By FREDERICK SHADER. Copyrighted. KC3, by Associated literary Press. Until the coming of Chiswlck the camp had taken It for granted that some day Letty Chester would marry Henry Bruce. The two bad grown up together In the cast, and Bruce had come west with Letty's father In search of health and fortune. Gordon Chester bad found some small wealth, while Bruce had found tho health he sought. Then Chester had died, leaving his little fortune In the bands of Bruce as executor. The camp looked to see a mnrrlnge follow quickly after Letty's year of mourning, but uo such announcement was made. Then the arrival of Chis wlck on the scene put a new complex ion on affairs. Down nt the Spread Eagle dance hall , t'no women called him "cute." Men applied other and Jess compllmeu ury adjectives, but Lctty looked on him with favtir. He was the sort of man who attracts impressionable women only about five feet six In height, but he was natty and trim of person and carried himself with a little swagger that al ways impresses the unthinking, He was neatly groomed and In every way the antithesis of six foot Henry Bruce, whose clothes flapped about his lank form and who walked with a slight stoop, os most tall men do. Chiswlck had come to camp as the agent for a supply firm. The camp had grown lu the last few years, and, though no bonanza strike had adver tised the place to the rest of the world, there was gold In plenty In the mountains and every prospect that tho place would continue to grow, Chiswlck bad a shack built for. bU SOU STAKE THAT CLAIM. iamples, nnd once the place was open he left a clerk lu charge nnd devoted himself to Letty. Chiswlck had the odd faculty of making others work, though he blniBelf lacked habits of in dustry, aud he preferred riding Into the iillls with Letty to attending to business at the store. For six months the courtship contin ued; then one day Chiswlck found Bruce waiting for him at the store. His lean length was sprawled over Cblswlck's own choir at the rear of the shack, and Chiswlck eyed his caller Sewing of all kinds. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

"It must be Important, since you wait In spite of discomforts," retorted Chis wlck. "I left word that I would be back at 5." . i had the time," said Bruce, and I wanted to see you about Miss Ches ter." "That wsfs to be expected." sneered Chiswlck. "I've been expecting it for some time. Because you haven't the nerve to win her for yourself I sup pose that yoirwnnt to use your club as guardian and tell me that I am to keep off your preserves. Rather bandy, isn't It, Hank?" "It would be If I wanted to do such a thing," was the quiet retort, "but what I came to see you about was to ask If you are going to propose. "You've mad a lot of talk In the camp, but you have said nothing defi nite to Letty, or at least she has told me nothing about It If yon have, and I think I have a right to know." "You are a man of the world, or you were before you buried yourself In this place. You must know that just be cause n mnn Is nice to n pretty girl It does not argue that be wants to marry her." "We look at things differently here lu tho mountains," retorted Bruce. "You know very well that tho entire cauip expects you to marry Letty. nnd they are wonderlug why you don't say some thing about it. As her guardian I have come to ask you to come out lu the open. That's our way." j There was a glitter In Brace's eyes that warned Chiswlck to be careful., and the snarl faded from his face and his oily voice returned as be sought to ' nrgue that his Income was too small end too uncertain to permit him to marry. Bruce listened patieutly until the cud; then he looked up slowly. I "Then It's only because you enn't af ford to marry that ycu don't ask Let ty?" demanded Brsce. ,. Chiswlck nodded. It seemed the one ' Insurmountable objection that ho could advance. lie hnd no Intention of mar rylng Letty. She was. a pretty child, and she hud helped to pass the time, but also there was always the hope that hU work In this wilderness would result In n ca! ': to the city, nnd there Letty would be it i sad hindrance. "You needn't worry about that,' cried Bruce. "You look here! I sup pose you know the branch they cal. Cat creek?" Chiswlck nodded, nnd Bruce conti'.i ncd: "There Is a gulch leading of: that creek with n tall pine at tin mouth. At the top of the gulch Is r spruce. Walk along a line with thost two trees until you come to a plae where there Is a cleft la the rocks un dcrfoot. You stake that claim, and I guess that ycu can afford to be mar rled." Chiswlck thanked hlin profusely, am' by the uext night the camp knew tha Chiswlck bad fallen upon n bonanza. . VThe darned little fool wasn't eve! looking for It," explained one of tu miners, "ne Just naturally fell ui agalust It, but unless I'm mlsti'en It'; going to be the making of th cam It's a pity that a man didn't locate it.' The sentiment was generally echoed but there la no questioning fc. e favcr; of fate. In six weeks derclopiucn. work had shown clearly that the mine was a winner, and on the heels of the assurance came the announcement that Chiswlck had sold a third interest for $800,000. .

Fate 25c. within city limits This'space is JacRson nouncement of his engagement to Let ty, but tho announcement was not forthcoming. Not until Bruce remind ed him of their - understanding and threatened to publish" him as a liar did Chiswlck speak. It was a grudging, ungracious pro posal that he made, but Letty was too happy to question the degree of his enthusiasm.- Yet before she uttered a trembling "Yes" she hesitated. "I wonder what my guardian will ' say?" she said with a little shiver. "He doesn't like you, Jack. Perhaps I we can't get married until after I come j of nge." I "Bruce?" asked Chiswfek with a laugh. "Why, he put me wise to this mine, because I explained that I did not have enough money to marry on. I don't suppose that he knew how good It was, but he knew It was some thing good, and that shows that he is not only willing, but anxious." "He gave you the mine to marry me?" she gasped. . "Sure," assented Chiswlck. "Don't you worry about Bruce." "I nm not worrying about Mr. Bruce," said Letty, with a sudden revulsion of feeling. "I don't care whether be is willing or not. I shall aot marry you." With a woman's in tuition she rend the truth. "But I say" began Chiswlck. Letty checked bis speech. "I thought you wanted to marry me," she said. "I did not know that dear old Harry had to bribe you to propose. Please go away." And Chiswlck went, only too glad to escape the scene his blunder promised to cause. Bruce coming in that evening to make certain that all was right found the girl he loved still sobbing on the couch. "And you were so anxious to get rid of me that you bribed Jack Chiswlck with a mine," she cried when the cause of her tears had been explained. "I thought you loved him," explained Bruce simply, "and without money you could-not have been happy with blra." "I can be happy without money with you," she reminded, and Bruce took, her in his arms, well content to lose the mine and find a heart of gold. Knew HU Name. The man was jealous. Insanely Jeal ous, though heaven knows the girl gave him no cause. Girls never do. He knew the name of the man he feared. . He did not tell ber so, however, but beat about the buBh, as they do on the stage. At the same time, when this story opens, they were having an emotional tussle. "Oh, George," she said, "what is the matter?" "You know well enough," he replied bitterly. "I assure you I do not," she insisted. "But you do, and you do nothing to make our life sweeter." "Tell me what I should do," she pleaded, for, though she might be frisky with George, she did not wish to lose her grip on him entirely. "Oh, George, George, why are you not frank with me?" she pleaded again. George's face became ashen gray at her fateful words. "That is It!" he hissed, the awful fire of jealousy blazing In his eyes. "That Is it. Miss SmlthUlns. If I were Frank with you Instead of George, you'd be all right" The girl would have replied, but she could not. Her tongue iclave to the roof of her mouth.
