Charde waa a tobaoco-eetlne brut whe nsver thought of (lvln hoataiss to fortune beoauaa he pevar (oun4 time to think of any tblti but old. Aa a man hs n Hrxl about thirty cants to th Ion, and lhare was considerably laa Ibas two thuuaand pounds of him. LIKE diamond dust th snow glit tered on the solid river, l.ls great emerald th atari hung quivering through tb dead at mosphere. Tb long tongue of the aurora hissed In the alienee, and It wa ten mile to Kelly'. Kvery time t.'harde'e right-band and left knee plunged down Into th mow, (hard lurched ahead twenty-one Uiehe. Every time Charde' left band and right knee plunged down Into tb snow, Charde lurched ahead twenty Inches. He made twenty-six lurches a minute. Ho Charde nude a mile every two hours. And behind him oa a to boggan rode the I'rod. No matter what our urge may be, or whether w have an urge or not, tb I'rod w bar always with ua, spurring u on. It was th I'rod that got Charde. Horn In the smudgs-of a California gold rush dune bull, spawn of a frowsy doiy and a mule-muscled Rat- head, Charde wa patently a. mistake. 'rlnelpally beef, ha Inherited from his mother the running of necessity; from hi father, the sullemiea and ferocity of a starving wolf; and from both, th htlllah vlclousness of primitive brains a-crawl wltb stampede whtaky. To th lean and bitter year of a waded youth he added other corruptions; till at tblrty-lhrre remained but tb mas- alv frame and th vlru of th Klon dike gold ctrlke. II didn't possese a itlmulu only th shadow. Ills waa th mere love of gold bees use It as gold, l.lk Ifldae, b loved tho greasy feel of It, the yel low glint of It, the deed weight of ft ; but there, Uldasllke again, hi love earns, to a full and self satisfying stop. II wal too low In th Intellectual or der to realise that the love for gold I but mean to an end. Bo he lived to gather gold; to feel of It, glare at It, weigh If In hla filthy paw; then. after h hid gloated hla 0M. to con vert It Into a liquid hell to pour down hi roaring throat. Chard waa known at Kelly' aa th Bull. Every time h earn Into Kelly' to prop hi awkwird bulk against th bar and roar fur whlaky, tb regular would hitch up their gun-belt and turn their bark to him. Always on th edge of a murderous explosion when drunk, hla little red eye warned even th moat fuddled of the danger of the ems! I eat spark of annojrsne In th vicinity of that magaxln of Intoxi cated rag. And he drink alone. Not that any of Kelly' regular would hv refused tn drink with him. with whisky at a dollar, but because be never extended aa Invitation. Charde traveled alone, worked alone, drank alone and nobody grieved. And th last time he parked hla canoe at Krity'i and went up th river, the Trod got hlra. , The last time Chard went np river, he turned Into a new tributary. A half mile np that creek, Allan MacFar lan nd hi wife were cleaning np flv thousand a week; everybody knew that Furthermore, their neareat neighbor wa fifteen mile wy. Hut Chird didn't do anything rsh. When be reached MarFartane'i cabin he pad dled acroe to th opposite (Id of th atreara and for a full hour sat behind a clump of elder, eating tobacco, cursing other men's good lurk and twirling tb cylinder of hi forty-five. Then be paddled on. Though all the other claim on th creek had pinched out and been abandoned, ararcely a summer's day pined but come on rod th current and It wai Just ten mile to Kelly'. When th winter cam,, when the creek and th river were dead, and th fw who wer forced to travel cut off two mile by th other pas farther down then . . . Charde looked more brut than human wben he left Mao, Karlane' cabin behind. Terchanc It wa the' Idea In ht mind that blurred hla vision ; or maybe bl luck had deserted him; or yet again, Providence t may have-had a hand In It He that aa It may, wben Chard itarted hark to MarFarlane's cibln In December, his poke 'wis a fiat a hi ttomuch ; alio both feet were frosted. When ha awok from a drunken stupor beside an extinct fire, and found both feet dead, an empty match box, and his flask dry, he rolled over on hi knee und itarted down stream, Two mile below waa MacFarlane'i cabin. Just around the next bend of th creek wer food and a fire, and a warm bunk to lie In till hi feet wer, gain fit for travel. And there waa the gold gold I Charde crawled through the mow, hi wit driven by Becesslty, striving to formulate a plan ot pro cedure. lie would keep out In the open and crawl straight for the cabin. And then, when MacFarlune cam out to help hlin , . . Charde halted and hi band went back to th revolver In hi belt. -n Then when he got around again, when h wa fit for a long, hiird trail gain, ha would leav Mr. MacFir- lutie that waa and itart for Kelly', Yea, he would itart for Kelly', but b wouldn't Hop at Kelly'. In fact, fie wouldn't Hop at all till many, many mile lay between bliu and the hand ful of ashes tbit b would leav be hind. Chard wo Irs thin hundred yard from MacFarlaue'i cabin when bli plan matured, And then, at though MacFarlao had heard bis muttered thought, a rill bullet roared out from th ciblu window and (creamed above hla head I Instinctively Charde ducked. He (topped crawling and bl right hand fumbled at hi bait tie curaed. The rlfl roared agMn. Chard dug down Into the snow, his aharpened wit laboring resentfully What waa MacFarlao' Idea? II had never don anything to MarPurlane. And If he wanted to ahoot at him, why didn't he com out Into the open. ' A moment later, Charde raised hl hind and poured flv (hot Into the cabin, aiming for the window, but the whlulhg lead (till picked at him. Allan MacFarlane wa Hark, stating mad. Ill wife waa dead, and to his Insan mind that crawling man on' ther wis a thieving mob trying to run hlin of hi own, md hi ilia waa aa wild aa hla wit. An hour passed. Charde relwiled hi revolver and crawled out of the hole In th anow. of the thirty-two screaming bullets not one had struck within a yard of hlin. Ilealdea, It wa quicker to die by lead than by frost, lie crossed that hundred yards. MarFsrlan jerked open the door, threw down th muxxl of hi rlfl and pulled th trigger. II missed. Charde' I answer ended the shooting, and be crawled Into the cabin. Wben the edg of daylight deserted th stirs, Charde pulled MacFarlana's body away from th door and dragged out th toboggan. It wa ten mile to Kelly'. Every time Cbirde' right baud and left knee plunged down Into the anow, he lurched ahead twenty-one Inches. Every tlm hi left hand and right knee plunged down Into the anow, he lurched ahead twenty Inches Ilia right leg ahrleked at blin and be lost an Inch.
