast nnd I thought I
could sec her tremble. Tho object
that had stricken terror to tho
heart of this sweet young girl was
crouched in tho path, Its tail was
gentlytswceping from sitlo to side

from tho action of the animal ami

upon tho first movement to escape
tho lioit would spring upon Sarah,
and perhitjia tear her to pieces bo
faro I could render any assistance.
I hud no weapon, not. oven .a jack-

tensely absorbed in watching the I thorn, hut Sarah has been as com
young girl that it had not ncflccd J pletoly lo.t to mo it if she had
my iipprouuh, nnd Sarah did not
appear to soo inc. I consider my.
self :u bnivo as any man iu actual
danger, hut thtit sight simply par
nlyxrd me. I did tho first thing
thnt ontorod my mind, I turned
nnisclussly tidout nnd ran with tho
swiftuoss of n dcor (o my cabin up
tho gulch after my rifle. .Reach

I couldn't Imvo been more than
three minutes iu making thu trip,
yet it scorned liku an hour. Hut
in that three niiinitos events oc
curred that settled me into the
cynical oldr"b:iehulor you seo before

Hie lion was still crouched in

it. Tho girl was nowhere to bo

nervous haste fired at the bride's
head. . J., w.as in ml, Condition to
hit a barn door at twenty paces at

Sarah was groat. Tho lion never

Imtigino my surprise at that iiip
ment to hear tt rippling peal of
laughter and a loud guffaw from a
clump of trees not twenty feet
away. I realized- in a moment
that I had been made the victim
of n practical joke. ;' Tho-girl, my
girl, -my Sarah, had deliberately
planned with sompof the' boys 'in
the gulch to make, mo ridiculous
and wound my pride ami sensibil
ities, which were very great. My
heart was soroly wounded and 1
turnud nmjeiiticnlly 'about, pa!o
with anger, and stalked oft to my
CUUlll.
. It was some time before I learn
ed exactly how tho trick, had been
iluycd. Ono Sunday, morning 1
ay apparently' dozing in my bunk
and overheard thu incr. relate tho
circumstances connected with the
only tragedy of my life It seems
that some of the l(oys down the
gulch had become jealous of my
attentions to Sarah nnd resolved
in some lmiuuur to give me a set
back. A mountain ton had been
prowling around tho camp the
wintur before and was shot one
morning while iu the act of taking
a quartor of beef from tho comer
or a cabin whero it was hanging.
It had been carefully skinned and
stuffed iu lunanner to maku it ap
pear very lifelike, thoy placed it
on tho trail in position where 1
shot it, nnd-by moans of thread
attached to its tail, with men con
cealed iu the willows on either
side of the trail to null the threads
they had no difliculty iu whisking
its tail from Bide to side. I
wouldn't have cured if Sarah hadn't
been in tho plot. Hut that thought
made me furious. To think that
she , W.oll to make a long sto
ry as short as possible, 1 sulked
awhile and rejected every effort at
reconciliation, finally sold out and
took a trip to the Kust mid was
gono a your. Hut 1 uover forgot
iui-idi. She was in my mind con
tinually, and i rosolved to return
and mako it all up. i came back
to Helena and hurried across to
Avuluiiunu as fast as a good horse
could carry me i went to the
cabin full of hope and pleasant an
ticipation. A great deal of cloth
ing was hanging out to dry, and as
t got near oiioitgh i saw that tho
placo had been turned into a Chi-
